    Dame plays well in Salt Lake most of the time.

    Blazers last 9 wins have come against teams with a combined 87-165. My optimism for them betting an even decent team on the road is not exactly very high.

    Thats an odd way to say "does anyone need a headcase on their team"?

    All those teams that need shooting & perimeter defense, probably are looking for someone who are good at shooting and perimeter defense.

    This is a blowout win for the Jazz. If Dame shots 0/10 against the pels, then then I don't want to know how he's going to shoot against the Jazz, even with Conley out. Right now i have zero trust in Dame.

    In his defense, he's been like this for awhile.

    When you mention that you want Dame to shoot more just because this is what people mean when it's not necessarily the best strategy. You can't have it both ways.

    It's not just a bad game, you know that Tortured, something is different with Dame this year. I know Blazersfan1977 was radical in his oppinion but he wasn't wrong at all

    Yes i want him to shot more because the other options are more bad. I look at someone like Harden last year when Paul, Capela and Gordon were out, similar to us and Harden took his team on his back and made the Playoffs on HCA. I want Dame do the same

    I kind of want him to force it less. They’re a better team when 3-4 guys are involved in the offense then when just him and CJ taking turns!

    Dame's having the most efficient season of his career.
    Dame's averaging 26.5ppg.
    Dame's averaging a career high 7.5apg (next closest was 6.9apg).

    So yes, he was wrong, and so are you.

    Dame is a really good player but he’s not Lebron, James Harden, Giannis, KD, those types who can get theres whenever they want to because their all taller than him getting the shots off are easier. They can see over Trap easier than him, none of that means he’s a bad player but if you’re expecting him to take over and average 30-12-10 its not going to happen. He’s great at what he does but he’s a scoring PG, who is a good 3 point shooter isnt a great one like steph. He’s gonna need contributions from others, and thats ok.
