What do you think of Dames' Attitude

[MarAzul]

I think if you're gonna talk shit, you better not go 6-20. Something isn't right with dame and he needs the rest.

Hey! You are catching on. 6 and 20 is not good. 1 in 9 is just fucking dumb.

This is around the time Lillard started slumping last year too. He just needs rest.

Dame just needs to play and let his game do the talking from now on. He doesn't need to say anything else about getting passed over for the All-Star game or being disrespected.

Do you think this attitude is giving him problems with coaches around the league and keeping him off the olympic and all star teams?

I think he is a good kid. But...yes there is a but. There are times I do see the attitude you're talking about. If you go back to start of the season when he started off struggling and the writers started questioning him. He become a lil touchy about the subject. As if the maybe had the all the answers and he was unwilling to listen. If this is how he comes across to the coaches, there is no wonder why he is running into his troubles.

But overall I think he is pretty humble and likeable guy. Don't see anything arrogant about him.

Not very debatable. When Dame plays well, but LMA struggles we still generally win. When LMA plays well and Dame struggles, we rarely win.

This is not a debate at all for either player.
Lillard needs Aldridge as much as Aldridge needs Lillard.

You can win games with one of the two, but both are more effective when they're playing off one another.

It's debatable if he is the most important player on this team, though.

I think after last night, it shows who is most important.

Exactly. LMA 37 and 38 pts last two games, but blazers? 0-2.
LMA is our horse. Our engine. Our go to man. He is virtually unstoppable when his outside shot is falling ( seems like it always is these days). He is absolutely vital to this teams success, AND Dame's. But Dame is still the most important man on this team. He is our ball handler, our PG. Our leader and distributor.
What do you think this team would like like in the standings if we have a guy like Bayless, or Felton running this roster? I think we would be on the outside looking in. Trying to climb into playoff contention.
Okay, I am going to go puke now because just the thought of either of those guys running this team?... feeling queezy...

Just because our guards and wings are losing games for us doesn't make them more important than our all star. Aldridge is our MVP. We need him to do the bulk of the heavy lifting throughout the game to get us in a position to win. But when the game is on the line you need a guard or wing to make the big play. That's Dame. Aldridge did his part the last two games but Dame and Wes and Nic didn't do theirs.

I don't know if I should be upset at Nic for continuing to play or the training staff/Stotts for allowing him to play when he is CLEARLY (except for that one anomaly of a game) a detriment to this team. I mean, no wonder teams can come trap Lillard, they don't need to worry about Batum! (I know that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's to prove a point.)
