LOL....do you realize how ridiculous it is for you to tell others to "stop with the bullshit"...? when it comes to posts about Dame you're +
...now that Lillard has finally confirmed this "rumor" to be true -- does anyone know if surgery would actually fix this recurring issue??
Not that he cares what I think, but he should get himself fixed, and let the team survive without him and see who can do what. It's the only way they can truly get better, esp if it's an injury that will dog him all year.
report is the injury has dogged him throughout his career. IIRC, he has missed a couple of games, here and there, with it. Does anybody know if it is even correctable with surgery?
Here we go again with this bullshit! NOBODY is “happy” with .500……. But it’s what the talent level on this team is going to deliver at best. If you thought there’d be more wins preseason because of the NEW coach and influx of talent to our bench that is now SO much better than last season, that’s on YOU bro. Setting yourself up for failure once again. You got your new coach, cause you know, that was the problem. Remember it wasn’t the roster. Just because some can accept that the team isn’t going to the finals, doesn’t mean they are happy with it. Just realistic.
Well as you now I’m not a numbers guy. Would love to have an expert on here show us comparisons from last years and this years bench so far, it would be interesting. If we are losing it doesn’t matter right? Remember for a couple years we had like the lowest scoring bench in the league, but that was because our starters killed it. Ant has really stepped up is great to see, and Nas to an extent. Like I said, I’m using the old eye test and how many times I type their names during the game to tell me who is and isn’t playing well. Saw a super slow-mo look at Nance ripping into Nurk towards the end of the game. I wasn’t about to show that on air, but did anybody else catch that? Wow!

also as one gets older these type of injuries start to effect you more and can become chronic, which Dame's may be at now.
4th quarter when Nance dropped a dime to Nurk and he couldn't handle it. Not sure if we showed it on air though. I had 12 cameras to look at last night. That's how I saw it. It was right after the turnover as they were trotting back down to the defensive end.
Too early to judge. Suns started season 8-8 last year and made finals. Not sure why Blazers would go from 42-30 last year to 41-41 this year. Core is the same and players like Simons are improved. We have Powell for whole season this year. Might have CJ and Nurk all year this season, knock on wood.
Maybe you missed the title of this thread? If this is honestly true and Lillard is dealing with another or the same abdominal injury? This year will not be as good as last year.
I think it's weird that during the post game interviews no reporter asks him if his shot is falling when he's practicing or if he's struggling then too. It seems that would be an important thing to know. If they're falling when he's getting them up while practicing then we know it's not a physical thing if not then maybe it is.
Too early to judge? Bro, you made a thread to trade Dame 3 games ago. You wanted to abandon Dame a week into the season lol.
