    His iconic clutch shots to close out OKC and Houston in the playoffs prevent the media from criticizing Dame like he deserves.

    I can't believe anyone is even watching this nonsense. Portland is gonna fight and hang around for a game 7. Dame is gonna have some great games and some **** ones, and he'll be average at best in game 7 and they'll for sure lose, and people will still clown about how clutch and awesome he is because of those 2 series winners.

    Edit: To be clear, he is awesome, and he's hit some huge shots, but Portland is never going anywhere with him as their best player. One fluke WCF run where they had an easy path and then got roasted by GS. That's their ceiling with him as their best player.

    damn, it’s been 3 games, and this thread is only at 4 pages...lmao

    I’ll admit, I have yet to watch a second of this series

    they play at the latest time, and this series just isn’t that interesting to me...I’ll check in when we get towards game 6 or a game 7

    just checked the boxscore...glad I didn’t waste time watching this game

    this has gotta be the least interesting series in the 1st round...no one has made a single comment about today’s game yet, and this thread is only 4 pages long heading into game 5

    So is 1-10 “shrinking in the big moments?” Or is it OK when your scrub teammates carry you?

    i've actually watched a decent amount and yet even when i do i can't muster too much excitement, despite the fact it's been pretty good. dame isn't threatening any all-time legacies and jokic hasn't been good long enough for me to root against, but he's getting there. even then, he seems very likable so it's hard to really hate him.

    He is one of the lesser superstars, nobody outside of Portland really cares about.

    (If he went and joined Lebron, more folks would tbf.)

    Always be in Steph's shadows.

    But I never heard about scandals, he has that going for himself.

    Lol, why the hate.

    His presence doesn't really threaten you or me.

    That is the Kwame effect. Good on the players pushing back on the lazy media and their weak, attention seeking superlatives.

    Nurkic has 0 sense of reliability. He consistently plays dumb and picks up unnecessary fouls. Is there really nobody on that sideline that’s telling him to be smarter
