    Afraid of getting another offensive foul for going to the rim.

    Embiid is 0/8. Sometimes you have a tough night.

    It's just a factual thing that can be intelligently discussed without BS or f-bombs that are often part of some responses. I've done breakdowns of it before so it's not like it's something that doesn't exist. Not sure why looking for a very good player to improve part of their game is such a bad bs thing.

    It's nice to have guys like CJ and Turner who can just go get some points when Nurk or Dame are struggling.

    He won't improve if you criticize him in this forum.

    I'll agree with the people saying Leaf looks good. Between Jackson last game and Leaf this game, I wouldn't have been upset drafted either of them instead of our picks. Don't take that as shade against Biggie or Collins though.

    I definitely agree that Nurk looks out of it. He looked gassed there at that timeout.

    Lillard had a great game against the Suns, where was CJ?

    Tunchi needs to be banned again, afterall it's only a matter of time before he says something like last time.

    Of course not. That doesn't mean we can't talk about how he needed to improve his defense from the last few years or in this case, work on shot selection. Dame started 5-7, then went 0-7 (most of those very difficult, and not good shots) before hitting his last shot which was a leaning, fade-away, 21' against 2 defenders. As a fan, it seems quite reasonable to hope that he can improve on that.

    pat with confidence is so much better than crabbe. Hope he can build on these games and really become another bench player we can depend on.

    We look like a veteran team that has played together a lot.

    Well said. Crabbe could shoot but just wasn't aggressive enough. Pat is looking for his shot when he gets a good look.
