@@HoopVenueThe worst thing is that most people forgot about this game … And i don’t understand why, maybe it’s because he play in a small market, because Dame has everything else in term of being marketable, he is super skilled, from shooting to ball handling to passing, he is good looking, charismatic and super clutch, everybody know what the Dame time celebration .. He is basically a hood version of Curry, with tatoos and who can rap lol, so it’s really a shame that he wasted his career in that trash team i feel like he could have been a Top 30 or even 20 player ever if he was on a good team or big market.
Insane how efficient he was in a loss. Watching this I just felt bad for Dame, dude was as red hot as anyone not named Klay will ever get and it was required just to keep them close
When I first saw that game I thought i was looking at basketball GOD because that’s EXACTLY what dame became. The greatest playoff performance in NBA history… and they still lost I can’t believe dame after putting on such a wasted performance dame didn’t request a trade. All of his teammates sold Horribly to unforgivable levels. If i was dame I would’ve been left
when Covington missed that dunk I lost it. I’ve always been a big Dame fan, and this probably the most frustrating example of him being let down by his teammates
It was ridiculous how absolutely horrendous his teammates had to be to lose despite his unbelievable shot making. They literally couldnt even catch the ball cleanly without losing it out of bounds. Me and my mom were both screaming at the tv "STOP PASSING THE BALL" lol
Bro I was literally driving on my way back from a road trip when this game came on… I was driving and had to keep on glancing over at this game I’ll never forget it
The spinning stepback turn around to tie the game is what did it for me. When it comes to Dame if you look at his numbers... if Curry wasnt in the league we'd porbably consider Dame one of the best players.. and best shooters of all time. Dame not being a top 5 shooter all time is stupid IMO
@@southerncoastproductions7587 39 and 40 % on 10+ 3 pointers per game in what 3-4 seasons now at least? The numbers are good enough. The numbers are top 5 all time. Reggie and Ray Allen went under 40% in years.. even if they were at like 42-43% on 7-8 three pointers. Give me the value of Dame all day every day. The volume. Only talking numbers here. Eye test, they weren’t taking the type of threes that dame takes. Pull up off the screen at the top, side step. Heck nahhh The argument for other guys is mostly era.. and I can agree with that 100% But the only common sense we have is his numbers are better on more difficult attempts 😭
WOWEE!! Oh my goodness! My precious, glorious, voluptuous king Hoop Venue uploaded a video! Now I can talk about Lillard in my NBA twitter gc and sound smart. Need more vids so I can form more different opinions!
Dame is really HIM man. He has so many awesome performances like this(well not this extreme) his team in Portland is never really up to the task tho. I need to see dame win a ring😔
appreciate the dame recognition, dame in miami with jimmy and bam will be legendary. dont think there has been a better big three fit-wise. jimmy and dame are absolute dawgs. finna be scary
As I was watching this as a Nuggets fan, I saw Lillard making shots and was thinking, well this got to stop at one point., and it just kept going until Blazers had no legs anymore...I was kindsa confident Nuggets would win as a better team, but the Lillard barrage just kept coming...
This was such a depleted Nuggets backcourt it makes me sad. When Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo are your starting guards, it's no wonder this happened... Proof that it wasn't just Jokic that helped win Denver's title in 2022-2023. 2020-2021 playoff guards Monte Morris Austin Rivers - No longer on an NBA team Facundo Campazzo - No longer on an NBA team Markus Howard - No longer on an NBA Team Shaquille Harrison - No longer on an NBA Team 2022-2023 playoff guards (Won NBA championship) Jamal Murray Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Bruce Brown Christian Braun Reggie Jackson HUGE difference in talent between these two backcourts.
Great vid HV, quick question who’s a better defender in 2023 Claxton or Embiid? I feel like Tatum wouldn’t have cooked nic in open space like he did Embiid in game 7.
Even if thats true that doesn't necessarily mean Claxtons defense is bettee, hes just more switchable. With that said I think its pretty close. Claxton is a great rim protector and very switchable, but embiid terrorizes other players at the rim however just like all "2-way" stars he can be inconsistent overall because of the massive offensive and defensive burden he carries
@@theblacksoldier2725somehow this gets lost on people every year. Like sure if you wanna take jokic, luka, etc. over embiid because they're much less injury prone then sure whatever. But the insane amount of criticism he gets for playing through a massive injury and *only* looking like a top 10-15 player instead of top 5 and mvp is mind blowing. Not to even mention how bad the team around him is and how doc is a historically bad coach
Where was I? Oh, that's easy - I was watching Dame bend my team over and proceed to do unspeakable things to my team over and over again with no lubracation. Never has a win for my team felt more like a loss.
I'd say Kyrie, he's a more efficient scorer and has better handles, I also like his game off the ball, he moves more than Dame in my opinion Dame has range tho, not gonna lie
Dame's better at getting to the rim and line, a better and more versatile 3 point shooter off the dribble and away from the ball, and a comfortably better playmaker. This is a pretty easy answer to me, as good as Kyrie is!
With comparisons I always like to switch places of the players for a little bit. Dame with the Nets/Mavs would absolutely dominate, while Kyrie with Portland would be so bad.
😂😂😂😂no, it wasn't. Dame just had Austin Rivers and Facu guarding him because of injuries and trades. Every super star looks good when playing lower competition
Is "Dame" ur "pal" from way bck? Or think it sounds "cool" + actually achieve the opp. of its intended affect! P.S. The fake deep voice + dramatic suspense scene music just adds to the mega cringe pulled off in this "OAT" wack af video!! But hey-gotta ⬆️ dem views am I right?! Fkn HERB!
The fact that Dame played this well and the Nuggets still won is noteworthy imo.
Definitely, Nuggets somehow out-offensed this performance.
Jokic was on another level in this series.
especially with guys like rivers and facu at the guard spots
The blazers offense is bad around dame. Nuggets plays good defense
yea no it was a one man show
This was deadass the most clutch game I've EVER seen😭 to hit a shot to end it to OT AND double OT is absolutely nuts
My jaw was on the floor, felt like I was watching a simulation.

