Dame is great, but a tier below the elite of the elite.

Hmm what else do you think Dame could have done to show he was elite during this series? I'm basically thinking, there's a reason why Dame can shoot 17-24, score 55, get 10 assists, even get 3 blocks...and still lose a game. And the reason isn't Dame.

He was elite in this series. He's just not on the same level as Jokic, and there's no shame in that.

Dame definitely isn't the reason they lost game 5.

But Jokic makes his teammates better more than Dame does his. I don't think that's a hot take.

Sham said he was rooting for the favorites, which includes the Lakers who were the favorites to win this series. Sham curse strikes again

PS: The Nuggets bench obviously made a big difference in the series.

you really blaming Dame for Kanter, Hollis-Jefferson, and Nurk getting cooked and CJ folding like a chair?

bro Austin rivers is playing 40mpg

the worst part of sham ruining Dame's playoff run is the nonsense we are going to have to hear about Dame.

He had 35.6 4.4 9.6 on 47% 47% 93% and he isn't elite :noway:
