The Inside Crew Reacts to Damian Lillard's Historic 2OT Performance Against Denver | NBA on TNT 

Charles Barkley scored 56 on 74% shooting and 75% from 3, went 3/4 from three though instead of Lilliards 12/17

Wonderful performance

Is amazing

That is the difference in today's game. Back then you knew what you was getting. Bird the shooter. Shaq the big man. Magic the passer. MJ and Kobe the fade away. A I the little guy with handles. Kids could go play basketball and pretend to be those guys. Now the MVP is some guy I can't pronounce his name and don't even know what he is about. He is a big man who can't shoot. What kid can pretend to be him or even spell or say his name correctly? Curry is basically the only one kids can relate to so now everyone even the bigs play like him. With LeBron everyone loves if he is plays in your city but other than that he is looked at as villain because he cries so much and took the easy way out writing his own script making super teams and claiming to be better than MJ.

Still lost

Dame has some iconic playoff moments, but his overall career playoff stats through last season aren't that great. He's having a helluva series, though.

He was terrible in defense lol He made big mistake on the end( Porter' s 3 points" )

2 failed plays by CJ

He does everything he can, Portland just can’t manage to land another star

@@JamesHayyden I was just thinking that. This guy is a flat out baller. What does the Blazers organization have to do to build a contender around him?

This wasn’t gritty hard nosed basketball. Pacers vs Pistons 2004 was a 6 game series and no team scored 90 points. Game 2 of that series was 72-67 and both sides combined for 26 blocks! This game we just saw was a good ol fashioned shootout.

Everyone knew LA was not going to win without AD though. Even though 30 pts is inexcusable, they are 2 very different scenarios.

You're absolutely correct tho!!!

So true! And great comparison to Duncan.

By the media sure. But not the players you can trust in the in the fact that the players no Jokic is a bad man.

@@banthachannel5132 he getting abused by the joker

Dame do not feel pressure, his teammates does.

Most CJ. 7/22 with 18 points is astrocious for a second option. He needs to be at least 20ppg and needs to stop shooting contested midrange

So 7th most in playoff history. Idk why everyone keeps saying 5th most.

The future is now

Where have you been? To just realize this now 😂

@@Jgherrera23 Where have you been to not learn sarcasm?

The problem with that is no big name stars want to go to Portland

@@baller78239 I'm gonna rule out Kawhi and PG going to Portland, but I can see something like a sign and trade with Miami. A nice sized wing defender like Jimmy that doesn't have the pressure of being the primary scorer would go well with Dame. With Jimmy's contract coming up and seeking the max, I can see Pat Riley not wanting to pay him that much til he's 36, especially with how his game doesn't age super well into the late stages of an NBA career. If I'm Portland I'm possibly thinking to ship CJ and a good amount of picks to Miami in a sign and trade to go all in for 2 years before they pretty much hit rebuild purgatory. Also, Stotts needs to go. I think he's been a fine coach, but a change is probably needed if they don't win this series or don't go to the WCF. It's been a long time, and I think they should look to part ways. Might take a look possibly at Dave Joerger or Lionel Hollins or even possibly Wes Unseld Jr. if they believe in the young defensive minded coach.

The only free agency move is to trade dame. He’s never gonna win there. U not gonna get a crazy package back for CJ, he’s a solid role player who can score, but u not get’n back a star. Dame needs a legit big 3 to win, that’s how nba is now unfortunately

@@Tyweezy84 Well yeah for Dame, but I'm talking about the Portland franchise. CJ could be a main piece in a package for Jimmy, which I feel Pat isn't gonna re-sign since he didn't even want to re-sign Wade at that age. In Dame's case Philly would be the only possible one and that's if they don't win this year, cuz if they do they're running it back. They didn't trade away Simmons for Harden, so why would they for Dame? Lakers have no more assets after the AD trade. Milwaukee will have to give up Middleton or Holiday and that puts them at a disadvantage missing a wing defender when going up against Brooklyn. Miami didn't want to give up Herro and I doubt Portland takes him.

