Are Lillard and the Blazers serious title contenders?

NO
Nope
No
The disrespect for dame... he been balling since day 1 in the league.
Yea but you have to win to get a seat at that table. If he gets past next round and puts up a fight against warriors or Houston then he gets that respect he wants.
@@tevinjones4759Dame has done more with less talent than any playing in the NBA. Context matters. He wins with ZERO All-Stars on his team. *crickets* Keep sleepin.
He is a top 7 player in the NBA
@@kingrobinho777So you only have 2 PGs in your top 7? Harden, Giannis, Durant, LeBron, AD, Curry, and Dame.
@@ellea3344 Replace AD with KD and yeah. Kawhi, Kyrie, and AD are the other 3 in the top 10.
Russ:saw it as russ vs dame
Dame:saw it as blazers vs thunder
I could not have said it any better. Excellent, my friend. Wish I could hit like 1000 times.
I told my brother n law russ wants to be the reason why they win onstead of just a part , he was always going try make about him vs dame and thats why he gone fishing..
100% facts
🎯 That’s been his problem since KD was in the roster. Imagine? Lol Russ thinking he was a #1 over KD 😂😂😂
LeeTravius Mckay Yep!
Russ had his "next questions" cued up before Dame's 37-foot shot swished through the hoop.
When you make 8/12 it ain’t a bad shot
rest of the NBA... 16% on 30+ shots over 30ft. Let if fly Logo Lillard.
Okc fan and I agree anyone else it's bad but lillard was on fire so like westbrook says why not. Lol
@@kevinguzman3775 You gotta check Steph from there as well.
Right? No shot that goes in is a bad one and if you watched his postgame he explicitly says his shooting coach was encouraging him to practice them and he felt it was a "comfortable range" so maybe it's a bad shot for Paul George because he wouldn't be comfortable from that distance but for lillard it's his highest percentage shot
@@MrImaWizard okay follow my logic here. A good shot is one that you would take every single time right? Like a curry opened 3 in the corner is a good shot right? Curry would take an open corner 3 50 times a game if it was there. Would lillard shoot that shot every chance he got? He can get that shot anytime he wants correct? If it was a good shot he would take it 15 times a game because he can get that anytime he wants. It was a bad shot that he just happened to make. He was in a zone and hit a bad shot.
Also if a make is a good shot is a miss bad then? So that 37 footer make is a better shot than a missed wide open dunk??? No that's not correct lol. He made a bad shot because he's a killer who's clutch but still a bad shot.
Dame just got billy Donovan and Sam presti fired every role player on OKC traded and Westbrook and pg doubting their manhood with that cold blooded shot
LeeTravius Mckay Lookin to make active members moderators+ I know 1000% what KD is doing after this season! facebook.com/groups/967348520070287/
Hahahahaha
Your post is 100% correct, accurate, on the money. Presti isn't bringing in role players who are ready. Donovan does not have a system. Russ and Paul have their heads down, and ready for therapy.
Good. Donovan should have been fired.
presti won't be fired. He is a great GM. KD and Harden were out of his control. He also drafted those 3, serge ibaka, reggie jackson, and eric bledsoe. Also flipped trash melo for shroeder. He is a great GM. can't do anything about coach donovan never making adjustments and russ just playing selfishly.
Who does Jason Whitlock think he’s fooling with that hair 👀🤦🏻♂️😂
Jim Jackson is articulate and well thought out.
We need more of him, less of the 'the real ones'
💯
I was thinking we need less Jason ....
We all can put on 4 da B💰G G. Btw he 40+ still good representation tho.
@@midnighttrucker19 facts idk why they keep bringing them on these shows. they really don't add much to anything
He literally said Larry Bird wasn't a transformational player and then doubled down on that historically bad take when he was getting roasted for it. That wasn't very well thought out.
"I was just waving goodbye to them" just like that lol
🖐 That‘s all you had say.
That shot is called "The Last Word"
🐰 *WAN6T ME? LO9OK, I MASTB**ATE NAK3ED,снеск5 снann8el* ♥️♥️
"Just like that it is all over"
Lol Lillard waving goodbye 👋 to his playoff spot
It's not a bad shot. He was either gonna drive against Paul George, who's a great defender and has 6 inches on him, or he was gonna stand back and take an open shot where he hits 39%. He respected Paul George by staying out. Paul George didn't respect that Dame hit 30+ footers TWICE BEFORE in the SAME GAME.
