    maybe, but I'd need to know what injuries are nagging him. A bad ankle can happen at anytime

    this was posted in the last game thread:

    that's for the full season so far, including the 12 games of Nurkic and 12.5 games of CJ. It might be that Dame feels lots of pressure, knowing that if he doesn't produce elite offense for the team and himself, the Blazers go nowhere, regardless of health

    I'm a strong advocate for maintaining good mental health in the workplace. Quick addresses it a bit with what Dame has been dealing with behind the scenes. We saw his posts on IG but this kinda stuff wears on you. We've all been dealing with this the past year to some extent. Makes what Dame is doing on the court that much more impressive.

    Dame is much better when guarding on the ball and he has 4 players helping him out whereas if he plays off the ball on defense, he never help defends and his side of the floor is wide open for opposing players to penetrate to the basket.
    Bottom line: if Dame is on Curry we have a better chance of containing the Warriors as a team

    Looks like the Knicks vs the Pistons in the late 80's

    We wouldn't leave his defender out on an island... that wouldn't make any sense.
