Sixers fans want to be on Dame Time.

During Philadelphia’s 113-103 win over Portland while being so shorthanded, Damian Lillard received a lot of very loud “We want Lillard” chants from the Philadelphia fans. The star guard definitely heard them and he gave the fans some props.

He knows why they call Philly the City of Brotherly love.

Blazers coach Chauncey Billups chimed in on it.

Saying that the Blazers want Lillard as well, but he understood why the Philadelphia fans chanted that. He is obviously a terrific player and the fans would like to see him in a Sixers uniform.

Lillard is loyal to the Blazers organization to a fault, so it will be interesting to see what happens with that situation, but for now, the Sixers will move on with the roster they have.

Ben Simmons has turned that team into quite the mess.
