    Last year you probably trashed simons. Now... 9 games into this year you want to saddle on simons and negate the near decade run of Dame.

    I mean, that's just absurd.

    yeah, Indiana really didn't impress me much. Sabonis and Turner are pretty good, but the rest of the lineup was below average, IMO. Lavert 12 points on 21 shots

    Malcolm Brogdon is a huge part of what they do, so tonight wasn't the best representation of who the Pacers are.

    He definitely was one of the regulars that trashed Simons.

    Four times from 2012-2015 he’s gone 60 for 169. Never 18 for 83 from 3 but twice 19 for 83.

    yeah, I know Brogdon was out. He could have made a big difference for them tonight

    point is Indiana isn't very good and the Blazers needed some luck to win, at home. That probably doesn't mean anything but it's not real encouraging

    I find it encouraging that even with how bad Dame has played, Portland has had the chance to win every game (with the exception of the 1st Clippers game). If Dame played this way in previous seasons, Portland would have lost every game in blowouts.

    I don’t think we needed luck to win; I reckon we just needed more Simons, and less Dame, and it would’ve been the blowout it should’ve been.

    Well, we're missing Dame Dolla. So there's that.

    it's hard to watch but he's gone thru similar before. Not for a few seasons though

    I don't know if the abdominal injury is an issue or not. Sometimes, he doesn't seem to be moving right, but other times he shows the same speed and explosion he always has had

    it could be a combination of a new ball, a very short off-season, and the new foul rules. Over the last 2 seasons Dame has averaged 7.5 FTA/game. This season, it's 3.5. Some of his shooting rhythm may have been because of lots of FTA's, and that's been cut in half

    I think he's in his own head right now, and that's making it worse

    whatever

    I'm just not going to celebrate a home win over a 3-7 team that was missing their starting PG and their 6th man

    Everyone needs to put their arms around Dame, and let him know that they’ve got this. He doesn’t need to push through whatever he’s dealing with. He can rest, and come back when he’s ready; safe in the knowledge that everyone else will carry the load. It’s OK to be human Dame.

    I don’t think many people are celebrating this win.
