Dame’s been chilling this game and then ofc he does that
That’s why Milwaukee pays him the big bucks.
The joy of not playing for Doc
HOW could we bottle this 😭
I love Dame but I would take your ring over having him back (yes, I know he came after)
Jon Horst belongs in Guantanamo
Underrated comment
This season is genuinely healing my soul.
I’m not even a Blazer’s fan and it’s healing my soul. Portland deserves this and we’re all happier when it’s Dame time
Man that B Roy tag enough to make a grown man cry I’m happy you’re happy unc
I miss The Natural. Dude was a special player
On the court making up for off the court subprime owner
Still waiting to see if my charity gets to do a 50:50 raffle this year 🤪
subprime owner
aha!
Loving it for yall! Keep taking good care of Jrue and Timelord!
Dame belongs in that jersey
That break up w your soul mate but yall years later run into each other and try again and its perfection restored 🥺
Dude just doesn’t know how to miss at the buzzer
We need to run plays that waste the entire shot clock and try to get Dame buzzer beaters that way. He’ll never miss!
Shot clock cheese
That’s a bad shot
My favorite quote of all time. You could taste the salt through the TV
He wasn’t wrong tho, it’s a bad shot for all but 2 people. Unfortunately for them, Dame is one of em
Dame is the best shooter ever from 32 ft or further statistically plus he’s known for buzzer beaters. His nick names are Logo Lillard and Dame Time. Did PG check the scouting report.
I’d be salty too tbf
I don’t think it was salt. It was a bad shot. Lillard is just good enough to be able to hit bad shots.
“Bad shot” is subjective. When a player has a consistently high percentage for a particular shot, then it’s a good shot to take.
I remember a Steve Kerr interview where he said he had a lightbulb moment where he saw Steph make a ridiculous “bad shot”, and then he realized it wasn’t a bad shot because Steph took it.
Lillard isn’t hitting that at a higher than average 3 point %. That’s a very difficult shot that Lillard is better than most at. It’s still not a good shot. In most scenarios he misses that and then you wouldn’t be here, talking about why that’s actually a good shot.
Not a bad shot for Dame. His % from 35 ft is almost 100%
Over 2 defenders, so casual
DAME TIME
30 footers over 1 defender weren’t enough for him, he had to level up and shoot over 2-3
It’s like he is doing it EVERY game
The same with the buzzer beater last game
Not much in the NBA is funner to watch than Dame Time from 25+ feet.
Except Dame from 30+ feet.
I live in Utah and went to Weber State University while he was playing there. He had an incredible senior season, but Weber is a no-name basketball college and the very few NBA-caliber players that have ever came from there just… sucked. Dillon Jones lately, Harold Arcineaux and Eddie Gill going back. It’s the Big Sky conference, they’re playing Idaho and Montana State.
And even though I knew he was special, part of me was like “Oh fuck, Portland picked him SIXTH??” - because he was a senior from said no-name school, and that draft was absolutely loaded with blue chip prospects from Kentucky, UNC, Duke, UConn, etc.
Never been more happy to have my instincts proved wrong multiple times. Cause I didn’t think he had this kind of thing in him still. Even if his stats aren’t gonna jump off the page this year, it’s obvious what he means there. Love it, love Dame Time.
He was the fourth of only six players to be unanimously voted Rookie of the Year. There’s Ralph Sampson, David Robinson, Blake Griffin, Damian Lillard, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Victor Wembanyama.
Unanimously won it over Anthony Davis no less
That is a bonkers NBA trivia question. I still remember the Kobe interview after that Lakers game in Lillard’s rookie season in Portland, Kobe dropped like 50 and the Lakers barely won. The interviewer brought up Dame and Kobe just had this look on his face like “God damn. He’s good.”
it would be sick to see Dame, Steph, and Luka do a three point distance shootout thing at the allstar break.
Nah. Luka would be complaining the whole time about getting fouled during the 3 pt shooting contest.
ok bud
Yeah gimme Shai vs Luka flopping contest. They pick their defenders and the refs judge on whose flop looks most convincing.
Dillon Brooks on defence
Don’t you dare leave Emflop out of this
Yes we need 4 contestants. Biggest complainer without a technical foul is awarded extra points
Got the whole squad laughing with that one
It wasn’t a joke.
Can someone help me, my watch broke, what time is it?
DAME TIME!!
⌚️👈
I love him so much
So happy to see this dude back! I was really worried we had seen the end of clips like this from him after that injury. I’m a Celts fan, but always rooting for Dame and the Blazers. Tatum and Dame are setting a new precedent for athletes coming back from an Achilles tear. Incredible that it’s no longer career ending.
Dame time!
This team has a legit chance to make the Finals this year, they got so much depth at every position. Crazy that his first year back in Portland that he has an actually chance to win a championship.
Appreciate the love but it’s hard to imagine us beating Wemby in a 7 game series.
I said the same thing last year about the Knicks
Except we saw SA vs Portland last season and blazers got wiped. Rather easy. Only game they won was when Wemby nose-dived on the court.
We had pretty large leads in multiple of those losses + Deni was injured the entire second half of the season
I think you guys are a decidedly bad matchup, but that series is pretty meaningless, considering the team is wildly different
the blazers added ja and dame and lost nothing, the spurs are better obviously but it’s hard to say that series means anything now.
I agree unless they’re injured that’s never going to happen
We just dont have enough midrange weapons offensively. His paint presence on D neuters Deni’s ability to get downhill and their guards can pressure the perimeter knowing he’s there if they get beat.
You need someone like Brunson who can get a defender on their back and hit a middy to exploit that scheme.
We also don’t have much to guard him with. Tou is amazing against like 99% of the League, but Wemby can literally always shoot over him. DC is more his size but seems slower and less nimble. Timelord isn’t big enough. Carlson is new to me, I like his hustle and he’s got the size, but does he have the skill?
Unless Mitch happens again
Somebody pointed out in another thread that this is the first game a Blazer scored 30 this season. They are scoring out of every fucking position from every corner of the floor. It’s fucking crazy
I don’t think any blazers fans think we’re finals bound, we all agree that we’re a second round team with a chance at WCF depending on matchups
I forgot my watch can anyone tell me what time it is?
What can you do?
DAME. TIME.
Aye what time is it
In the first angle, the speed that Lavine whips his head back forward after it goes in is really funny to me.
Did he just bounce the ball off the defenders leg?
Cliffus Jiggrin
Crazy
This new announcer next to Travis is niiice
That’s my quarterback 🥺
Dame Time
Logo Lillard
I’m happy to see Dame back doing his thing. Not even a fan, it just feels right.
