    What were Dame's numbers in the Houston game 1 and game 2 last year? I could look it up, but I wanna be that guy that is too lazy to look up the stats, but would rather wait longer for a response of someone else doing the work.

    Really, though. What was his stats. lol.

    It has to be hard for Dame to be Batman when the offense is set up to dump it LA after two passes if no one is open. This is on Stotts more than it is on the players. It is HIS offense after all.

    Something like 25/9/7 if you average it out. Not great shooting though.

    San Antonio does if they do it right and they know how to do these things and Chicago in a sign and trade has players that have the contract value and would fir well here

    they don't have the capspace and he would not go there in a sign and trade IMO especially if Davis came here, and New Orleans would not do that trade and should not

    New Orleans gave us one gift already; they won't do it a second time.

    Green is a solid role player. You don't give the max to an undersized role player. That would be awful. I really like Green too, but as a role player.

    He's on his rookie deal and hits restricted free agency. He ain't going anywhere.

    LA is not the best mid range shooter for PFs, and his average is driven down by the high degree of difficulty shots he takes. And the fact that LA has that turn around fade away has hurt us more than it's helped us, because he goes to that shot when he doesn't feel like going inside, and it's low percentage.

    I beg to differ on him going a lot to his fade a way. I only see him do it once or twice a game now... where last year he seemed to do it a lot more regularly.

    It is detrimental for you to be negative throughout the entire playoffs. You are the reverse jinx master! Please keep it up!

    I don't know, I don't think even the powers of my reverse jinx can help the Blazers. Although I haven't tried the "I will turn the TV off at halftime" spell. Perhaps in a way, I am afraid of tainting it's the history of it's potency.

    If LA bolts, he will become one of the most hated players by this fanbase in recent history. LaMarsha will resurface-- when the going gets tough, the weak leave town. He doesn't want that.

    Of course you do! As fans, we want to see as much of the team as possible. I think we all want to see Dame finally out of his slump. The couple game cushion with Conley out may work to our advantage

    Part of me agrees with him as a 4 game wipeout would likely increase the chances of big changes which I think is needed
