DAMIAN LILLARD IS THE GREATEST CLUTCH SHOOTER TO EVER LIVE
COLORS KEY | FULL BLAZERS OUTLOOK
Portland made the Western Conference Finals just two years ago, and were looking to go back in a postseason poised to have plenty of upsets, along with a favorable first round matchup with Denver, who is missing Jamal Murray. However, their star point guard has given them everything they could’ve asked for, and still sit facing two elimination games in the first round. Their frontcourt has been dominated by Denver’s all series, and it looks like Dame Time will need some more help on that end to get back to where they were two seasons ago.
While the loss is what matters when it comes to Portland’s playoff aspirations, Lillard’s legendary performance deserves some credit and acknowledgement for his incredible Game 5 showing. If this was a one-off or a fluke, then that would be one thing, but ‘Dame Time’ has become synonymous with delivering in the big moments and nobody does it better away from the basket than Lillard himself. He already has the t-most series-ending buzzer-beaters in NBA history and a few all-time playoff moments fueled by clutch jump shots. Lillard now owns three of the four most 3PM during 1 game in NBA postseason history as well.
