It's Dame Time!

Dame last season in that game was only 7/18 and 2/7, assuming against Jrue, but also hit 12/12 free throws to put up a 28 point night playing with that mediocre Blazers squad against the east no. 1.

So that's good. But it also brings up a less heralded bullet point on this Dame trade. We now have a guy besides Khris who can hit a free throw in the last 2 minutes.. and the best part is, it's not Khris! It's a guy who can get separation and get a clean inbound and actually handle the ball.

It would not shock me to see Dame put himself in the 50/40/90 club for the first time this season.

Jrue is terrible at getting to the line, Dame is really good at it. Gonna help so much at the end of the games having the lead guard slow the game down by getting to the line. Helps that he is one of the best ft shooters ever

Regardless of Jrue or anything else. It all comes down to Middleton. We probably have 1 more ring with a healthy Middleton over the past 2 seasons. If he's healthy this year, we are going to be unguardable in any situation.

Also really excited to see a lineup of...

Dame
Mids
Giannis
Bobby
Brook

Not to mention foul trouble for the other team. You not only need to defend Giannis/Dame but you can't foul. Good luck

hopefully Dame means no more Giannis launching 3s

Giannis getting to like 70% for ft's would be so big.

I think he can go 51/41/91, but I guess I’m just more of a Dame fan than you.

Is anyone else watching Drew Eubanks in these Dame highlights and thinking: “that is going to be Giannis”
