The Trail Blazers got off to a bad start to the season, but have seemed to pick it up. Notably, Damian Lillard has caught back, which has become the main reason for their resurgence. Their recent loss to the Sacramento Kings snapped their four-game winning streak. Currently, 10-9 for the season, Lillard and the Trail Blazers have their work cut out for them.

Fans say never compare Damian Lillard with Stephen Curry
Generally, a great battle takes place between Lillard and Curry. However, tonight it was all Curry as Dame struggled from the field. His poor display saw Twitter users come to the surface and attack the notion of comparisons to Stephen Curry.
I know Dame gotta be SICK of Steph bruh 😭😭
Steph strips Dame and then hits a three in transition 🔥 This man cannot be stopped...
Somebody once tried to tell me Dame was more Clutch than Steph?
steph is closer to mj than dame is to him btw
This Steph and dame debate needs to stop,it should’ve never happened in the first place
me thinking dame had any chance of even remotely competing with steph statistically tonight
Dame when he has to play Steph:
It surely was a game to forget for Dame as he shot just 33% from the field. He was not feeling his shot and didn’t see anything go in. However, that does not take away from his greatness. Dame is one of the coldest players in the NBA and his clutch gene is probably the best. One bad game won’t change that.
Coming to his comparisons with Curry, they both are great shooters. Chiefly, they are elite point guards in their own right. Both of them have proved time and again why they are top players. Hence, a few bad games won’t affect their resume in any way.
With the game, the Trail Blazers struggled to get it going as a team itself shooting under 50% from the field. Lillard knocked down just 2 three’s, both coming in their effort to bounce back in the fourth quarter. His counterpart CJ McCollum also struggled to get things going for himself. For Stephen Curry, he had yet another night to remember as he took over in the fourth quarter.