Terrible defense!! I knew he was gonna make that shot. It was hardly no time left on the clock. He should have been up on him
Horrible shot anyone else in the world but yesterday, For Dame that was the dagger like this is for my doubters not just PG and Russ.
@@MSotelo503 if curry had the ball george would have been closer. he should have guarded dame just like he was guarding curry in that situation.
@@ubadman1 Yep!!!
Or you could run a play ..
Dame been at the table, and been having the respect from real hoopers.
This is why PG decided to stay with Russ so he wouldn't be held accountable if they lost. Russ still got smoked by Dame all series.
RealNPoetic his name is Lol George now
RealNPoetic - when it comes to Paul George I will always remember the quote from Kobe “it takes a special player to be a laker”
Now PG a clipper
How good is it that everybody is not reporting on lebron for once lol..
It would be better if you didnt bring him up.
Yet you bring it up
This is great for the future stars of the NBA. LeBron's time is coming to an end. Glad to see Giannis & Dame get some of the conversation geared toward their talents.
I miss Lebron
oh no you just did!😈🤫
Westbrook has to change his crazy playing style
Can't change the stripes on a zebra
Well said
Manny Teixeira to be fair when Westbrook was young they all told him he wouldn’t make even make his high school team so the sad part is him playing the way he plays is why he’s in the nba and some guys never make the adjustments because that’s all they know but in my opinion it’s Westbrook works very hard and he tries to compete not everyone built to win rings
Manny Teixeira no billy Donovan needs to learn how to use players correctly. Morris only had 3 minutes that game. That’s another 3 pt shooter okc could’ve used but instead sat there not being used.
Keith Dennis they need to fire the coach and give him a coach that can hold him accountable for his game 👏🏾
That was not a bad shot for Dame. Keep in mind he had 47 POINTS at the time he was HOT! Paul George is taller and it did not matter. A shooter is ALWAYS going to win over a defender. From 37 feet Dame hits at 39%. That is a regular night. He was HOT and the game was tied. He had nothing to lose. You gone get this work
Dame was already on that level. This said more about why Westbrook doesn't belong at the table.
This is why players hate the media. Dame has been respected in the league for years from EVERYONE.
No he hasn't. Lol
William McAuley not top 3 PG respected
Shidd kobe been said dude was serious prime kobe said dat
Andrey Smith Respect isn’t a ranking. That’s the media trying to sound smart and knowledgeable. ESPN and FS1 should stop letting these highlight box score experts talk about the game if that’s all they bring. It’s been dame time for awhile. The name wasn’t given last night,
EVERYONE? Westbrook been disrespecting him from years. And I doubt many players have been voting him into the All-Star game...
If Portland gets a player like Siakim, its over.
Antonio Venegas oh indeed
Honestly. We just need like one more piece that's solid every night and we are up there. God I hope it turns out good
Antonio Venegas They have Aminu...dont disrespect him. He might not be as good as siakim but aminu holds his own
Daniel Boston aminu been shooting better lately....but they need a guy who could be a legit 3-and-D threat every night and can be that 3rd scorer on a nightly basis. Harkless and cuttin it chief
Gee Andrezzi it's tough because it's not like they're bad but their inconsistency kills us. Maybe we just need a straight hooper like Lou will or a pit bull like montrezl Harrell. I think we've got the star power
Kyrie is also at that table sir. Lillard just took Westbrook’s seat at that table.
FACTS
Anthony Broaddus Kyrie ain’t on Dame’s level
Kyle Wilson your right he’s a step above because he already has a ring
@@kylewilson2819 Kyrie hit a go ahead 3 to win the Finals. STOP.
Korey Paul with a minute left. Hardly a game winner. And rings aren’t everything. Or is Robert Horry better than Barkley?
He shot 39.2% from beyond 30ft during the regular season.(He shot a higher % beyond 30ft than he shot at the arc) He made 8/12 beyond 30ft in the series. In game 1 he was 4/4 beyond 30ft. In game 5, he was 4/6 beyond 30ft. He had also drained a shot from that exact spot earlier in the game, and it was also over Paul George.
So how is that a bad shot again? League average is 33.5% from 3. He makes 30ft+ shots at a rate that is considered elite by any standard. Again, he's literally a better shooter from that range than he is closer to the arc. You have to be an idiot to claim that's a bad shot for him.
@officialJashawn I am. He literally shoots a higher % from 32' back than he does at 21'. So if 21' is a good shot at 38%, what does that make a 37' at 39.2%? If that's not a better shot, you're a fool.
