Looking for reassurance from anyone who has watched a lot of the trailblazers in the playoffs. I get that it’s regular season, but he’s a complete liability on defense. I’m not expecting him to be Jrue Holiday on D, but he doesn’t seem to care about stopping his assignment while driving let alone playing off ball D or rotating to an open defender. It’d be impossible for him not to play somewhat better in the playoffs, but how much better is it?
Blazer fan here.
Dame is really unpredictable in the playoffs. Defensive intensity will improve. Not by much, but still an improvement.
Offense will be changed greatly. The post season is where he gets very confident (get ready for those logo 3s!)
He doesn’t have much playoff experience (in recent times) so set your standards a bit low
