Dame getting the chance to play his hometown Warriors in round 2 of the playoffs has to be a dream of his. Beat the Clips in Game 6 and then unleash the beast from Oakland on the unsuspecting Warriors. Anything can happen with the proper motivation and opportunity.
With as "poorly" as Dame has played this series, I keep thinking about how well he generally plays in Oakland. I still don't think we can pull off an upset, but the games might be more pleasing to the eye. Hopefully.
 
They barely squeaked by last night. Dame stinking up the joint for three quarters on both ends of the floor wont fly against Golden State. If he continues this play this will be a quick series.

Dame is still getting lit up by scrubs but man I love seeing Plumlee explode into this assist machine from the high-post.

Hell yea he is.. Feast or Famine. Yesterday was a perfect example. You just dont know what the hell your gonna get with that guy. Cj on the other hand atleast is damn steady

I almost want to bet he wont have a great series next one either. Draymond, Klay, etc are just to good of defenders on a playoff type of atmosphere. Lillard seems to struggle when teams prepare for him and thats what the playoffs are about

Big surprise that you would think that. Of course, he's averaging something like 35 points per game against the Warriors this year, but sure, bet that he's going to struggle now that the Warriors are without Curry.

Playoffs is different. Look what teams do to Lillard in the playoffs when they focus on him. He needs to have a good series in the next one, trust me I WOULD BE HAPPY IF HE DOES
 
The Blazers know, and we the fans know this asterisk crap is bullshit...we earned our place...we fought for it. We have been through so many years of injuries and let downs, the NBA and media can kiss our collective asses....cause we deserve every bit of the success we are seeing

Lillard struggles against really quick defenders, not defenders like Klay.
