Dame only needs 2 points to tie Geoff Petrie at #7 on the all time Blazer scoring list. 273 behind Jim Paxson 337 behind Jerome Kersey This will be Dame’s 431st game. Petrie had 446, Paxson 627 and Kersey 831.
It’s going to take a couple more seasons, but I say we throw a party when Dame scores his 12,563rd career point.
Only 2 points behind Petrie. That'll be done tonight against the Pelicans. 273 points behind Paxson. At his current rate of 25 ppg, that should take him 11 games - Toronto, Feb 2. If Dame plays in all of the remaining 41 games, and continues to average 25 ppg, he should end the year with 10,755 points. #4 on the all time scoring list. Nice!
CJ currently has 4,990 career points. At his current pace of 21.6 ppg, it should take him 192 games to catch Rasheed. That's another 2.5 years. Right about the end of the 2019-20 season. CJ is signed thru the 2020-21 season. He definitely has a good shot.
Man, it sucks seeing so many of our best players on other teams' uniforms. Terry Porter in a MIN uniform just looks so wrong, Hard to believe he played 7 more full seasons after leaving POR. He was still a productive player in his late 30s. That's the advantage of having a game that doesn't rely on freakish athleticism. At least Kersey isn't wearing a SEA, or worse, and LAL jersey. BNM
5 more years or so? Long time in this league to stay with any team. He would be very special if that were to happen.
