Portland was never going anywhere with Dame and CJ, was foolish to lock both them up with those contracts.
Wall shoulda never got the deal he got too, but that's just because he didn't deserve it

Buddy Hield can’t say anything if he’s going to shoot 25/23 splits like has been over his last 5 games. And he’s been taking 12 year old my player shots

I don't really think that's bad timing. They're just not that good. They'd never be in the conversation for best team of any season regardless.

Nope. Peak him was Miami. This was Bron with a decent group of flawed vets (Love, Hill, Korver, TT) against babies (Indiana, Boston - no Kyrie, and the Casey-Derozen raptors). And him having to take a bigger offensive load that was good enough to squeak by that Indiana team and go to 7 with that Boston team. This Bron conserved defensive energy and hustle for offensive energy. Not him at his best.
2012-2016 Bron was him at his peak. Otherworldly player.

if korky can keep them december #s up it will get interesting for his role with the team.. I WANT HIM SHOOTING 4 A GAME NOTHING LESS
add in his floater from time to time and he can be a nice helper

2012-2016 Bron was probably the best basketball we'll ever see in our lives.

Seeing him lose to the Spurs in the finals was the best basketball I'd ever seen in my life

Posting up would change the entire meta of the Dallas offense, which by last check was ranked pretty high. KP needs to get his shot back much more than he needs to post up
There is also a difference between getting points in the paint and posting up, which the former I’m all for

Yeah and that's fair too obviously. Don't really see any team winning now without an elite wing.
I do think they would've been really good with Nurkic/Collins/Hood healthy and a Whiteside/Bazemore trade for something useful though. Don't see why they couldn't be a top 4 seed.

Yea they shouldn't be this bad and could still potentially make the playoffs. But nobody says it's unfortunate that Kobe had to go against Duncan's Spurs or vice versa because they're pretty much on the same level. It's the same excuse people use for Harden. Guys like Dame and harden are all time greats but they're just not on that top tier level, Dame has had his postseason clunkers himself.

Nahhh chillllll I don't follow any fan LeBron accounts except his own. Basketball stuff shows up on the ig search screen. Lots of Bron stuff gets posted. Don't do me like that lolIt's wild how many LeBron accounts you follow

Anything they would've been able to do with a healthy roster still would've been an outside shot.
Dame and Harden have definitely had their postseason clunkers, but I think it does need to be noted that they are clearly overmatched and fighting an uphill battle when playing the KD/Klay/Curry Warriors. Feel like it's hard to knock them too much when their teams aren't really supposed to have a shot at winning.
If they were on teams that were even, of course nobody would say it's unfortunate. Similar to the Spurs/Lakers like you noted.

I don't want to get into perimeter bias here but wing backcourt players and wings just have to do more and Bron was doing it all.

I probably just have a different perspective on that. I feel like the cream rises to the top one way or another. The best players find themselves on the best teams by hook or by crook. Every time I hear Dame talk he's like..I love it here in Portland, why would I leave? CJ is my brudda, yada yada. A guy like Kobe was gonna raise hell and embarrass and shame the organization into putting talent around him and demand his teammates to work as hard as he did. Mike was the same way. And then great role players (Artest, Rodman etc) gravitate to them and want to be in their orbit.
Dame just flat out aint on Steph's level. Harden's style is only suited for guys who are willing to stand there and watch him dribble, for most of his time in Houston he's had teams that perfectly complement him. They are the kinda guys who can only win as 2nd options. To me there's very few if any players in history who were good enough to win as #1 options and just had tough luck.
