    Lol, where the hell is Dame? Is this about to be back to back no-shows at home? If this were Harden he’d be getting eviscerated.

    Dame is by far a worse defender than Harden

    Have to admit I thought Dame was one of those guys that had "it" and turned it on in the playoffs and in big moments. Not sure what the deal is here. I can't imagine him going a whole series like this and getting eliminated in the first round after the season they've had.

    Pelicans are put it on them. Jrue and rondo are playing out of their minds.

    Portland is literally just dribbling it up and doing some sad ISO. Dame can't even get by Mirotic right now. The Holiday/Rondo backcourt is looking pretty good this series in comparison.

    Dame hasn’t been great in the playoffs...career averages of 24, 5, and 6 on 40% from the field and 35% from 3 to go along with an 18.5 PER

    “playoff Dame” needs to become a thing if he has a subpar series and the Blazers lose in the 1st round

    This is surprising; I thought Portland was potentially scary. They may get swept.

    Portland peaked way too early. That Rockets defeat ruined the season for them. Lost the winning streak and spiraled down.
