I saw it last night. Morris had it. Campazzo had it. Rivers had it. Michael Malone has it. That look that says "we are here to destroy you." The Blazers are getting outplayed, outcoached, and most of all, "out attituded"... That is not good when your two best players are 6-3 or under, and aside from Enes Kanters abs, there doesn't seem to be much muscle definition to this squad. They are not big and strong enough. They may have the better group of basketball players, but they are not the better team. I'm not here to play the "blame game" we all see what's happening. Sometimes you just have to admit the other team is playing better, and blame them. I'm hearing the CJ for Paul George scuttlebutt as I'm sure you are too. I absolutely HATE Paul George. But maybe its time to take off the white cowboy hats, and put on the black cowboy hats, if that's what it takes. The Blazers talk a good game, but they don't walk it. The Eye Of The Tiger is missing.
whenever I hear or see "Eye of the Tiger" it reminds of what a coach that worked out both Durant and Oden before draft had to say "even though is not strong and a lot being made of his strength, Durant has the "Eye of the Tiger" within him. Cant remember the guys name but he's was an assistant and being interviewed on the radio.
Can't say I wholeheartedly disagree with this take. Dame and CJ exude comfort and stability, not firey "play your ass off, scrubs, or you'll be gone this summer!" attitude. Dame has that killer instinct at the end of close games, but where's that "mean mug" fire in the 2nd and 3rd quarters when games are won and lost?
@THE HCP was working a Manny Pacquio fight in Vegas years ago....... as he is making his walk to the ring, the lights all shut down with one spotlight shining......this song kicks in...... and the lead singer is walking in front of him singing the god damn song LIVE!!!!! We all started freaking out!!!! One of my favorite memories of my career!

Lillard makes 3-pt jump shot from 27 ft just one game ago he scored 22 in the 2nd Q. But Portland lost big time because hie teammates were busy sucking donkey balls and the game before that, his 2nd & 3rd quarters: 6:50.0 D. Lillard makes 3-pt jump shot from 26 ft 4:47.0 D. Lillard makes 2-pt jump shot from 9 ft 2:17.0 D. Lillard makes 3-pt jump shot from 23 ft (assist by A. Simons) 1:29.0 J. Nurkić makes 2-pt layup from 5 ft (assist by D. Lillard) 11:10.0 J.

Lillard makes free throw 3 of 3 0:32.0 A. Simons makes 2-pt jump shot from 17 ft (assist by D. Lillard) 0:01.0 D. Lillard makes 3-pt jump shot from 28 ft so, 23 points and 5 assists by Dame in a game the Blazers won. In other words, in games 1 & 2, in 3 of the 4 Q's you're talking about, Dame had 45 points and 6 assists. But as usual, for some people here, it seems to always be what he failed to do rather than what he did by the way, he had 12 points and 4 assists in the 2nd & 3rd Q's last night
