That first paragraph is a rough one

Wow, you aint kidding.

Dame has been killing it.

Strange he and Beal are fine in their current situations.

Some people are happy just to collect a huge paycheck rather than compete for a title.

Would rather be making $50m on a team struggling to get in the play-in rather than make $35m on a title contender.

Don't really blame him though. Some people could see it as loyalty to the organization. I see it as doing what right for him personally.

Even for a rough draft that was rough

With Lillard I honestly think at this point he feels such a connection to that franchise that he can live with it if he doesnt win a title. Money is a factor sure, but not the main one. I applaud this bigly.

Watching the Clippers/Nuggets game a few things were mentioned that seem almost made up.

-Jokic hasn't had a below .500 shooting game since Oct. 28

-the Nuggets are 22-0 when he gets a trip-dub

The announcers said before Bones Hyland was traded there was game where he was taken out in the 4th. He got pissed, left the bench while the game was still going on and went to the locker room. Not very wise.

And Dame scored 71 last night. Damn! Wonder if the league drug tested him like they did with Spida?

 

[shopson67]

Looks like coach tbh, look at those seats lol

He has leg room though, and he's a big man.

another that aged poorly...

He’s already said as much.

Leave my guy @Shanemansj13 alone…lol

Oh absolutely.

My main issue is with the Blazers' organization not surrounding him with a championship caliber team. I know there have been injuries over the years but this team is a far cry from that of the one who made the WCF only four years ago.

It’s just so damn hard to do when you stay in the playoffs and aren’t a major market.

 

[Pastafazul]

I agree.

I think I am pretty funny. I do make myself laugh occasionally.

Your mirror finds you hysterical

Should be a lot easier when you have a guy like Dame who is determined to stay on the team.

 

[trojanfan12]

You can have never been done with that much cause you ain’t no reason why you don’t want me to come back home here cause you.

You can get a hold for you and see what they are saying about the other way you.

That’s the BS games you want to play?

Can we get a wellness check on Pasta?

Might be having a stroke.

Na, he’s a seasoned athlete

 

[tlance]

The timing was comic gold.

I will agree on that.

But also, Donovan Mitchell had 70 and I don’t see anybody trying to call him a superstar.

Of course Lillard is better.

But 1 game is 1 game no matter how brilliant.

...and have a tech billionaire owner? Shouldn't be as hard as they're making it, IMO.

Mitchell's 70 was cheap, he got OT that shouldn't have even taken place lol.

Cue Cleveland fans rebuttals starting........now?

That's putting it mildly.

Almost got a headache reading it.

I was like....Damn!....WTF?!?! was that?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Tired and hungry.

A well seasoned athlete … still have a better work ethic than these clowns that spend a third of the season as spectators
