I used to joke that OKC would have won a title if Scott Brooks had the balls to bench Westbrook for the last 5 minutes. I believe Eric Maynor was the backup PG at the time. :lol:

Beverly +27
Bryant +22
Lebron +17
Westbrook -13

Every bench player was negative and every starter was positive. Is that surprising in a game with such a wild swing?

...and he's a big reason why.

They really put that man on a top 75 overall and try to argue he’s a true number 1 if you want to contend! Media and fan bias can run with any narrative.

They really equated gigantic incumbent team contract extensions with loyalty. That's some excellent work by Dame's agency.

How does that work? Why does the FO need Lillard's go-ahead?

Does Lillard have a no trade clause?

Portland is about to go thru the same thing OKC did 3 years ago ...time to cut the cord on Dame....at least us OKC fans knew it was time to tear it down.

This is like watching to people who hate each other but won't get divorced.

Some great finishes tonight, only shame it was on a Sunday night so probably not the best viewership. The Lakers/Blazers game was very chaotic LA beat them to all the loose balls in the 2nd half

Haha and that was russ with UBER athleticism and a respectable mid range, and an 80%+ free throw shooter.

He doesn’t have any of that now

. I said this earlier but we were up 18 in the first quarter and our lead went down FAST when russ was checked in to play

Yep.

Dame has so much love in Portland that the FO are probably scared of trading Dame plus Dame clearly loves Portland too.
