    I knew if I posted about the Blazers settling for 3s that they'd come alive and win by settling for 3s.

    I guess that makes me pogchamp.

    Lillard is a clutch god. The gods have rewarded us after fuck up with sam bowie. If Lillard was shooting 25 x per game since his rookie season he kick jordan ass

    Honestly, I don’t know how Lebron isn’t the mvp every year, but outside of him idk who means more to their respective team than Dame. We’d be a bottom feeder without him.

    You go cold on offense sometimes but you still need to play the other end when that's happened. Dame again come up with clutch buckets and Trent had one too. Covington with some big boards at the end help us with 5 straight victory's.

    if i see embiid mentioned in MVP convos again, i'm gonna freak out. ben simmons is the guy that makes that team elite. Embiid increases their floor, but Ben increases their ceiling. Why national media people talk like Joel is the sole reason for their success baffles me.

    and don't get me started on Luka/Steph being ahead of Dame.

    OKC only calls one timeout in the last 4 min, 12 seconds during a 18-2 run. Don't see that often in late game situations.

    Dame just wants to destroy this franchise and send them back to Seattle.

    This game reminded me of a similar Dame virtuoso performance against OKC. Everyone was exhausted and we just didn't have it, and Dame drops like 4 straight threes to end it.

    6 straight wins, another road win, another road cover, more and more short-handed. This team is massively overachieving and I'm loving it!

    6 players in double figures and Dame with a double double. Kanter with 20 boards. Covington with 6 blocks and 5 assist. 38 points off the bench and 26 assist. Overall I thought we play well there's few cold spots but again they figure how to win the game.
