    I wonder how many points Dame would drop if he played against our defense? Probably 70.

    This was already the worst constructed roster that Dame has ever had to lead and it just got worse... not necessarily from a talent standpoint on either of those statements but from a construction standpoint and then you have the fact that Chauncey won't play Nurk as a paint clogger which is the only way to maximize Nurk's gifts. I don't think that would make this a winning team and honestly if he told Joe that was his plan and Joe stuck with this, it's on Joe.

    This season happened. Have you ever felt comfortable with a lead?

    I was strictly speaking first half. But it's okay. I agree with your overall point. Cheers!

    The quicker we trade Ant, the quicker we can go from people loving Sharpe, to bagging on him.

    There will be a new undersized guard to hype up then though, so it's okay.

    Ant is so much like CJ in the way that he won't start passing when his shot isn't there... and then there's the fact that he's even worse than CJ on D. No Bueno!

    11 points and a +4 in 17 minutes. Reddish was the bright spot.

    The way this game is played now a 15 point lead at the start of the 4th doesn't matter. It's just wild swing after wild swing

    yeah....sure....obviously this loss is on Dame....good job identifying the issue. I'm glad you didn't point at Billups for his shit coaching and lack of adjustments; or on Simons for doing almost nothing positive; or on whatever the defense was that allowed SGA to look like Michael Jordan on steroids. Yep,,,this was all Dame's fault

    23 is not young for a player to be established by that age.
    Developmentally, it's not young.

    I laughed pretty damn hard at the MJ comment, it really was insane to watch.
