As cool as it is to drop 70 in a game. Winning gets me way more giddy.

I’m really not super stoked. I know he’s one of the elite scorers the NBA has ever seen. I knew he was capable of something like this.

I’m tired of being deprived of winning basketball.

We have a healthy Dame, time to make this run.

hehe

Dame is in the MVP conversation right now.

lol

 

[Strenuus]

Steve Nash won two without a ring....Derrick Rose won one without the ring.....Dame is better than both of them

MVP is a regular season award. I'm with you that hes in the convo and giving an example from a diff. Sport.

We won. It's ok to be happy for a little bit. Won't hurt anything.

obviously, it's out of everyone's control. not sure what you're trying to convey. the one person who does have control is very obviously NOT motivated by doing right around the best thing that's ever happened to this franchise. that should bug more people than it seems like it is...

You know what I'm trying to convey. You replied to a comment saying that whining about wasting Dame's prime is misguided because it appears without some kind of fluke he's going to be playing at an exceptionally high level for longer than the worrywarts and woe-is-me crowd want to admit. The Blazers don't control who other teams have and they don't control who they can get ... which is besides the point because we have all this reason to be positive tonight and I'm reading a guy whine essentially a conspiracy theory that our front office isn't doing anything because. checks notes and scratches head, the GM doesn't want to.

I mean, this is ludicrous. What kind of masochist do some people have to be. At least enjoy what you saw and enjoy what might be for a couple of hours. There'll still be plenty of time to flagellate yourself before you go to bed.

First question for press conference was “Chauncey why didn’t you play Shaedon more?” and everyone laughed.

First question of Billups' press conference was (mockingly) asking him why he didn't play Sharpe more. Everyone got a good laugh out of it.

Ain’t it the truth. Other teams win titles. It’s not impossible. It can be done. There are ways to do it. Why does Portland always have to be an also-ran?

 

[OneSport3]

Dame has the most efficient 60+ point game in NBA history and the most efficient 70+ point game in NBA history…within a month. Pure insanity.

Dame goin' for fiddy.

just slightly off... but good call

where were you in 77?

 

[PCmor7]

We won

But did we really win? I don't mean on the scoreboard, but in a totally nebulous, metaphysical sense?

I mean, we wasted one of Dame's best games without it being Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

It's not a wasted game to Dame or any of his teammates I guarantee you.....the scoreboard is all that counts in sports winning spectacularly or ugly...a win is a win

 

[noknobs]

We scored 131 points as a team and the 2nd highest scorer had 13, lol

There are a bunch of fans here that will tell you otherwise, Riv.

You need to wash your crying towel.

Someone said that we'll never see this again but Dame is actually in his prime right now and I don't know how long it will last. He was not in his prime from the time he was 27 until this season because of an injury he didn't get taken care of but this, what we are witnessing, is prime Dame.

He could score 70 again tomorrow. He's not Donovan Mitchell who is a really good player that had a great game with overtime, he's Dame Lillard. No one in the history of this league besides Kobe and Wilt has scored 60+ more times. Our greatest player is fucking bad ass and he will continue to fuck this league up.

Cronin, get him a team that makes sense around him and do it this offseason. Stop wasting our guy!!!

 

[riverman]

That's shitty protocol for what pays the NBA bills.

 

[illmatic99]

i think i found at least one coach worse than chauncey.

 

[Whyachi]

Dame could take out the entire Cobra Kai dojo by himself

what are you talking about? what the fuck is my crying towel? I'm happy tonight....and don't care what a bunch of fans who aren't think about it...it's fun...I've heard all the disgruntled armchair GM takes for decades...I take a game at a time...this was spectacular...no towels needed. Enjoy greatness

 

[OneSport3]

Mitchell needed 10+ more minutes to get his 71.

Dame is getting 80+ with 10 more minutes.

Eenjoy greatness

I was being sarcastic about what other fans were posting, not you nor I, and since I saw you liked one of my replies, I thought you'd figure that out.

Sorry to intrude on your posting. Have a nice life.
