Mean yeah, this is what you would expect from a highly prolific scorer who isn’t an elite playmaker / struggles to get his team involved and who is a bad defender - but plays with our best defenders whenever he is on the floor. it amazes me how obsessed with individual stats you all are. Basketball is a team game. If our team loses it falls on our leader. When Jordan lost people blamed Jordan, not Paxson. Dame is arguably the best scorer of all time, but when it comes to leadership and winning he is not even top 100. He is turning out to be like an AI, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter bust but his fans never will admit it because “LOOK AT HIS STATS!!!”
dame is one of my top 3 favorite players of all time and I even acknowledge his defense is total garbage. The people on this site are clearly beyond reason on this topic. Defending dames defense is just ridiculous. He’s one of the worst defenders in the entire league.
Try finding one single replay where Dame ever locked down anyone in the entire series. CJ’s defense is bad but it’s light years ahead of Dame helplessly watching as he gets screened out of the play every play.
You are absolutely right. Thats why you are as good as gone. You suck as a leader. The leader of the team is the head coach. That would be you. take your troll ass to another team, cause your days are done here…. Leader….. lol.
I’m on a plane to Costa Rica..I was hoping to have the problem of finding a place to watch the games..guess not..I’ll still watch playoffs though but I won’t go out of my way in Costa Rica if it’s not Blazers
for a player who prides himself on “loyalty” I think demanding a trade unless our entire team is blown up (a team which has been remade and hand crafted to compliment his weaknesses no less than 4 times) is extremely disloyal. dame is being a diva. He knew exactly how his Instagram post would be received. He has always been one of my favorite players but if he leaves now he’s dead to me. Loyalty means nothing if you just bail when the going gets tough. Either commit to ending your career as a blazer or go move in with Aldridge and his mom. He literally promised us he wouldn’t leave and now he’s taking his word back and making us beg... unbelievable.
Yeah Stotts totally failed to develop Lillard into a leader you are 100% right. Probably his biggest failure as a coach.
he forced porter jr into a turnover when he was guarding him in the block just last game… but you as the coach are clearly clueless and dont see anything. Its why you suck and are gone.
