Yeah I was mostly comparing the chemistry issue that occurred because they brought in Rod to an already crowded backcourt and he expected to play. Everyone knows that Dame is gonna expect to start when he gets back, whether he can or not.
So give Dame a 3 year max NTMLE?
Yeah I do want to see how that lineup plays. The problem starting it is then both Scoot+Sharpe would be off the bench so can't get them a lot of minutes unless we play Sharpe undersized at SF.
Hey sweetness, you seen Dame play after tearing his Achilles? He’s about to be 35 and returning from one of the most devastating injuries an athlete can suffer. You don’t know what he’s gonna look like. Save your bullshit posts for someone else.
Good call. I think regardless of if you're still mad at Dame for how he left or not we can all agree we miss the years when Dame made our team's games mean more. Yeah he didn't get the team around him to where any of us realists ever thought we were going to win it all but he led our team to the playoffs where games matter and contending to make the playoffs where games matter.
I too love Dame and always will. Arguably the top Blazer of all time. I wasn't happy with his "loyal to the soil" shtick, if only because I learned at a young age to never say never. He ended up looking bad because of it, especially coupling it with his trade demand to Miami. Maybe Portland didn't send him where he wanted but they still did him a solid (way better than Milwaukee treated him). It was a fairly ugly divorce (from Portland) and that's (IMHO) entirely on Dame. But......................from where I'm sitting in the cheap seats, this has to be somewhat of a humbling situation for Dame. I'm sure he's done a lot of reflecting and it wouldn't surprise me if he wishes he hadn't handled things differently. He found out the hard way that he is not indispensable. Too, I think when he's done playing, he'll stay an Oregon guy and continue to be an asset to the community. I may have been disappointed with the Dame situation, but I was never mad at the guy. I blame the clowns running the team for not doing a better job of putting the talent around him that a generational player like him deserved.
Happy Birthday Dame
I don't agree with this. Dame was great to be a robin or supporting player as when LMA was here. But I don't think you can contend with a player like him as your franchise leader. I was very tired of the decade of Dame teams with crap defense and Dame iso offense. I hated the deep threes being jacked early in the shot clock. I don't miss that era at all.
Wait for my book dog….. this chapter will be interesting.
There is no way to cover Dame in one chapter.
I think this chapter will be titled “HAO I GAT DAME BAK!!1”
I’m not so certain we should just give that back. I mean he did ask to go to MIAMI!
SMH
Usually is the case.
Maybe we should start a new thread with a poll about it?
That would be funny. If you wait too long Rasta will probably beat you to it.