This was truly the purest, most clutch, and most determined shooting display I’ve ever seen, and Steph is my favorite player.
Dame might not have the trophy case, but man, one of my favorite guards of all time.
100% agree, was always an inspiration for my own game.
for me the most enjoyable player to watch.
Really hoping he gets some hardware. He'll be forever underrated till he does

Appreciate that!
Austin Rivers was in hell lol
As a nuggets fan this game had be in absolute shambles, never in my life have I seen a player pop off like and I doubt I ever will again
His teammates really let him down that game
Jusuf Nurkic in particular the whole series in foul trouble.
Nuggets perimiter defense in '21 and '22 was just so bad... Rivers was praying against every elite guard...
55 WITH 97% TS??? BRO THERE'S NO WAY!!!
shout out to Michael Malone for not playing the foul game and let Dame cook till the end.
Respect for both Dame and Michael Malone
Agreed excellent case for best offensive performance
appreciate the dame recognition, dame in miami with jimmy and bam will be legendary. dont think there has been a better big three fit-wise. jimmy and dame are absolute dawgs. finna be scary
Damian Lillard is the Barry Sanders of the NBA.
Jaylen Brown your next video Hoop Venue 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
There was a make reaction that I haven't been able to find since the live broadcast. Rivers was questioning and gesticulating in frustration.
i know which one you're talking about, it's after the shot at 0:55. Rivers starts freaking out and flailing his arms lmaoooo
Watch this live , couldn’t believe what I was watching no bs
As I was watching this as a Nuggets fan, I saw Lillard making shots and was thinking, well this got to stop at one point., and it just kept going until Blazers had no legs anymore...I was kindsa confident Nuggets would win as a better team, but the Lillard barrage just kept coming...
That’s a ridiculous game ultimate on fire moments
A 6'2 shot creator carrying while getting sold by his teamates😂😂😂😂
Absolutely absurd, never seen anything like it and may never see it again.
He shows it well at around 10:23 when Covington misses the dunk, throwing his arms down in despiar

Amazing
i think you forgot Sac vs LA Clips
From a team standpoint that'd be the first I point to, just talking individual performance here.
Carmelo Anthony Video?
Frederick Millard G in my comments, it's an honor.
@@HoopVenue Why u saying my whole government man
Dame Dolla a monsta 4 sho
imagine if Miami had Dame in 2023 Finals???? 👀
Dame's offense would fill a ton of voids on that squad, completely changes the dynamic for sure.
“Shoot the lights out the ball” you used that wrong bro, great vid tho
He’s fr 1 good teammate away from a championship, why can’t the blazers office do that smh.
Nah the best offensive game I’ve seen was the clippers vs kings that happened last season
From a team standpoint that'd be the first I point to, just talking individual performance here.
Who's Better Offensively Damian Lillard or Kyrie Irving? Why?
I'd say Kyrie, he's a more efficient scorer and has better handles, I also like his game off the ball, he moves more than Dame in my opinion
Dame has range tho, not gonna lie
Dame because he's a better creator, better offball, and a better scorer.

Can I get a response from Hoop Venue?
ok
Greatest defensive game in nba history?
Shouldn't have gone to double OT. Was fouled on the 3 he made towards the end of the first OT
If his teammates made those timely shots, he could have more assists and less points and maybe won the game..,
Nd still damn playing for them till this day man Go get a ring or at least let us see you with a different team different system 😂😂
Chill out whit the Click beit tittle bro, chill out
