    You say that like it's a bad thing. Remember, we were supposed to win 26 games and be the second worst team in the league, and yet here we are in the second round of the playoffs. Take a deep breath and enjoy that for a second.

    The seasons in the past where we were SUPPOSED to win 50+ games and we actually DID, the games threads were EXACTLY the same. They haven't changed at all. We would beat the Suns by 12 and there would be people on here freaking out that we didn't win by 20!

    I used to be blown away and ask how in the hell you could be negative about ANY aspect of a 12 point win on the road and people would crack on me for being a homer. I'll never forget NateBiship called me out once on here saying my opinion doesn't hold much credibility because I NEVER post anything negative about the team. That I was too much of a homer.

    Now this season we were SUPPOSED to suck and we DIDN'T and I get called out by all these nerds about being so negative.

    Suck it up, and get over yourself. This place will never change and that's why I love coming on here! There will always be those who are negative regardless and those who are positive regardless and hopefully those like myself who's opinions and expectations will change with each roster move.

    But all this bullshit about people's feeling getting hurt because others opinions aren't the same as yours? Grow a pair or find a new hobby....... #GETTHEFUCKKOUTTAHEREWITHTHATSHITFAMS!

    Dame averages 22 pts., 5.2 assists, and 4.2 rebounds against the Clippers despite getting double-teamed nonstop.

    He scored 30 points and had 5 assists yesterday despite playing with a nasty cold and having Klay Thompson draped around him most of the game.

    Perhaps that word "mediocre" doesn't mean what you think it does.

    The reason we're not in mediocrity right now is BECAUSE of Dame.

    Wow.

    And who brought "player x is garbage" and "season over" to the board vernacular?

    KingSpeed did, in a previous incarnation.

    So...WTF?

    He scored a bulk of his 30 in the fourth when the game was well out of reach.

    Are you not going to touch on his shooting percentage?

    He's averaging 23 ppg on 20 fga/per -- 36% shooting.

    His defense is atrocious and he's taking a lot of bad shots.

    There's nothing wrong with pointing out the negatives. Why sugarcoat?

    The 60 second manager philosophy. And it absolutely works...ESPECIALLY with a young average employee age. Most minds are fragile. Even at this type of top NBA level.

    Agreed. I look at the forum like the HCPs wife. It takes all kinds.

    He altered 8 shots I read after the game...closest player to get a hand on the ball on defense had 3...he did not play horrible defense...he attacked double teams all night long with what seems like a flu bug or respiratory problem...the guy is tough..give him some credit. Fact is nobody can shut the Warriors down defensively on most nights. Dame has been far from mediocre from my perspective. He's shown true leadership

    23 points on 20 shots is efficient, especially against playoff defense.

    Not.

    Swayed.

    Curious. Have you watched one of the playoff games? Any of them? Your stance is of someone who really hasn't been paying attention and is just looking at stats.....
    Seriously. Do you watch the games, or do you just read post game stats and manifest the game in your head as to how you think it went? I'm genuinely asking.
