So are we holding Dame to a standard this year or does he get to play the perpetual underdog? Again

Yes
Yes
Who are these players? What standard are they being held to?

You hedging ya bets bruh. Scared to put pressure on him....but he’s a top 10 player tho, allegedly2001 eastern conference and he's not a contemporary
He didn't have to face anything close to the dynasty Warriors to get to the finals and had never been to a conference finals before last year
He's not as good as Duncan and i've never seen anyone claim such
Contemporary bruh ... but even if we use this example you're just highlighting the exception
He's not as good as LeBron and i've never seen anyone claim such
Klay was all-nba in 15 and has dame ever played with 1 all-star let alone all-nba player ..let alone 3 like steph would later do ...btw I hope we're keeping this same energy for Steph this season ... Finals or bust right?
Doesn't seem so G
He already got his team to a conference finals in the West ..I think thats about a proper max out considering his team compositions

Show me how many posters on this board besides yours truly that thought the Warriors would win the chip at the beginning of the 2014-15 season...if Steph had such a stacked roster why didn't any of y'all predict he'd get a chip?

This is where I get annoyed by NBA fans. His team isn't good enough to make real noise, period. Not out West.
Again...I repeat...TEAM. fukk you acting like Dame is holding the Blazers back or something?

CJ
Nurk
Hood
Trent
Roco
Kanter
Collins finna be back
Picked up Derrick Jones
Melo still good for 15
Simons still developing
Like dude that is more than enough to at the very least make the conference finals and be competitive and not get swept like they annually do....this is all assuming Dame is the player y’all alleged him to be

And go his ass swept by a team giving Jonas Jerkebo and Alfonso Mckinnie and Quinn Cook significant minutesDAME JUST MADE THE WCF
2 SEASONS AGO.
ARE WE PRETENDING THIS PORTLAND TEAM WAS EVER SUPPOSED
TO MAKE THE FINALS OUT WEST?
You a scary ass fan man. Hedging ya bets now and pop up when the coast looking clear
No...who are the players that are a weight class or two beyond him? What standard are they held to?
I Don't know what you're talking about tbh brutha ... He's already made a conference finals what "pressure" are you referring to? This isn't magic ..in the NBA more than any other league the most talented team wins ...I don't recall the Blazers ever being in the top 5 as far as roster composition let alone the best ...If you in your brain believe theres 10 players currently CLEARLY hands down better than Dame I'd love to see that list and compare situations / team success

Harden and Curry off top. Both expected to at least get their team in the conference finals....neither did. Both have had threads made about em and get shytted on
I’m pretty sure this the first thread ever holding Dame to any type of standard . Like legit , ever
ANSWER THE QUESTION

His team isn’t good enough because he and his contract holds them back. He ain’t in that level. He isn’t a number one on a title team.
so he has to make at least the conference finals to make noise and to be validated but even if he makes the conference finals "that don't count"

I'm glad all these "Dame is better than Steph" ass nikkas that were around in the playoffs are finally quiet.
