    Yikes. We have Dame & CJ both of whom are capable of such magic.

    Hey buddy, you missed the start of the game see?


    Maybe if you would've saw how the game started you wouldn't be talking like that to me.

    I didn't dispute what you said did I. Damn, taking a legit observation a bit personally. Happy Thanksgiving.

    My biggest gripe with Stotts, right there. Is he too stubborn? Too afraid? Does he suffer vapor lock under pressure? It seems like many games his coaching ends as soon as the game starts!

    Whelp, Giannis has become unwatchable. Good job, NBA.

    2 three point attempts, leading to Freak getting 1 clear path foul because he beat Layman down and got a lob over the top with a foot in the restricted area.
    Other one wasn't a clear path, but it was a dunk.
    The game started with Freak getting this position with Layman taking contested 3's.

    It's not 100% on him, but it's the trend the game went.

    Just because I mention a player who played 3 minutes doesn't mean I'm putting this effort on him alone.
    I'm allowed to point things like this out.
    Even tho posters like you would rather Lillard, Nurk, CJ, Stotts, NO, Allen get all the blame.

    D69 roles his eyes at games like this. He was SO adamant about Giannis in that Draft over almost everyone else.

    Nurk might need to put the '3' ball away until next year. His form doesn't look bad and he might develop that at some point but looks like he needs a Summer of work to be much more consistent.

    Are we though? It's been between 20-24 almost all quarter.. So we're just trading baskets.

    Man... we need more consistent 3 point shooters for these kickouts. These are good looks. :(

    Amusing.....let me know the post I've even even hinted at that I place all the blame on Lillard, Nurk, CJ, Stotts and NO. I've got a gift card for you when you quote that post for me. :cheers:
