For the poll, I vote None of the above.

Nance jr. But im getting Anfernees first.. as long as we dont trade him this year ill buy it after the trade deadline.
Picked up a few elite rookie cards of his last week too. Looking at it as an investment. I think he is a future all star… if he can just get the minutes.

 

[Bruno]

I hope Lillard wake up against his arc rival Russel Westbrook

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I hope Lillard wake up against his arc rival Russel Westbrook

This has all the makings to be a very bad game for Lillard. If he cannot make three's and space the floor. Westbrook will have a field day.

im thinking Westbrick brings back the old Dame.
Im hoping anyhow.

He started good against Indiana but couldnt sustain. His first two shots were spot on and smooth.

We won't mention that he missed the next 11 straight shots. Ooops! I mentioned it.

lol. Yeah. Just wishful thinking that its a sign he is working through it and maybe he can build the endurance to last linger in each game moving forward, so he is back to Dame time in 3-6 more games.

If he doesn’t get up for Westbrook between the two of them they will need a new set of rims.

Who "recorded 30 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks for Portland."? Nurk?

[Chris Craig]

By we you mean Lakers

 

[Strenuus]

I already know who @EL PRESIDENTE is picking lol.

 

[DDolla]

Only player to always torch the Lakers is Dame. Tonight he will go 3-40 for 6 points. Improvement from last night game of 4 points.

 

[Mr. Robot]

theres no doubt that westbrook will win this game for us

still, i expect blazers to play good game and hopefully dame wont force

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Titan]

I would love the smell of a l*ker loss in the morning

 

[trailblazer18]

Whiteside?

 

[Chris Craig]

Whiteside?

Spoiler

Yep

 

[bobf]

Today I was day dreaming and inaguning that Westbrook taunts Dame about his shooting slump and Dame proceeds to hit 18 straight shots. Wouldn’t that be glorious.

Go Dame! Go Blazers!!

 

[FlashWad]

Too many high expectations for Dame to have a big night tonight.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Spoiler

Nope

I see now, it's a question.

 

[DUB]

LETS GO TRAIL BLAZERS!!!

 

[Labinot41]

Good morning. Go Blazers

 

[riverman]

Get this won headed in the right direction!

 

[DDolla]

Welcome back Dame

 

[VenomXL]

SPLASH

 

[James lamphear]

Dame off a fast start.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame will go off tomorrow against the Lakers. Going to be the snap out of it game.
