    Chuck on Dame: "It's hard to muster up the will to play if you're not all in. He's got to leave or they got to bring him some help."

    Charles says Lillard is shooting poorly because he's not happy.

    If the blazers have a top record at AS break; Imagine if Norm makes it over CJ.

    Norm is incredibly good. Extremely legitimate third scoring option. Perhaps on par with Batum in his prime here.

    Team still under performing. Missing consistency from guys we know can have an 80% shooting night (Ant). He’s still very young so I’ll give him time, and if he can be consistent with his shooting then this team is actually scary good and could contend.

    I don't think Dame looks happy either. But there's been so much "rah rah I'm staying" in the last few weeks he can't just step back now. I'm hoping Olshey getting fired brings in someone with a more risk taking mindset. We can move CJ and actually try something new. If it doesn't work out and Dame wants out at that point, fine. But it still feels like treadmill city up till this point.

    Even though we are playing better defense, it takes SO much effort from all of our guards. I think it's not sustainable over a course of an 82 game season + playoffs.

    Look, they only like the Lakers and Brooklyn. Chuck didn't even know who Georges Niang was. All they care about are the stars. How can I know who Niang is but Barkley doesn't? I don't know shit. But evidently, I know more about some things in the league than he does.

    Lillard is shooting about 10 percent worse on the road, so I don't think that matches someone not being happy.

    He is absent in a way that I haven't seen in years (maybe ever?). If you were new to watching this team, there's no way you'd think it was Dame's team.
    Dame is my favorite player in the organization's history (I've only been a fan since 1990). It's hard to see him not being the guy we all know. I hope he finds whatever he's currently missing (mental or physical), because that Dame is literally the most fun player to watch in the league... by a lot.

    He's in a shooting slump.

    This is how he was last April.

    You've watched Dame his entire career. He's not engaged in a way I haven't seen, ever.
