So It Looks Like Dame's Tenure in Portland is Over. Let's Take a Look At His Time in Portland, Shall We....?

[Saint1]

what? and run from the grind? have u lost ur damn mind?

OK that was funny

 

[Marc Spector]

Curry stans are so insecure. Despite all of Steph’s achievements they try to downplay the career of other Hall of Fame guards that are peers of Curry, and it’s weird

 

[Lakerman0834]

Was klay or Steph primary defender against him?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

@CHICAGO @steph_harden @Eric Brooks

Name the top 5 players Dame has played with while in Portland. He had maybe two years of Aldridge? Lets start naming them

Until @Don Homer does that his thread is shyt

That's all this is about too. Give Dame prime Klay/KD/Draymond and he's got rings.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Dame as your main guy can't get you anything noteworthy

Yeah? Name some of the 2nd and 3rd options he's had.

 

[murksiderock]

I ain’t gon hold you op this sounds like some personal stuff

He’s actually won playoff series and got his team to the WCFs. He’s overachieved his whole career

fukk you mad at?

You reaching hard saying he overachieved...

He been in his prime for 10 years, so I'm not even counting his rookie year. In his 10-year prime he's gone 4-8 in playoff series. That's a .333 series win percentage, with 5x losing in Rd1 and 2x missing the playoffs entirely...

So really we're only talking 3 seasons that he won a playoff series, just 3 years with any playoff success---->'14 (Aldridge's last year), '16, and '19...

This is a great time to remind you that he's been in the NBA for 11 years. So 11 years but only 3 that he won a playoff series...

This isn't the hallmark of an overachiever. You wanna know his competitors at point and how many of them have at least 4 series wins in the last decade?

CP3, Steph, Parker, Dragic, Harden, Westbrook, Kyrie, Lowry. Surely you don't think all 8 of these guys are better players than Dame, nor were all 8 of these guys in perpetually advantageous scenarios, so the fact we have 8 other points who also won at least 4 playoff series in the last decade totally contradicts your "Dame, overachiever!" angle...

That Dame Time shyt was always weak and overstated, Dame was never That Guy...

Always felt like that Conference Finals season was a fluke .

It clearly was as its the only time in an 11-year career that he won two playoff series in one run. 2019 is an anomaly in his career...

 

[Regular_P]

He's a 6'2" Carmelo with better PR.

 

[ECA]

Yeah? Name some of the 2nd and 3rd options he's had.

Bro was swept by a 6 seed pelicans team. I'm not moved

 

[murksiderock]

Some of this nikka's L's are particularly sinful too...

He got a convenient "he's playing hurt" excuse for losses to LA and Denver in 2021. This was right after the '19 L to GS in which he was ass vs Denver and SF and we got the "he's hurt" shyt too...

The way Rondo and Jrue emasculated him and CJ in '18 is one of the most embarrassing displays of overwhelming domination I've ever seen. The way fam performed that series is unconscionable. I think he was "hurt" that series too...

This nikka is always hurt when he need to turn up ...

 

[firemanBk]

Dame is a fantastic player and that team peaked as far as they could go.
If LA had signed back maybe things could've been different but that was a massive blow to the team. He still had about 5 more good years

There were no expectations of greatness for that guy coming out of school.

 

[MarcP]

Dame infused with Culture. My god.

 

[etrofllenrod504]

Gotta give it to Dame. It was genius using that “I’m not running from the grind stuff” to cover his playoff underperforming failures.

 

[MJ Truth]

Is this where you try to shyt on his tenure and downplay everything he did?

The Blazers went as far as they could go and peaked years ago.

Bringing up Drexler and Walton, past Blazers greats who played on stronger teams relative to their era is

shyt thread

He’s not shytting on Dame as much as he used this thread to suck on Curry’s dikk again.
