    He looks pretty good with that kind of talent around him.

    That second unit the Bucks just threw out there is pretty much comparable to the Starters Dane has had for he last 8 years.

    I selfishly want Dame to look as good or better for Milwaukee because I want to validate his time in Portland.

    I'm actually surprised about how little I care about Dame in Milwaukee. Clean break!
    He kind of helped by making it a bit messy, so... thanks Dame!

    Honestly, will anyone rank the Dame Years among the great periods of Blazer history? I mean it's not even top 4 for me. The last decade has pretty much dragged.

    Might not want to speak so soon? If he comes back and this team wins a chip there will be no question about "The Dame Years".

    A wheelbarrow-load of individual heroics and highlights… yeah a lot of us are chasing the dragon of a championship but like, those weren’t nothing.

    And that’s why I chuckle at people who say he is the greatest Blazer ever.

    Agree with you 100% here ... Dame had some great moments but outside of the fluke WCF season that was just a shit show to watch against the Warriors, nothing from the TEAM stood out compared to the other runs the Blazers have made in the past. Great individual player, who was never around the right pieces to be on a truly great team.

    Really? Do you think that if you swapped out Dame for Walton, Clyde, or Sheed in that “fluke” WCF series against the Warriors in Dame’s era, the results would have been any different?

    Lillard hit a 3 right in Christie's grill. Bucks fans have never seen one of their players do that. Milwaukee shoots a ton of triples, but they're all off screens or open kick outs. Not 1 on 1 bust one off.

    He's had great individual performances. But I prefer watching great teams.

    He never had a good team around him so it wasn't as good as it should have been.

    You are getting your old Blazers mixed up. The prick is in Phoenix.

    Read their posts today. They are absolutely aflame about Lillard. As they should be.

    I'm super happy for Dame. I'm happy for me getting to see two of my favorite players in the League together and one whom I wanted to draft over CJ (Giannis). So it's like peeking into an alternative timeline where we drafted Giannis. It's also a small market which I love. We punked Miami which I love and still chuckle about after interracting usually against my will with Miami fans on Blazer forums and especially on YouTube and Twitter/X. I am super happy for Dame and Milwaukee is my Team 1B after my young and exciting Blazers. This also allows Scoot and Sharpe to start on their journey towards superstardom. Things are good and becoming great!
