    You're all about consistency. Why haven't we been consistent at losing? We lost to Detroit which is great but then we fail to lose to the champs, a team we're supposed to lose to. I'm not convinced we're bad. I need to wait and see. Until we can lose to the good teams consistently, then I'll believe we suck.

    Oh, Dame had 3 fouls so he didn't play much. NOW it makes sense.

    It's not bleeding though. He's got stitches. Stick a bandage and some haemorrhoid cream on it, and it won't bleed on anyone.

    Stupid rule if anyone with a cut has to sit. It should only be if blood is flowing.

    No, what's stupid is not letting a player play because someone accidentailly leaving CJ off... and it was caught before the game started.

    THAT'S stupid.

    He got 3 early fouls... I'm saying this because I don't know if you're watching or not.

    Someone needs to retweet this to the other GMs around the league and maybe one of them will take him off our hands.

    Is it just me, or is Stotts' entire offensive scheme to just run a weave, then hope lillard or Cj make something happen. Usually after the weave goes nowhere, and the defense is set again.

    Am I crazy?

    McCollum is a very lazy defender, always late to the scene, because Stotts has him conserving fouls to stay in the game. McCollum gave up at least 4 baskets that way in the 1st half.

    Halftime
    Us - 56
    Them - 65

    Thomas went off in the second quarter. Dame sat most of the first half with three early fouls.

    CJ - 26 pts @ 66.7%
    Leonard - 8 pts @ 75%
    Crabbe - 7 pts @ 42.9%

    Plumlee - 4 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast in only 9 minutes, imagine what he could do if he could stop fouling.

    Dame - 3 pts @ 20% (1/5)
    Turner - 0 pts @ 0% (0/3)

    Thomas - 17 pts @ 70%
    Crowder - 13 pts @ 71.4%

    Smart - 11 pts @ 50%
