Dame finally started getting key calls. Is the NBA PER machine finally realizing that Dame is most marketable superstar? Are they ready to have Lebron pass the torch to Dame? No one can argue he is the best player in nba, and his demeanor and his style of not switching forming superteams is streight from 1980s 90 style like MJ. I know Portland is a small market, but Dame is on nbk21 cover, he had major role in Lebron space Jam. Is NBA finally going to give us key calls like MJ and kobe used to get? Nobody in 2020 is more pulverizing and popular like Dame. If he KOs Lebron Lakers he will become biggest superstar and passing of torch
He’s gotta bring one home! Then he becomes my all-time Blazer over Walton. And with a ring, Dame becomes NBA elite! Top 5, maybe top 3 players in the league. but he’s gotta being one home! And guess what? THIS IS HIS BEST OPPORTUNITY to do just that!
He got closer bitch slapping Skip Bayless yesterday....yeah...Dame is in the NBA conversation now regularly
Dame is all over Twitter, Insta, Reddit etc. I saw a lot of hate comments against him because of Free Throws and the Blazers. Probably a lot of Mavs, suns and grizzlys fans
I know we all hate Harden as Blazers fans, but the one man show Dame has put on this season is basically what Harden has been doing for years. Also the baiting of fouls that Harden does....Dame does that quite a bit and probably got about 10 free throws tonight because of it. There's gotta be a level of respect for Harden when you see how Dame is doing the same thing.
I was on rockets forum and they cried saying “ imagine if harden shot so many FT” those idiots forget that harden takes 20-25 FT when he scores over 50 pts look it up the evidence is on paper. He never had less than 20FT attempts when scoring 50+
If he’s selected as 1st team All NBA. hope so! Right now however, I’d probably put Dame within the top 7. But if he gets us to the dance, I’ll bump him into the top 5. Win a title...top 3. but he’s not (yet) cracked the top 5
One would hope the NBA would be embracing Dame. This is a mercurial performance regardless of city size. Also, they may figure they have to because if (angel choirs singing) if the Blazers were to win the Play-in and then beat the Lakers in Round 1, the NBA wants people to embrace and not wonder who the heck this Blazer team is.
The google machine is my friend and can be yours too. Put James Harden 55 into a search and... https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...kets-withstand-scare-from-cavaliers/40803867/ ...which is a pretty good counter to your claim that "He never had less than 20FT attempts when scoring 50+". But whatever, obviously this is a homer gone wild thread. STOMP
Harden literally had a game this season where he scored 55 with 5 free throws. Look it up if you want.
Wow great thats an abnormality. Whats your point? Bottom line is Dame is a much more efficient scorer who doesn’t rely that much on FT like harden always has
What's my point? You're the one that made the ridiculous claim that Harden has never scored 50 with less than 20 FT attempts. Here are Harden's free throw attempts in his 50+ point games this year: 23, 18, 5, 6, 24. He had 9 50+ point games the year before and only shot over 20 FTs in two of them.
