    Thankss SlyPokerDog! This is an excellent clip that shows how Dame is an all time top NBA player! Dame has several different timing and skill ways to score that forms the basis for a Blazer NBA Championship!

    Whatever. This guy is way too much of a geek. You don’t have to watch 500 clips of Lillard beating someone off the dribble to understand how he does it.

    I think it's pretty clear that Dame had been negatively impacted by his core muscle injury. He's much better this season than he has ever been at shooting inside the 3 point line

    basically, career highs from every distance but the 3-ball.And his FG% at the rim is really good for a 6'2 guard. A career mark of .583 but at .678 this season is impressive (Nurkic at .640)

    He seems to be absorbing contact a lot better this year without losing control of position or form which goes to explain why his FT numbers are so good. He has a FT rate of .450 this season while his career mark is .343. He's averaging 9.1 FTA when his career mark is 6.4 and his high before this season was 7.8

    I think Dame might be a keeper
