    You're entitled to your opinion, it's just odd you think everyone needs to hear the same thing every ten minutes. Don't you have anything else to say?

    That was painful. But I will suffer through if the end result is a win.

    On the contrary, having only asserted that your routine is boring and annoying, I believe you’ve masterfully proven my point. Ask around...

    Lol. A one point win against a Booker-less team.

    A win is a win, but this win is indicitative that this team is not a playoff team.

    here’s 10 players who have played more games than Dame this year:

    And that’s just the first page.

    a bulldog? He barely moved all night. His defense was soft. He was like a statue. I get that you have to pace yourself in a 82 game season. He’s not pacing himself, he’s barely even playing at all.

    a team missing three fifths of their starting lineup isn’t a playoff team? No way!

    He may also be one of the true trolls that I have seen on here; in the sense that he only posts in order to get reactions and to get under people's skin. It looks like he has been somewhat successful!

    A win is a win but to struggle to win by 1 against a not bad Phoenix team without their 2 best players isn't exactly encouraging.

    I did learn that Lillard is a lot faster on offense than defense; then I noticed that pretty much every player is. :)

    Carmelo only travels a little bit further on offense than defense. I would like to see a column that shows how many miles a player travels per hour of playing time.

    Psst. It’s okay to enjoy the win. They’ve been hard to come by this season.

    1.5 games out of the 7th/8th seed. They’re staying afloat. That’s all they need to do until Nurk gets back.