Surprised they didn't say Kawhi would be a good fit. Guy is composed, not too ball dominant, and wants to win. Sure he won't mind Portland and Dame can still be the face of the team.
The money bro Portlant can’t afford him
@Mike ferrari Ferrari I meant more like he'll be the best player and Dame will stay the face of the franchise regardless.
@@omaidolor8929 Trades? I mean Love has a very expensive contract too and he's older and more injury prone, so bringing Love up was dumb if you're going for something "realistic". They're both expensive might as well go for Kawhi. Also the guy turned down big money that SA would offer, I'm sure Portland would get rid of some role players for him and also Jusuf. Dame, CJ, and Kawhi sounds like a good fit and pretty good for a title run especially if KD leaves.
Kawhi doesn’t want to live in Portland Oregon lol
@@Geeandrezzi I wouldn't either but he's from like the suburbs or whatever. He can always have a home in LA or whatever anyway. I'm just surprised they didn't bring it up as a good "what-if". Basketball wise I think he fits their mentality and he just wants to win. If he didn't want to just go to LA I think it'd be a great fit.
Russ needs Mark Jackson !! He needs a calm preacher coach.
He needs to do like Wade and step aside and let Paul Goerge run the show
H e need a 😎✔ not A pastor. H
Its possible 4 him 2 do D ✔N2
max payne best comment I’ve seen
Westbrook is trash no coach can fix a 30 year old high volume Inefficient shooter
Russ need to stop trying to shoot like he's Curry.
I love Lillard but part of why I like him is cause of how underrated he was
He won’t be underrated anymore!!
Now everyone else wants him 😂😂
People who keep saying that's a bad shot. Dame shoots 39% from there, same as Paul shoots from 3. How is that a bad shot then? You wrong, Ric.
PG only said that cause Dame shot it in his face. We all saw what happened; Dame set him up to fail. What else could he say? Lol
@@saabguy4787 How about not saying anything at all? At least he wouldn't look like a salty loser.
justjoshin2006
It technically is a bad shot on paper.
When he can take it to the hoop and create a shot for himself or a dish out or something in the time he had.
But he made it, and good for him on that.
@@Daslickflip exactly. because if he missed, people would be saying he should've drove to the basket. but it's a bad shot for anyone else in the league. it's not a bad shot for Dame, Steph and maybe Harden (maybe)
@@Daslickflip With that said; Dame had something to prove. He was not going to pass the ball, or drive to the hoop. He had every intention of taking that shot. Overlooking that was PGs first mistake, his second was not playing better defense.
They keep blaming Westbrook and not blaming the coach that set up the plays for the team
Kevin love is gonna make the blazers contenders 😂😂 wtf are whitlock's milkshakes spiked with?
Whitlock just said Paul George is a catch and shoot player🤦🏽♂️....
Smh. That's so far from the truth.
Atl.slimee he said more of which isn’t wrong PG is an amazing spot up shooter and plays better off ball than constantly being on ball. Basically I look at PG as Klay with better D and better on ball options but similar styles
@@sebastianholinaty6560 they probably the same on D. PG been one of my favorite underrated players for a minute though. he's more like a Klay with better ball handling and more athletic. back in 2k11 days I would do fantasy with CP3, PG, Jrue, and Roy Hibbert. team was fire
Lavar “Snacks”
It’s kinda true. He can create but not constantly tho. He really not far off with that statement
That was a great game, all the players gave it their all and played great offense and defense on both sides, including Westbrook.
My hat goes off to the coaches, players, refs (for letting them play), fans, camera men, and the NBA for one of the best games yet, down to the last second and tied, either team could have won, and neither outplayed the other, they both gave it their all!
Much Props, especially after all of the other blowouts that day.
😂 DimWhitlock dropped “Kevin Love” and thought he put out revolutionary basketball knowledge that would earn Jim Jack’s & Marcellus’ oohhh’s & awww’s!😂... Nahh, go back to Sea World, cuz🙃🤫💯
Faxlock been right about Westbrick all along.
Everybody mad at Russ I'm mad at PG13 for letting Lillard get that shot off smh 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lol It was a bad shot 😂😂😂😂 I was dying
Best blazer since Clyde the Glide
BRoy sends his regards.
Stacey E Roy could have been but he was cheated out of the chance; hopefully Lillard stays healthy.
This is all about Dame. He NEEDED this. After getting swept by a late seed Pelicans team without Boogie? But Russ needed it too.
