Aint no way I’m 2nd
Lillard having a great scoring stretch. Despite the Blazers mediocrity, I’m happy to get to see this guy play! RIP City!
Ward🎉…$1E$ aF. Ac1Bc®️™️©️💎🔒
Blazers had awful defense—Murray had like 7 free throws in a 90sec window at end of the 4th
Actually so sick of this team… Seen the movie a million times, poor late game execution. Can’t tell you how much it hurts seeing the team like this. Dejounte tried to put the team on his back he really tried to win but we really struggling like this. Those bogi missed free throws was pain. Heart breaking loss again. I’ve lost a ton of hope for this team honestly it’s just so tough to watch them like this.
DAME TIME!
murray is using the hawks to boost his stock and then he'll be gone.
hawks look better with him out there alone and no trae even if late game execution is bad the team flows better and plays better defense.
BAD ASS GAME 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh man. This was a really good game featuring one of the best PGs in the NBA today taking on one of the best SGs in the NBA today. Damian Lillard and DeJounte Murray straight up went at each one another in this game.

DeJounte Murray:
40pts
8 Rebs
7 Asts
2 Steals

The “hOoD” couldn’t save you this time murray
Hawks shouldve won this even without trae and just felt out sold the game
Damian Lillard:
41pts
2 Rebs
6 Asts
I actually thought DeJounte Murray did a pretty good job tonight of running the Hawks offense since Trae Young was out of their starting lineup tonight.
Murray vs Lillard
Murray 40 pts 8 reb 7 ast 13-26 Fg 🔥🔥🔥5-8 3pt 9-9 ft 0 turnovers
Lillard 42 pts 2 reb 6 ast 10-21 Fg 5-12 3pt 17-17 ft 0 turnovers
Perfect from freethrow land 🤦🏾♂
Hawks sold bruh 😓
I think Damian Lillard is still learning to trust his teammates in big games, which is why he felt he had to go for 41 tonight.
I'm a blazers fan, good win but the reason we aren't winning games like we did early in the season is bc we don't take the ball inside, we shoot way too many 3s and when we miss we stop playing defense. The defense is lacking badly
A team as a whole usually miss four free throws a game John Collins miss four by himself smh. Bogdanovic over griffin to end games is killing me smh.
Blazers 19-40 3pt
Hawks 13-30 3pt only stat difference cause everything elase is the same basically
17-17 from the line from dame‼️ “He’s On Fire”🔥🔥
Hawks went 24-30 from the FT line. They've gotta learn to be more efficient than that especially when they're playing in big games against big time players like Damian Lillard.
Lillard has the clutch gene embedded in his DNA. He just needs some more help in Portland. Nurkic and Grant are both solid players. Simons is coming along. He showed up and showed out tonight. The rest of Portland's players are inconsistent.
I got nothing, but respect for Lillard. He's a great leader, great player, and great teammate!
I feel like the hawks play better with Murray as the main player then Trae. I like Trae but I feel like murray can do everything Trae can but is a better defender and and bigger stronger player. I think they need to resign murray and focus more on him then trae.
Ive been keeping my eye on dejounte murray since HS
This win was a must for the blazers. I don't think we should have won this game because of the hawks getting so many offensive boards but dame had other plans.
silly blazers fans chanting mvp
7:16:26 Let’s just take a minute to congratulate how much hours and work she put into the video?
It is fabulous, and I consider they justify a lot more than that!
Nba has changed for the better, your star player gotta score 35 and above to even keep it close in the 4th
As much as i love my Warriors i would love to See Dame With a Ring He can’t carry the Blazers to a Championship 😔😔😔
I feel Bad that Dame Can’t carry the Blazers to a Championship he needs Players That can help him Offensively. He’s. Needs a Teammate like Klay 😔😔😔
Murray and Dame showed out but Hunter needs to step up because they obviously needed him today with some more possessions
Yung my plus 7 jn… Wagi
When all are healthy, Lilliard is simply one of the top six players in the game.
Portland keeps getting dominated on the glass
Blazers can do what the Dubs did last year if they can hit stride… come on PDX LETS GO!
