    I missed that. I stand corrected. He's made it clear on numerous occasions that he's a Houston man. I never used to be able to decide who was my favourite Trail Blazer, Clyde or Sabas. It's an easy decision now.

    That's a good win and a big win. Dame has been playing like an MVP. If he can keep it up and we can get better on D then we might just sneak into the playoffs. I know that's not what a lot in here want but it is what I want.

    For me, it was when he wore a Rockets letterman for the top 50 players of all time. From that moment forward, I don't care about him.

    Always liked TP over him anyways.

    What Dame has been doing recently can't be understated. It's historic and awe inspiring. He is doing everything in his power to keep our season afloat.

    TP is mine. Clyde got the press, but Porter and Kersey were the heart of that team.

    Dame's averaged 53pts, 9ast, and 7reb over the last 3 games. 27-47 on three's. Has to be a historical performance

    in 61-62, Wilt averaged 74 points and 26 rebounds over a 3 game stretch. That was the year he averaged 50 points and 26 rebounds

    I'm glad Trent is doing well and that Stotts is recognizing and rewarding him.

    I'm sad that that surprises me.

    Dame’s tribute: That 8 three pointers for 24 points is for Kobe

    besides Dame, Whiteside had a great game. 9-11 on FG's for 21pts, 14reb, and 6blks.

    MeJ settled down and morphed into the good CJ we see every so often. He was assisted on 8 of his 12 FG's tonight, which is about where his assisted FG rate should be; and he cut down on is shot-clock-burning-dribble-dribble routine. CJ's assisted FG rate is 35.4%...that should be approaching 60%. He should be doing a lot more catch & shoot and a lot less catch and dribble

    It’s not hard to say. Who cares. Trent is plenty fine

    This is getting crazy how many times I've had to update this graph this season.

    upload_2020-1-27_11-32-0.png

    He's score 50 or more points 9 times in his career (so far). It's only been done by a Blazer 16 times total.

    This Dame guy is pretty good.

    Kobe's passing has just put into perspective for me how much we should appreciate Dame's brilliance and not take a moment of it for granted while he's with us. Legendary talents like them don't come around very often and then they can be gone in an instant.

    Dame is in a place right now where few have gone. Regardless of what else is going on around him and with this season, it is a real treat to be able to witness what he is doing in real time.

    I know right? If only the Blazers could ever be so lucky to someday maybe get a player like that.

    Dame is doing what Harden was doing when the rockets were hurting last year.

    But dame is better and harden is an overrated player, so theres that.

    Great night for Dame....but that the Blazers gave up 129 points to a Pacer team without their starting PG, starting Center and still without their starting all-star SG Oladipo is just a continuation of what had been going on this season. It counts as a win against a .500 team, but if they have to score 130 to beat a team without 2-3 of it's best players, it's a pretty hollow win.

    Not if you're a competitor.