Dame right now 3rd best PG in NBA behind Curry and Kyrie. If you aren’t count Harden as a PG.
Truu..gotta throw OG CP3 in there but I feel ya Dame top 3 !
Dame > Kyrie Just ask Bostons #1 fan boy Bill Simons.
I would put dame above kyrie
Te Dogg, Dame is above Kyrie. That’s the top 3, then people can argue Kemba or Russ.
No hes not
Dame is a beast, most of the country don't get to see his late night west coast games,
he's ice cold, like a healthy younger version of Derrick Rose in a way, but even better at his point.
but I don't trust the rest of his team to do much deep into the playoffs, same with Giannis & his bucks squad.
Rainy city curse remains. OKC wont win a championship till Seattle gets the Sonics back, sorry Russ.
Steven Adams is not serious about the winning part of the gm
Salute to the panel I'm from the bay I'm proud Damien Leonard all of us from the Bay Oakland / SF CA
Dame is a great player. No doubt about it but he's at Brandon Roy status now. He's a great player and has great moments but he's got alot of road to travel. This is the same conversation they had about Gary Payton back in the day.
D. Felix Photo he’s better than Brandon Roy. And I think Portland would rather get Dame than not have Roy go down
@@glyle2504 idk if he's better than Roy. Brandon was hurt so early it was hard to gauge his potential. If they somehow have had him, Lilard, CJ and Oden all healthy they would have be a force
Good or bad that shot was a killer. Dame got nothing to loose, he misses its OT. Game is tied so not much pressure, I dont think he'd take that shot if they're down by 1 or 2pts. Respect to Dame, taking that shot with confidence
Lillards always been a baller the heck he is top 10 hands down currently even besides wat happen wit this playoff w. He has always been undermine cuz he ain't loud
I love seeing a humble superstar finally get his due.
Russ is a great athlete, his IQ and jumper need improvement simple... PG not an alpha so he basically replaced KD🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️.
Wook 87 pg ain’t even close to kd the thunder were 1 game away from the finals with kd and they’ve gotten out in the first round with pg
@@nickcongdon5847 replaced him far as having a beta mentality that's all.
i believe that russ has the capability to contribute on a championship team but he needs to get priorities straight: does he want stats or rings?? Coz I swear he's too obsessed with the former
Dude, in a small gym last night, outside Oslo, Norway we were talking about Damien Lillard! This is world wide!
If anyone is saying Dame is elite an Russ isn’t is dumb... Dame been one of my faves since year one... Russ is still elite.
No. Russ just had THE WORST shooting/volume season our of 17,000 instances of player seasons in recorded NBA History.
Uhhh... he also averaged 3 triple double years straight... bad volume wateva he is an elite player.
There’s probably no argument that’s not kinda stupid. 🤷🏾♂️
Jay Human He's gone fishing is what he is... 3rd season in a row. He's a loser. PEROID.
That is true, at this rate he’ll only be in the NBA hall of fame for all his accomplishments... as a loser...
☹️☹️☹️ an Elite loser but a loser Dame in the same boat Charles Barkley, tmac, Vince, iverson, James Harden, Chris Paul, Carmelo...
unless the pull it off in the future... and Russ still be Elite.
Jay Human No. He will go down as THE WORST shooter in NBA history.
Man. That was a good debate. Lots of good points made.
The hate for Dame is so real smh...
I don't get to see too many Blazers games because its tough to follow west teams in the east. But Lillard has been like this for years. He was hitting 30+ footers all game -they should have worked harder to take the ball out of his hands because he's one of the few players where that wasn't a "bad shot".
I need Stephen Jackson back on the show.
RD_ The1 facts
He looks like kid cudi just a lil
Don’t downplay the shot stop.
People will remember the shot Dame hit! Stop it.
People in basketball will remember it. Only 6 times this has happened
Everyone will forget this when the Blazers are swept by Warriors or Rockets...
DynastyKit nah this a monumental shot
People will now remember it as the shot that Sent the thunder into rebuild mode
Not all great players win a title? I don't know where this nes topic came from if you don't win a title all your accomplishments are voided. I don't agree with that and this is something new the media speak as if all great players must be champions to validate their careers. BS. Kobe is a champion and when they speak of top 5 players they never mention him. The sports media is full of it.
Preach
Top 10 tho
Why is Jim Jackson arguing with Jason "relish the opportunity to put another brother down" Whitlock?? Im sure, hands down, Jim Jackson has more contacts/experience in an NBA Locker room... js
If russ played smart he wouldn't have to play hard
Huh?
