    If nance had made that bunny and Covington a fairly open 3 we would be right there.
    Frustrating.

    He was making everything the other night. Just one team needs to think they can get him to maximize his potential. And yeah that's hard for me to say with a straight face but I still believe it.

    If he was smart he would have said he didn't think Steph could do it. I bet Curry would have had a better shooting night.

    For the last number of years. It's not that CJ isn't a good player. It's just the fit. I think he will be even better on his own team away from Dame.

    Bingo! You can see the potential of Billups’ defensive scheme if he had better, more switchable players to work with. One of Dame or CJ have to go and obviously CJ is the odd man out. Simmons would instantly make this a top 10 defense IMO.

    I hope DSJ stays here longer than this season. Love what he does defensively. Perfect third PG.

    I think everyone knows that except Olshey. Shit he probably knew it too, just too stubborn to ever admit it.

    It's hard for me to complain about Nance. Nearly every game he does everything great except shoot. Some guys can't shoot.
    In the right lineup he could take maybe 5 shots/game, anything he makes is gravy.

    The absolute cock sucking for this three point record just goes to show that that's all the NBA is really about these days. A rule change is probably due.

    At time our defense looks decent but we watched the ball to much at that end. Offensely we just not enough scorers out there with the injuries. Plus we don't have a lot of ball handlers out neither. But they gave effort I guess that's all you can ask for.

    10 point loss isn't too bad, considering they were without about 55 points (normally).

    Just wish Nassir didn't keep getting hurt. Also, I think it showed that having 3 guards in the lineup is a moronic starting 5.

    meh, he’s being forced to create right now with the lack of scoring. His turnover percentage is way above his career rate.

    Hate to throw some realism at you but Dame is coming back, he will be healthier and we will somehow make the playoffs... hopefully it will be with a drastically changed roster that can be competitive.
