    What does that have to do with missed opportunities?

    Whos to say those 17 turnovers dont represent 34 FT attempts?

    Dame's 1 FT tonight was on a Thibs technical foul.

    How does he not get a single shooting foul drawn in a whole game? That's just absurd. It's not like he wasn't aggressive.

    Time to start up my PS4 and pop in NBA 2k18. I'm gonna set it to Rookie difficulty and dominate with Lillard.

    Was at a Christmas party tonight, caught the end of the game on the radio. Wheels was dismayed over the jump ball thing. How did it look on TV?

    Dame was not a happy camper. Someone called him something in Minny as he was exiting the arena onto the bus. Dame hears it and comes over.

    Like a jump ball......probably out on Townes, but it was really close. I had no issue with the call.

    They shot a lot of FTs, we didn't. We had a lot of turnovers, they didn't. That should catch you up on the game thread.

    The most free throws Lillard has ever shot in a game was 15. Kinda crazy when you consider that he is in the top 10 in scoring and takes it to the rack a lot.

    Ok. Just watched the game. Dame goes to hoop gets fouled but no call. Butler falls backwards on his own and he goes to the line. Did we shoot even 10 FTs? I haven't looked at boxscore. I don't remember many. Bullshit game and I don't complain about refs often.

    I would guess it's very good. It's not like our 16 wins were all come from behind, lol.

    Just got back from California tonight. Spent the weekend there, but I was only able to see the Blazers take on the Magic.

    I am sooooo glad I didn't watch this game. I'm just too tired for this nonsense. Butler and his tiki-mask face.

    Hey, at least Nurk seems to have had a good game. And the 9ers won on Sunday. We had killer seats in the end zone.
