    Well, all right then. I've been meaning to speak to you about your ridiculous, over the top, homer attitude that's always on display in your posts...





























    I really like that about you. ;)

    the thing that bothers me is his shooting %.
    most all star players average a lot of TO's because they have the ball a lot.
    I was looking at top players FG% and there are a lot of guys around the same FG% as dame.
    basicall 43% and lower were players like:
    harden
    paul George
    Kyle Lowry
    MIKE CONLEY
    melo
    isiah thomas
    gordon heyward
    jeff teague
    oladipo (39% yikes)
    kyrie irving( 39%) ill give him him a pass since he just came back but thats bad
    demarcus cousins

    a lot of those players are known as great team players. some are considered smart, efficient players( conley, Heyward). this made me feel better.
    i thnk the game is just changing witht he amount of shots being taken in a faster tempo NBA. 41% is unacceptable for dame but its not as bad as 41% use to look.
    he needs to get up to atleast 43% by the end of the year and i think he will

    It's the threes. I think that's what bothers people the most. When he goes 2-10 from deep, that annoys people. That and HOW he takes those shots. If he would cut down on the quick threes from 30' out, I think people would calm down.

    Dame isn't really a mid-range guy.

    The only one who could dethrone Kingspeed is Mags. Those two could have a homer-off and I don't know who would win.

    I can't believe this. People are actually bashing on Dame. You have to step back and look at the hand he has been dealt. I've said it before, I'd rather HIM shoot a fast break contested 3 from 25 feet with 20 seconds on the shot clock than 11 other guys on this team shoot a 15 foot uncontested shot. I can live with our bet player shooting whenever and wherever. Because scouts and coaches from the other team would rather have it the other way around I promise you.

    Theres a difference between giving constructive criticism when needed and constantly going over the top with negativity.

    Dame and Westbrook are players in NBA that are in top 9 of points and assists. He has our team in the hunt for a playoff spot despite all the new players on the team. We're only a couple games behind Houston and they made the WCF last year. If Dame isn't an All Star, then Harden shouldn't be one either.

    How about NONE of them "...shoot a fast break contested 3 from 25 feet with 20 seconds on the shot clock.."
