    Didn't know we had to play HOU, BOS, and TOR throughout a 13-game winning streak for our 13-game winning streak to mean something.

    No need to thank me. I don't WANT us to be a bad team. I WANT us to win a championship, or at the very least be a top 3 team in this league. But having middle-of-the-road stats in Rebounding and terrible Assists ratings is not the way to do that.

    Our saving grace is our improved Defense. And even I can see that it has greatly improved the past 2 months. But that isn't enough.

    You asked for someone to explain it to you, not for someone to justify it.

    Why is Layman even active over Baldwin, especially when two ball handlers (Napier and Turner) have nagging injuries??

    You can't explain something that makes no sense.

    The bench gave up that double digit lead so easily. That kills a team. Time to re-focus, and move on. Stotts going to that small frontcourt took away the pick and roll between Dame and Nurk that was working so well. I just don't get it.

    This is the second game all year where we have launched 30 or more 3's and shot under 24%, it is also only the third time all year we have shot under 24% for a game.

    Utah and OKC are both mediocre teams that we dominate year after year, except maybe one game here and there. GS had 4 starters OUT of that second game, and Cleveland has......LeBron. And nobody else.

    Were we supposed to be impressed by beating that? I was happy, but not overly impressed.

    Sorry but that's not a excuse, if this Team want's to be a Championship Contender and Dame a MVP, he must do this over a Full Season

    It's rude that Dame didn't schedule his baby's birth for the off season.

    The key is to be like Shawn Kemp and have so many kids you just don't care when they're born.

    Hey, blessings to them. They must be in an "inducing" situation soon. My wife was a week late, and the doctor had her induced.

    Well having a newborn certainly won't give him more energy.

    Dame will now play better on the road because he'll have more rest.

    The bench looks more tired than Dame. Ed was dead tonight. No spring in those legs. Collins and PC couldn't hit the broadside.

    Disagreeing with a coaches decision doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense.
