    Dame kept passing it away. Trying to get his teammates involved I guess

    Yes, I said it when we acquired Norm. Cut CJ's minutes. Have him be Dame lite off the bench and put a defensive team around Dame. That being said getting production out of DJ takes player and ball movement and all of this takes a little imagination and Terry Stotts has absolutely no imagination at all.

    If that’s true then Dame should’ve taken all 19 of them... surely we’d have won.

    Difference is we got waxed in game 5 so that game didn't hurt as much. This one.........gutwrenching.

    That was actual bullshit. They should not have called that hand grazing Dame's shorts. They should have given it to us side out, no foul and Denver would have had their timeout. It didn't matter though because they still got the win.

    He's fucking tired handling the ball every possession. He played 50+ minutes, and most of that was him in attack mode. His teammates did NOTHING to help him. Nurk fouling out was CRIMINAL.

    That was one hurts... Nurk melts down, CJ is the 5th-6th best perimeter player between the two teams, Powell continues to shoot incredibly bad in the last 2 minutes of close games. That's a lot to overcome.

    Not to mention our "great bench" isn't great.

    But we did he passed it to CJ. CJ as he practiced all year passed up the 3.

    Stotts, CJ, and Melo need to leave. It’s the only way.

    How awesome would it be if we had a decent defensive backup big right now?

    Also, Dame generated a NUMBER of wide open shots in the 4th + overtimes. When the ball was handled by CJ we got contested jumpers by CJ or contested jumpers by Norm.

    You trade cj and put Powell as a 2 we make a serious run. Powell is God tier better as a 2.

    I agree with that but Powell just doesn’t seem to be a big time shot maker. Regardless I’ll try anything at this point
