    Pascall with 30+? He got going against Tolliver and never slowed down.

    He drew up one a minute earlier that got a 2ft shot for Whiteside, who missed it.

    I'd love to see your favorite play design and I bet I could come up with a way to force a team to decide between a contested 2 or an open jumper for their worst shooter.

    How many defensive adjustments did we make?

    How structured was our offense?

    Did Stotts play the right guys?

    This is going to be one rocky season. I’m absolutely astonished how bad CJ and the team defense has been.

    The reality is that Dame is going to need an MVP level performance most nights to keep this team afloat. Otherwise we are stuck. The talent level isn't there and CJ appears to be continuing to regress.

    Watching Simons develop is about the only other thing I'm looking forward to at this point for this year.

    Yes, there needs to be a players only meeting indeed. Then Dame needs to grow a pair, march up to Olshey's office, and ask for a new coach. A new coach with a new, MODERN game plan, who actually teaches their players how to play Defense.

    As long as this roster has substandard forwards, there are going to be nights like this. This happened with Moe and Aminu and it'll continue with Hood and Tolliver.

    Just like last year, our second best player has been MIA to start the season. Good thing is we've learned from last year that he won't stay MIA, and then we'll be rolling again.

    Paschall is someone I was hoping they would get in the 2nd round. Reminded me a bit of Draymond with a better shot.

    I think the fact of the matter is our second best player is on the bench rehabbing from a broken leg. I appreciate what CJ brings when he’s on but nights like this are a killer.

    CJ finally scores.....he pads his garbage shooting nights with meaningless buckets quite often.

    We might have made a mistake taking Little, this number 7 could’ve helped this year.

    Saying this for years
    I really thought the chemistry issues were being overstated. Bazemore always was a good role player. Whiteside was being fit into a role he's always filled. Etc.

    But this team, despite better talent than the last couple of years, doesn't work well together for whatever reason. It might be lack of familiarity, but it doesn't feel like that.

    The other thing that hurts us was wasting a roster spot on Pau when Nurk was hurt and we weren't 100 percent sure of what Hassan would give us. We needed a healthy, decent big who we could count on to be able to play and at least hold his own defensively. Maybe you sign one of Tolliver and Pau, but no way do you bring in both, and probably not either.
