    Dame's being paid well to do what he loves in the city he loves. What's the problem?

    Well for one thing Dame is not the kind of player who blames everything on everyone else. I love that about him.

    Boston, the #1 team in the East is down 30 to the Knicks. This is a common theme throughout the league, not a problem only in Portland.

    They are down 30 to a team that plays defense. Portland was down 16 points last night to a team that....does not.

    Also, Boston was without Tatum. If Portland didn't have Dame, we would lose by 30 to the Knicks also.

    And this is what can happen when you bring in a coach that emphasizes defense. The Knicks were 23rd in the league in defensive rating last season. Now with pretty much the same personnel, they are 9th in the league in defensive rating.

    Celtics shot 29% from the field. I don’t think Blazers would do that even without Dame. We shot pretty well without Dame in Game 5 vs champs last year.

    From 3:

    Williams 0/4
    Smart 0/7
    Teague 0/2
    Ojeleye 0/6
    Nesmith 0/2
    Green 0/1

    Has this ever happened before?? 29% from field is like a bad college team.

    You feel bad for Dame when you're not talking about how old he is and how he's lost a step. The negativity is pretty consistent but the way you aim it isn't.

    I'm not complaining because my opinions change a lot and I can sometimes have two conflicting opinions at once. That being said, don't feel sorry for Dame or Reggie Miller or anyone who finds a home in the NBA and gets to compete at an all nba level. Also lets see if Dame can bring a championship to this city by the time his career is over like Dirk did in Dallas.

    I can tell you one thing, Dame doesn't feel sorry for himself. I'll guarantee that.

    What are you basing this assessment off of? Lots of baseless assessments on here.

    Defensive efficiency rankings: https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/defensive-efficiency
    Atlanta - 13
    Knicks - 19

    ESPN efficiency rankings: http://www.espn.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats/_/sort/defensiveEff/order/false
    Atlanta - 15
    Knicks - 20

    Boston lost to the Knicks by 30. Portland beat the Atlanta. It's the NBA in 2021.
