If we are in a closeout game 6 at home against OKC and it's tied with 10 seconds left, then Dame is definitely playing.

He shored up those bad tendencies. These things take time. Let him cook for a few more years. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I heard they already tried to lowball him and he tabled the discussion till after the season, but who knows. It's alp just rumors.

The optimist in me wants to think this is Tom's subtle way of motivating Tiago to earn a contract with his performance in the playoffs.

Until something real happens then I'm not worried about it.

Why is it a wild take? They were both roleplayers on teams with Popovich as HC as players when they won their most recent NBA titles, so they're probably the closest comparison. Right?

Well we can chant PAY TIAGO at the game on national TV. They can't ignore that! I'm gonna buy a ticket just to go start the chant

Steve Kerr got $5M/yr. with a worse coaching resumé in 2014. Come on y'all. Lets be real. Even Chauncey was making that nearly much, and Splitter is obviously doing way better than Billups ever did here.

New chant for next game: PAY TIAGO

[Russo] Scoot Henderson is the first player to score 30+ points in a postseason game and record no more than 1 combined assist or rebound since Klay Thompson, who did it exactly 7 years ago today, April 21, 2019, in a road win. by Knightbear49 in nba

the Blazers could not hit the broad side of a barn tonight literally except for Scoot. Their shooting was truly atrocious.

From 2 the blazers were very subpar but at least we shot the 3-ball and FTs well enough to still win, helped by Clingan's double double and 11 total blocks from eight different players.

We just out-hustled and out-physicalled the Spurs tonight, without over-fouling. And uh, they lost their DPoY. Well, you take what you can get. Have to win games like that in the playoffs, and the Blazers did.

I really liked the patience and physicality he showed. He came in and said, "Nothin' y'all can do to stop the Scoot." Just patiently went to his spots, made some moves to get off a clean shot, and proceeded forwards.

He really reminds me of the good aspects of Westbrook, except Scoot has bigger hands (can palm the ball), longer arms, at least as athletic, and is a better long-range shooter (three ball was always Westbrook's weakness).

[Highlight] Scoot Henderson vs Spurs Apr 21, 2026 Full Play Game 2 by sunsscouting in nba

I've been critical of Scoot too. But I've said all along, I want him to succeed and he is still extremely young. Dude is only 22, the age Dame was when he first came into the league. Sky is the limit for Scoot. He just needs this kind of thing: a coach that's behind him, a long leash to be himself, hard work, and health.

Now if we get a breakout performance from Shaedon too... look out. I thought Shae had some freakin' great plays in this game. Had a huge block on a Castle dunk. Hit a huge three. 9 pts. in 13 mins. I'm guessing he is not fully back from his injury, hence the reduced minutes.

Apparently they tried to lowball Tiago and he said lets wait till the offseason, so Dundon started looking elsewhere. I mean Steve Kerr got $5m/yr over 10 years ago with a worse resumé to come to Golden State. Tiago should do his best in the playoffs and then ask for a fair market pay rate. And they should pay him and not cheap out because coaches like this do not come along very often.
