I'm glad people are still talking about Dame's game 5. I figured since they lost it would just be forgotten to history. Seriously one of the greatest performances I've seen from a player
Statistically that’s the best playoff performance ever too… I’m a nuggets fan and watching him do that to my team was so crazy that I just started appreciating greatness
@@oliverwatkins6341 as a blazers fan it was a very disappointing loss since you guys didn't even have jamal murray, but it was an eye opener for our players and front office. We have no chance winning the chip with iso threes from dame and cj all game.
@@oliverwatkins6341 yup highest game score in playoff history. When combining the playoffs and the regular season it’s 5 all time. Only behind Jordan Kobe Karl and Harden
Dame was unreal. It wasn’t just the stats. It was how many clutch shots and plays he made. He was on a mission. Teammates broke my heart man. Even if Dame leaves Portland I will forever be a fan and follow where he goes. If he actually wins a chip in Portland he will be in the conversation as one of the greatest to ever lace em up.
Give me some context to that statement. I know he doesn’t have any MVP’s or scoring titles, but if he wins a chip in Portland that’s huge. He’s one of the greatest shooters ever, and one of the most clutch. Not to mention a great leader. He’s always had to overcome teammates being injured during the regular season. Last year was the first time Portland was healthy going into the playoffs when Dame has been at this level. He knew he missed a golden opportunity. I watch every player in the NBA. What Dame does on a nightly basis is special. I expect him to get an MVP before it’s all said and done. You will see. This isn’t just because I’m a Portland fan. He’s built different. He improves every year. Anyways it’s going to be tough, but I believe. Sorry for the rant. Peace ✌️
@@DazedCutty he will never win a chip in Portland , Nobody wants to come to arguably the worst defensive team come Playoff time , he can lead a team to a chip but it will not be in Portland
Dame really had one of the greatest performances ever. Watching the Nuggets players and staff reaction after every shot he made was hilarious. Every shot he made was demoralizing for them.
@@detroitdrama3 love Lillard but he had Austin Rivers Facu MPJ and Markus Howard guarding him 2 of those guys are technically rookies and MPJ in his 2nd year. Austin Rivers is also Austin Rivers
@@akiljean-pierre9972 and so Kobe had Jalen rose (a trash defender on em) , does it matter who was guarding him they was playing great defense,he's jus unstoppable
Harden really defeated the Warriors and the refs with no all-star in his team that day. He only had 5 free throws that game as well. One of the best regular-season performances in NBA history.
He’s better than Curry. He just never had the better team. Put him on the warriors they get to the finals. Put curry on the blazers they don’t make it to the playoffs
@@Yowo732 he definitely is. CJ McCollum would be the 4th best player in LA or Brooklyn and arguably Milwaukee as well. It’s a solid team capable of making the playoffs, but Dame is capable of being the best player on a championship team. He is better than CP3 and Booker, and those were the best guys on a finals team. It’s just a matter of supporting cast and opportunity.
@@Yowo732 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭.. yes he is most definitely a 1st option player.. he literally is carrying a mediocre Portland team to the playoffs every year, what are u talking about ?
@@zozplays7984 bc Curry literally has 2 to 3 other All Stars on him team dawg, how could he not lose 💀, couldn't even get into the playoffs last season bc he didn't have another all star
14:14 Kyrie slow behind the back dribble to the half spin crossover, split the double, euro step the next defender and tough finish with the left hand might’ve been one of the toughest plays I’ve ever seen
@@lilsh33n58 same, okc with Russ and harden and kd back in 2012 got me into watching basketball and Russ is my favorite player so I’m rooting for the Lakers this season but okc will always hold a special place in my heart but I think his change is from form, his form changed completely from 17 to 2018
Watching that Dame game live was crazy I was on the phone with my friend and I kept interrupting the conversation like “yo dame is going tf off right now!” lmao
That play where Durant ran out of bounds for 2 whole seconds and the ref didn’t call anything is still beyond me and the ref standing on the sideline should’ve been fired 😂😂
For real bro. People don’t watch Blazer games. I feel so lucky to have a player of his caliber on my team. Get to see greatness all the time. People just don’t even know.
Dude that game 5 dame is insane, mans literally just bang bang bang bang bang AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT MATTERED THAT HE NEEDED TO MAKE THAT SHOT like dude
When I saw the Blazers lose a game where Damian Lillard made history and has the highest game score in NBA playoff history, I got so pissed off I threw my phone across the room
That playoff game Damian had against the nuggets last year was one of the greatest games I’ve seen in a loss dude did everything possible to try and win that game and it was mostly from the 3pt line lol
Russ gave me goosebumps..imagine being a POINT GAURD and breaking a record no one thinks will be touched again…the SAME NIGHT, you hit the game winner? Record breaking night, 50 point night, and game winner? I MISS U RUSS😪
Dame is incredibly clutch smh hits 2 last second 3s well contested to put them in OT smh if he ever makes it to the finals and does some sht like that inna game 7 or something I’d lose my sht
That Portland team FAILED dame. I remember watching this live and saying I wouldn’t be mad if same went elsewhere and left Portland and the last time I said words like that was when bron was on the cavs
Seeing Dame take effortless clutch shots, not even sweating and just breaking hearts from the outside is so nuts. He’s just casual with it. “Need a tie? Here’s one”
Currys second MVP season he actives that mode every game the dubs Wer abt to lose and he will them to win. I think that was one of the problems they relied on him too much to get them out of a hole that year despite their talent.
I remember trying to watch that nuggets vs blazers game while I was working. Every time I got a chance to watch I just continued to see Dame absolutely torch the nuggets. Can’t believe the blazers still ended up losing that game, that was one of the greatest playoff performances EVER
People really forget how deadly Harden is...the dude cooked KD, Klay, Curry, Dreymond all by himself and people say Curry is better, he couldn't even beat the Grizzlies by himself to get into the playoffs lol
Coming from a Rockets fan since Yao I gotta say Curry is better. His play makes his teammates touch the ball. Harden actually had a good supporting cast in that game whereas Curry had nobody and barely Draymond. If you consider Wiggins help then you need to reconsider your knowledge of basketball

We shall see with the new coaching staff. If we can trade CJ+ for Ben that would be huge. Dame would make Ben a much better scorer.
I wanna ask a Portland fan this, do you want Dame to stay? Or do you think it's time to trade him and rebuild?
Dame really had one of the greatest performances ever. Watching the Nuggets players and staff reaction after every shot he made was hilarious. Every shot he made was demoralizing for them.
went back to watch just their reactions. Hilarious!🤣

This move was so tough. His fake half spin against the warriors when he played for bottom on the left wing gotta be my favorite move ever.
Idky but 15:35 wuz fire af to me to. And alot of those wuz on Kwhai. Or however u spell his name
That Kyrie game though. Like one of the greatest takeover games. Him and Lillard for sure but that Harden and Curry was on another level as well
When Dame passes away this exact roster should lower him to the ground so they can let him down one more time.
🤣🤣🤣
Damn that’s brutal 😂

the management were scratching their bald heads lmao
Damn watching all these give me goosebump, these players are scary lethal. It’s inhuman what they did in these games.
The ease of which Dame shoots from any range is a beautiful thing to watch.
