    And scoring. That's the difference between him and CJ.

    I absolutely cannot believe that you don't see the difference here. Where do you come off comparing ANYTHING between Dame and CJ?

    Are you going to start making comparisons between Steph Curry and Stauskas too?

    It was a pop step. You can't even extend the arm straight towards the defender on that move. A lot of the contact was created with his shoulder through his overall body momentum. That's not an offensive foul.

    Not on all the replays I saw of it. I saw a clear arm clearance. Agree to disagree.

    I do so the difference in Dame and C.J. It's just silly to complain about Dame not scoring enough, because he's not shooting enough and would have to force a bunch of tough shots to shoot more, and it's silly to complain about C.J. in this game because he's not playing isolation basketball, and it's silly to complain about him only having single digit points, because he'd have more if he was isolating...

    I didn't see a replay. Maybe he did... From practicing and using that move a lot, I find it hard to use my arm unless I turn into it. The move he made, he seemed pretty square.

    Evan Turnover has been killin' them haha. 6 points, 5 assists, and only 1 turnover (on a pass that was a good decision to throw).

    Had no problem with the way CJ played in the first half. He was efficient and didn't go on any extended dribble fests. That type of play keeps other players involved and in rhythm.

    Yeah, it was clear he did it. In real time it didn't look so bad but on the replay it was like "Damn, CJ." lol.

    I see some similarities... Tunchi was harder on Dame and complained more though.

    I... don't remember. I'd have to watch it again, which probably won't happen, since I don't have league pass.

    You don't know that. His history isn't great with ISO basketball. Last game, he turned into CJ McBrickum.

    The only way he's going to put doubts and critics to rest is by being better and making better decisions with the ball.

    Dame gets away with a lot more from this fan base because he's WAAAYY better than CJ is. CJ doesn't get away with as much because he's not nearly as good as Dame.

    Therefore, he deserves the flack he gets. He's not a bench player....he's our starting SG. Play like one.

    It's funny how Terrence Ross is a -11, the worst on the team... Yet he was hitting everything.

    I'm pretty sure it was his left, and fully extended.

    -11 in 11 minutes when he scored 12 points. Very odd.

    That was my recollection, but I wasn't 100% on it.
