    he's not coming back from a broken wrist; he's coming back from a severe hamstring injury. Odds are he'll have a minute restriction and be fairly tentative. I wouldn't expect much from him and yeah, I know, watch the ex-Blazer become an all-star the next 2 games

    a bad shooting game isn't a slump. Dame played an excellent floor game & ran the offense really well, worked really hard on defense. and pulled down 8 rebounds in a game Portland was out-rebounded.

    I know, just said we cant afford Dame to have another or two bad shooting nights, unless Norm, Nurk and CJ going crazy

    This is my thought. He will be rusty as heck for game 5... game 6 may be different so you have to take care of them while they are still "the same".

    sure...that was true before the playoffs started. It sure helped that Dame's bad shooting game was better than Jokic's bad shooting game, and both occurred in the same game. If Dame is shooting bad in game 5 while Jokic is back to hitting everything, game 6 could be an elimination game for Portland

    Man, I've sure felt full more than I've felt hungry watching him. Good enough for me.

    I always kinda thought they win on NBA TV? Unless of course Mr. Scott Foster is the crew chief.
