Should Stotts have pulled Dame from last game earlier in the 4th?

    Tonight he barely played but we have a lot of 30+ minute games from AMinue where he has sucked.

    Double-team Dame. That's all you have to do. CJ can't carry the team. Nurk can't carry the team. Layman isn't there yet.

    Double team Dame. And if you're an athletic, lengthy team that plays Defense, then it's game over for Portland.

    Still lets bad shooting nights affect his decision making and defensive effort.

    It's the next step for him.

    I don't think we ran one play for Nurk all night. No wonder he didn't have a good game. Your big guys need to get a rhythm. He didn't get it. Poor coaching.

    Never had a bad word to say about Wade. Dude has been legit for a decade+. Love how he plays.

    He's definitely had a few.

    Agreed that they are fewer and further between though.
