Clutch

I just watched the highlights on NBA.com and Dame is lucky he didn't an offensive foul on that drive before the first OT. The guy he ran into was clearly outside the circle and he had his feet set. Dame could have VERY easily gotten an offensive foul on that one.

They overlooked the reach where Jennings grabbed Dame's arm just before he crashed into the defender, so I guess it was just one of those last second plays where the refs swallow their whistles and refuse to have a game decided by freethrows.

also looked like he may have travelled on the game winner

I didn't see it until someone pointed it out on Reddit... check out Mo Williams at the top of the shot with the gangsta lean.

Where? I don't see it.

He took three steps, I think, but they're never going to call that.

I love how the Blazers celebrate like they just won a preseason game.

This team is dope. They know how good they are.

It's like in NBA Live when the AI players just go into their walking animations because the game is over. Total cool.

It's barely a travel, but like you said, nobody in the NBA is gonna be called for that.

Not with the game on the line like that.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Not with the game on the line like that.

Even in the first quarter. No starter gets called for that move. Meyers Leonard might, but no starter.

He'd tackle the ref if that happened.

Meyers can't even suplex right.

I wish I could hear the Wheels call on this one....

But sorry that Detriot's 17 fans went home disappointed....

Both of Dame's game winners came with 0.1 sec left.

I love this season, we've had 4-5 games with absolutely horrid reffing in favor of the home team and instead of letting them beat us mentally we win anyway. Lillard is a Fucking boss.

Stern cannot win against God!

It's impossible to shoot a jumpshot with less than .4 (The Derek Fisher rule).

That being the case, if you're the Pistons, why wouldn't you send a big down the floor to take a stab at a long-distance heave + tip in to try to tie it? Yeah, it's a 1%-type play, but to not even make an effort?

I liked this quote from that Detroit video:

"So badass how the Blazers don't celebrate and just walk away."

They have the mentality of a champion so far. It's really quite impressive!

I noticed that also, and that's the part of the shot that impressed me the most. Big shot, big win and just a couple of high fives and off to the locker room. Lillard is such a cool cat he didn't even crack a smile. The whole team follow suit also, no jumping around and screaming or ripping shirts off, just business as usual. I keep thinking this is where we come back to earth or this is where the odds catch up with us and these guys just figure out a way to pull it out again and again. There is an attitude on this whole team right now that I don't think I have ever seen before by more than just a player or two.

You've noticed that too? The guy shot 11 free throws. That's HUGE. That's superstar level.

He shot 12 free throws. He made 11 of them. In the clutch. That's huge.
