    He will get it back and it's going to be glorious when he does for all this suffering

    Dame is so clearly hurt. His last drive, that he missed, was so awkward.

    If it's the same thing he's been dealing with over the past 4 seasons... yeah I REALLY think he'll get it back.

    but how many more games do they let himself play out of it? He's had shooting slumps, but nothing like this. This is unheard of.

    You play him until he's out of it... it's not the end of his career or anything. He didn't forget how to play, he'll see his way out of this and again be one of the best in the game.

    Or defend anyone, which I personally think is the bigger problem.

    fans can be pretty harsh at times

    Dame has played 750 games for the Blazers and many fans are absolutely trashing him for the last 9 games, while ignoring the first 740 games, when he's obviously struggling with his shot. He's even missing layups and dunks now. He's at least running the offense well. 11 assists to 2 turnovers tonight. Last 4 games, 41 assists vs 7 turnovers....nearly a 6.0 assist/turnover ratio

    I feel for Dame, and I think he’ll get back, but I also think we shouldn’t try to play him through it. He looks like he needs rest, either mentally, physically, or both.

    bobf showed an 11 game shooting slump earlier in Dame's career that was worse than this one

    Thing is, they don't need Dame to "go off". They just need him to not shoot so horribly and be a non factor out there. If he was averaging 22 points and shooting 45% and 37%, it'd be one thing. But he's shooting like one of us out there.

    Well Lillard definitely wasn't hanging his head, showed a lot of effort down the stretch.

    Trade Dame for 10 first round picks so he can win a ring. Build around Simons now