@@chandleryen7315 i agree pat isn’t gonna re sign jimmy, he wants 4/180ms, that’s def not happening, so i can see a move for jimmy, but if u watched him this playoffs jimmy took a step back offensively, his jumper isn’t working. Dame needs some scoring help to go with that defense jimmy would give.

While that may be true, the players on the Blazers had open opportunities but were blowing it when it mattered

Yep, gotta dump stotts and trade cj and nurk for a legit star

@@JamesHayyden if they traded for Vuvecic this year that would've been a start

@@fredleeland2464 Just land Kawhi & McMillan in the offseason. Job done

I feel like Stotts has been pretty consistent for their team, but I agree. The same playbook is only gonna keep getting the same result.

What u talking about? He was the best player on Denver today 😂

Exactly. Thinking CJ needs a playoff nickname, he’s earned it

Dame to LA

@Ybyb he’s definitely not an “issue” but he’s also not ever gonna elevate Portland to win. Dame needs a solidified defender who can score (which cj does at times) but they just not a good fit for a championship run. Dame needs some dawgs

You need to go back and check out his playoff history. It's often CJ who performs better than Lillard. Lillard just tends to have a higher ceiling. He can explode for 40+ points. But CJ is far more consistent. The real issues isn't CJ anyway. Just look at the rest of that roster. It's horrible. I like Nurk but he's just not a good defender at all, he's like a superior Enes Kanter lol. Covington has not brought it on defense at all either and he's not really an offensive threat. The defense is just horrible in Portland and it has been for years.

@@spurstelevision 140_147 is 7 points difference

It was a great game but calling Dame performance historic is a stretch.

@@algrolls its historic because he made a record of threes in playoff. Its an objective fact not an opinion

Kenny is great he instigates Shaq and Chuck into arguments

No just no.

No

​@@fredleeland2464 Good point, he's like an upgraded version of the same thing. A better player than Kenny, but still can give that role player perspective to balance out the superstars Shaq and Chuck. Can tease Chuck about not having rings, and Chuck can make fun of him for bringing Steph Klay and KD water.

Bucks already have Holiday. They need Jrue's defense more than they need Dame's scoring/shooting...

@@OlJackBurton easy... swap Jrue to SG, put Dame in PG

@@waynefmj Jrue is more of a PG than Dame is, especially in the playoffs. If anything, Dame should be the SG guarding PGs and vice versa...

@@OlJackBurton Jrue can still act as PG when he gets the ball as Dame cuts etc off-ball, Dame is most dangerous when he controls the offense from the key. The sight of him dribbling to half-court alone shakes up the defensive line, everyone knows that he can let it fly anytime.

kenny take a rest maybe... relax chill... new face, new voice new opinion

He needs to heal up his Knees, he said they only at 90% rn gotta take time off to race to the board

Last time Kenny was there and Draymond was replacing Shaq. They're just rotating.

Kenny has a function on californian

Doesn't he?

"I haven't seen anybody shoot like that, BESIDES, MY FAVORITE PLAYER, STEPHEN CURRY." is what he said.

Portland has to do some major restructuring this summer, they have to fire stotts for sure because he is pathetic defensively, they have to either get better defensive players or a defensive coach that can turn the team around

He and Luka are gonna leave their teams in 2024 and form a super team

I wouldn't mind draymond on when he retires

@@natecruz7114 there's a reason why portland lost-Jokic. He is a team player, making his team better. They won, that's all that matters, dame said it himself.

Lillard had 10 assist which is about 25 points from assist. Add that to his 55 points and he contributed to 80 points and at a spectacular field goal percentage. It's pretty biased to do it for one player and not the other

You do know that Dame had 10 assists on top of that. Yeah Jokic won, but Dame deserves his shine it was a special game by him. *55 points (playoff career high) 7th highest in the playoffs. *12 3's most in playoff history *first 50/10 in playoff history.
