    Only game I haven’t seen so far is the last one. Maybe I’m the problem.

    I saw your opinion, that's it.

    I know this isn't working out as you predicted and I understand this is frustrating. I'm frustrated as well.

    Lmaaaaao. And this is the first game I've watched. Maybe I should just stick to radio calls.

    I'm right. Not frustrated.

    Also, it's not opinion. It's facts.

    It's okay, we're in this struggle together.

    Maybe the new 3point fouling rules have badly effect Dame? Maybe defenders are not as afraid to guard him because they are not as worried to foul him and its shutting him down?

    Cj has actually done a pretty good job on George. I was surprised they didn’t have Nance on him.

    What does playing him 40 min against the Kings have to do with him being rusty? He looks in preseason form right now IMO.

    I just think he hasn’t found his groove yet. I’m not too worried about it.

    Man, I’ve been a big Nurkic guy but he’s looked awful. How do you try to dribble in the paint when there are 3 defenders surrounding you? That’s elementary level basketball knowledge.

    Turnovers and rebounding and plain shooting bad. Must clean it up in the 2nd half to make this a game.

    Am I the only one that has noticed that CJ has been our best perimeter defender through three games? I mean, 3 games is tiny, but if he can sustain this level of defense I'm think I could be coerced off the CJ for Simmons boat. Just need Dame to regain his MVP level of play.

    Running the offense through Nurk for the upside of the 1 in 5 games where he is engaged didn't seem worth reducing the impact Dame has on the offense. I much prefer Dame's ability to get people open.

    Nurk tries too hard to make the fancy play instead of just the smart/sound play.

    Zeller's face is going to be one big scar by the end of the season.
