Dame and the NBA drug test, what if it turns out that Dame is a Toradol addict?
Do we add an asterisk to his 71?
What a memorable night. Side note, I'm actually surprised there is even usable footage and highlights of the game.
HA! You know what's funny, only a handful of teams broadcast crews are traveling this season...so last game was a perfect example of Houston's crew being back home taking our show and having their announcers talk over our show. Warriors are another one who is doing this. I think only about 6 or 7 teams are traveling their own guys. It's been a strange season in the world of broadcast.That was nice of Houston's broadcasting crew to provide some.
#BAM!
Wasn't that the Blazers plan originally to not travel the crew and do everything from Portland? Didn't they cave when they received to much pushback from the Fans and your wife? #Bam.HA!

Dame at 50 percent is still the best guard we have.remember all the chatter from the 'trade-Dame' crowd how it wasn't just the injury last season; Dame was aging out and on the downhill slope, Every season was going to be a little worse for him.

the only blemish this year is turnovers. He did have batches of turnovers early in the season but he has improved quite a bit. I suspect he was adjusting to a new role in a new offense. He averaged nearly 4 turnovers/game in October & November; 3.2 in December; and 2.9 (his average) in January/February
But he's pretty clearly having by far his best season at 32. Yes, he will eventually start to decline. But the benchmarks he'll be declining from with be elite benchmarks. And the decline might not start for a couple of seasons
I really don't care about what justifications people use to advocate trading Dame. I think they are all bogus. For me, the best thing about watching the Blazers is watching Dame perform in a Blazer uniform
