Who do you give the game ball to for the SEASON?

[Strenuus]

I think this could be an interesting discussion.

Dame deserves it for EVERYTHING he did.

CJ for improving his game so much.

Harkless for wading through the bench for a few months and then showing up like a boss.

Plums for being a point/center and his improved FT shooting

Aminu for his production (albeit inconsistent)

Maybe even Terry Stotts? The guy made key adjustments throughout the season and did a damn good job with finding quality rotations.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Man I don't wanna have to pick between my boyz!

 

[B-Roy]

Everyone if you could, but you obviously have to give it to Dame.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Olshey and Stotts.

DISCUSSION TIME

*grabs popcorn*

 

[THE HCP]

Ed Davis....love that guy and what he has brought our team!

 

[BlayZa]

CJ - got most improved and we and we pretty much have the 2nd best backcourt in the league
we already had 1 half of it, but CJ really made it click this season.

 

[PDXFonz]

I voted CJ because I think his emergence took a lot of pressure off of Dame. Dame would have faced an entirely different task without CJ.

You could make a valid argument for Dame because of his leadership, but at the end of the day you can only lead those willing to follow. Gotta give it up to the guys who bought into what Lillard said and put in the hard work to achieve what they did.

Give it to the team. They played as a team, put in work as a team, and developed a really fun to watch team oriented culture. Paul and neil decided fuck these guys like lamarsha that arent down with rip city from day one and asked people do you want tl play for the portland trail blazers? We gave these guys who were coasting through the league a sense of pride. Dame loves rip city, he spouts off our team name with pride. He slips it into his silly commercial raps. We finally have a team that the most loyal fan base in the NBA deserves.

 

[H.C.]

The Blazer Dancers completely deserve the game ball imo.

 

[illmatic99]

Answer is Dame. You don't have any of the other guys stepping into their roles without Dame.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ed Davis....love that guy and what he has brought our team!

Definitely my favorite new guy; I was stoked as hell when we acquired him and he didn't disappoint!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I'm gonna give it to Dame this year but I bet next year CJ will be the better player; he's special too.

They can have both of my game balls

 

[crandc]

Got to be Dame. Could make a case for team, easily.

 

[BigGameDamian]

You give the game ball to another player than Dame it's a slap in the face. He is our franchise player and the player that the Blazers are committed to.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I'm gonna give it to Dame this year but I bet next year CJ will be the better player; he's special too.

If that's the case and we have both Dame and C.J. this could be another Lillard/Aldridge scenario. Do you like people even friends stepping on your feet at work?

 

[Strenuus]

Sounds like you're falling in love with players.

You're thinking gamecock.

 

[riverman]

I give the game ball for the season to the coach ...he was the voice of reason and calm and never waivered win or lose trusting these guys all year....great coaching job and a pinnacle of leadership. Portland is so lucky considering the revolving coaches door around the league..stability starts at the top

Olshey and Stotts.
