    Relative to usage Dame gets more calls than Luka and a lot more than Steph.

    not a conspiracy by the NBA to get Dame to a big market

    Dame is 9th in FTA while taking 53% of his shots behind the arc

    So for me today's game showed that "enough is enough" actually was something. Our guys are more active on both ends of the floor and are maintaining focus that they had been severely lacking for a while there. So good game. Go Blazers!!!

    LOL...can you just lighten up a little? I was praising the Blazers for the win, And I was just making an off-hand remark remembering all the 'yeah, but...' comments about the previous wins

    I wasn't thinking about the necessity of running my comment thru your Baghdad-Bob filter of acceptable praise, or having to be precise so I wouldn't get Matlocked over semantics.

    Thank you for answering in the negative. That's something a trained monkey could do. Please provide a better explanation.

    I think one of my top 3 things in here that drives me nuts is the “dame doesn’t get calls” garbage.

    This was on a sub for offense. That's a good play by Stotts. But when you're up 5 with 3:30, you gotta have your best defensive player out there to protect the lead.

    I have at least 3 quality jokes to respond to this, but I don’t want to lose my house, car and 401K. Also putting a kid though college right now. #BAM

    Blazers play another solid game and get another win on the road. Can't complain about that!

    why should I try to explain your theory?

    do I think Dame deserves more calls than he gets? sure...I'm a Blazer fan. That he doesn't get as many calls as I think he should doesn't have to mean anything more than a combination of my homer glasses and some missed calls. I'd bet the fans of just about any star player with high usage who dribble-drives a lot thinks his guy deserves more calls. Big surprise

    and why the fuck are you reacting so aggressively to my dismissal of your conspiracy theory? It's a pretty wacky theory