As hard? *pause*
"If it was GW it would ne different" bruh the cowgirls and OCK are on the same level bruh ... If OBJ caught that on NE it would be different
Witlock said if they get Kevin Love Portland would be contenders. He need to stay off of whatever he's smoking.
Tommy McCardell seriously kevin love is trash, one dimensional player
I powered off my phone when Shitlock said Kevin Love
I gotta agree, a team with CJ, Dame, Nurkic, and Draymond is definitely a contender.
drkdze - Nurkic isn’t playing, he’s injured
Mike King next year smart one
OKC needs to move on from Donovan. Russ is a selfish player who doesn't pass and makes his teammates worse.
Donovan can't work around that.
Yes the dude who avg 10 apg for 4 straight years doesnt pass 💀
@@jeremiahgreenwood7505 Russ has mastered the triple double, no doubt. But the team is at the bottom of number of passes and rebounds.
There a great difference between passing to up your assists and passing to develop plays. If Russ doesn't see the immediate assist, he's not looking for the pass. That's not team basketball.
He averages a triple double three years and he doesn't pass. Do you even know the words that you just spoke?
@@theernalrealestategroupatk707 He passes when it suits HIM. Not the team or the scheme. But hey, some folks are okay with Russ putting personal stats over team success.
People make excuses for Russ despite the team being among the lowest in passes and rebounds, largely due to Russ's pursuit of the 3D.
Last year, everyone blamed Melo. Now people are starting to Blame Steven Adams.
I will never be because of Russ. Okay.
Russ shooting and turnovers has always been his demons. He passes but he can never get turnovers and shooting down and it kills the team everytime. Now when it comes to coaching. Russ not listening to no coaches at all lol. Russ does his own thing.
Wacklock is salty that his guests don't want to trash Russ like he does.
@dirt232323 He's not actually trash. He doesn't have a high hoop IQ, isn't coachable, I wouldn't want to play along side him. But yet and still I wouldn't say he's trash. Talented player who refused to evolve. Now there's this media frenzy to trash him.
Whitlock why, Westbrook is a superstar who got beat by a nother superstar Westbrook quit man Portland won last night not Dame by him self
I have to say, you are wrong. I am not a big NBA guy but I will forever remember this shot. I get where he is coming from but that was an amazing shot. Also that so called "bad shot" was calculated and this shot was also a statement in his confidence in his team to win in overtime if he would have missed it to not give OKC another chance at a shot to win, that's calculated not bad. Common guys, you know this.
And its lillard as a big nba fan, Hes not the guy you wanna give space in that situation hes hit countless buzzer beaters like that so it def wasnt a bad shot
Dame has been better than Russ the last few years. People are just blinded by Russ' stat padding.
chiefs816kc
I get what you're saying but it's kind of hard to just ignore HISTORIC greatness just because another guy doesn't get his due.
If portland wins this year championship ooh boy idk what these people would say
WESTBRICK HAS BEEN A LAUGHINGSTOCK SINCE HE TOOK 13 STEPS AND FORGOT TO DRIBBLE VS GOLDEN STATE IN 2017 😂😂
Not sure how many steps it was? But he sure was going for a stroll to the moon that game. That was definitely the funniest thing I have seen in the history of the NBA. I automatically thought, drug test westbrick because that isn't normal behavior!
@@ThomasAntoniusOlsenJr.333 LOL. I been an NBA fan since I was 10, I loved Baseball first. Never seen a player draw a blank like that in my life.
No one's gonna mention whitlock magically getting his hair back?
Lillard
Mcullum
Nurkic
Kwhai team fits his.personality
Would be insane..not happening though
Kristaps Porzingis would be a beautiful player to add. Jokic as well but he’ll cost too much
Westbrook got Ben Simmons jumper with curry mentality
Don't disrespect Simmons shot like that.
Wonder if people are aware you can like both Westbrook and Lillard.
Max 117 THANK YOU!
Man, Westbrook had a great game last night... Everybody's exaggerating and if OKC woulda win, they'd be praising Russ. That being said, Russ should either move to the 2 OR OKC should get spot up 3 pt shooters, and run the LeBron James system with Russ playing LeBron
The Sonuvman no he trash and take rebounds away from teammates
Only till the next game, Russ will never be a great player; only a average regular season player, and he's taking PG down with him. PG made his decision to stay in OKC just like the defense he played on Dame; he didn't have a clue.
