    So you are clearly familiar with the difference between causation and correlation. Yet you're incredulous and my assertion is ridiculous. Alright then.

    Is it just me, or does it seem like we always play teams who are missing key players?

    But East coast fans of Melo are on the East coast. Has nothing to do with where the game is played, but who is watching from where.

    Only fair given that every team we play gets to miss 40% of our starting lineup every night.

    Any bets that CJ takes more than double the shots of the next closest player?

    Load Management Dame on games we can’t win like the next game against the Bucks then play him again against the Cavs and Bulls.

    He said Melo fans are going to “stay up late” to watch him tonight. We are only an hour later than eastern time.

    Nobody is saying that physical defense ALWAYS leads to back spasms. @illmatic99's contention was that it probably (ie, more likely than not) contributed to them. Your derisive response seems to suggest that physical defense CANNOT contribute to back spasms. "As someone who has studied statistics and works with data for a living", this seems like the less statistically probable stance to me.

    I've been saying since the 1st game. You can't run your franchise player into the ground this early. Especially when it's been proven he needs to be fresher for the playoffs.

    Our "great" coach just a few days ago mentioned a study in which he claims said that Dame would be fine playing big minutes. So down 20+ points last night in the 4th quarter this fucking guy puts Dame back in? We all can see what is happening. If Dame has been experiencing back spasms since the Toronto game, how can anyone defend Stotts on this?

    Dame never comes out in the 1st or 3rd quarters. It doesn't even matter what the game situation is. Why not try different rotations some games? We're 5-9 so it's not like running Dame into the ground got us wins or something.

    Fuck, I'm so pissed.

    Suggest for Stotts: Load Management Dame and CJ or even Melo next game against the Bucks please.
