    Dame is doing poorly because he's being double teamed, and he can't pass it off to Nurk on the PnR. And Dame has NEVER NEVER NEVER done well of any kind against a double team. Never.

    So yes, it's 5 on 4, and this is the result. 5 on 3 if you include Turner being as good as the towel boy.

    No fucking adjustments from game 1. Being outcoached by Alvin fucking Gentry. Holy shit.

    This is fucking dumb. Even if we end up winning this game I’ve seen enough from this years team to know they’re frauds.

    Dame can't get to the rim. Stotts can't make any adjustments.

    Damn. Is this really our peak?

    It took a season from the basketball god's injury wise, coupled with almost everyone else in the west dealing with injuries - for us to go out in the first round w/HCA.

    Iso iso iso no ball movement bad shots iso iso iso horseshit. I watched all season for this?! Yeah fuck this. Take a first round exit and shake this team up in the offseason, dump turner for nothing I don’t care. This is embarrassing