Please don't mention Russ and Labron in the same sentence. Russ will never be a great player. Great players win in the playoffs. Lol
@@saabguy4787 Russ would do well running the LeBron system. Drive to the basket and either get fouled or kick it to a REAL 3 point shooter waiting on 3 point line. I'm talking about the SYSTEM not the man.
@@thesonuvman333 👍👍
Why do you want to bad mouth Russell? Jason Whitlock you just want to bad mouth Russell. Too me Damian Lillard Has always been a great shooter.
Westbrook legend is over, failed to get a ring again. Stat chaser not a champion for obvious reasons.
This man said Kevin Love with a straight face lol
Jason Fatlock at it again. Russ knows he did not play his best, but Fatlock obviously didn't notice the level of shooting around Russ. OKC is not a very good team because they do not have shooting on the offensive end. The play great defense, but they have too many lulls where they cannot make a shot. That's why OKC got bounced. It's not just Russell Westbrook, it's the entire team.
Dame has always been in that elite group its just that his team wasn't as good as the other teams.
Jrue holiday still got Dame by the nuts like y'all forgot
Dame has always been a beast. Just because the media doesn't cover his highlights as much as everyone else means nothing
"'Elite Championship contenders have never wanted to come to Portland"
Total lie. That's BS. Portland attracted and signed a fellow by the name of Scottie Pippen. You may have heard of him. 3 seasons before retiring in Chicago.
Pippen led Portland to a Western Confrence Finals that went 7 games in Year 2000. Played like a man possessed at times, carried the team to victory throughout the playoffs.
Loved Scottie Pippen. Still do.
Name another one.
Who else bruh...legit question
JD, I'm a Blazer fan and here's the truth... sadly, nobody of significance has EVER, honestly, WANTED to come to Portland. Marcellus is correct in his assessment of the problem with Portland's "small" market. Additionally, you're either not a Blazer fan or not knowledgeable of the facts because your claim is incorrect, and here's why... Pippen NEVER signed a contract with the Trail Blazers.
From the Associated Press -
"In a deal that had been rumored for days, the six-time NBA champion and seven-time All-Star was traded to Portland (from Houston) on Saturday (Oct. 2, 1999) for Kelvin Cato, Stacey Augmon, Walt Williams, Ed Gray, Brian Shaw and Carlos Rogers. ... Pippen, 34, signed a five-year, $67 million contract with the Rockets before the lockout-shorted 1999 season began."
Pippen came came to Portland via TRADE!
@@joshuagpeterson. Okay, do you have a point to make?Pip wore a Portland Trail Blazer uniform for three seasons. All I care about. BTW I was a season ticket holder when Pip arrived in town. Awesome year. Like having a General on the court. It was Scottie's team.
@@tonybryant7823 Clyde Drexler. Next question?
I might've exploded when Jason said Kevin Love.
Slow down! All this will mean SH*T unless they beat the Warriors AND the chip!!! Stop it! Cause when they lose next round, y'all will forget about Dame! Relax!
Hi Tops 2 Hi Hats thank you. So much. Ppl get so ahead of themselves.
I like the Kevin Love addition
It wasn't a bad shot. He was 8-12 from 30+. George just didn't watch the film.
Dame: I'm going to shoot from 37, for series
Russ: Next Question
in reality what dame did last night wouldn't have been possible if russ had just been slightly less terrible. the game was wrapped up and russ almost single handedly handed it back to portland. russ's fall had just as much to do with it as dame's rise.
Shot was on a potential DPOY!
This shot was one of the coldest game winners any sport all time
I hate to point out the stat line cause Dame didn’t approach that game looking to stuff the all star or MVP ballot like Westbrook sees every game, but the fact that Dame absolutely demolished Russ on the counting stats is set aside by the fact that he was just playing to see his team win rather than increase his star status.
GREAT DISCUSSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Jackson b easy on the okc hate. Russ Nd pg are both better than you ever were
Smh. I can’t believe I agree with Whitlock. Westbrook is fried. PG was 14/20. 70 percent to remind you guys. Westbrook. Didn’t even let the man touch the ball
Dame Dolla has a seat at that table now. Elite PG ✊🏾👑
Last night said more about Lillard. This was his best series and it established him as one of the top tier point guards with steph and Kyrie. Westbrook's performance is no surprise because the same things happened when OKC blew that 3-1 lead to the warriors.
Congress D.Lillard on 6 total 50 + point games and ur loyalty to stay wit 1 franchise if u win or lose. RESPECT. CALI GROWN OUT.
