    Dan Issel's Nuggets would love this!

    I tell you how a coach could not go into the locker room without throwing something the way his defense play then something wrong that coach. No energy on defense and what's up with Whiteside on defense.

    Kidd/Harden, he isn’t as dominant in the open court as LeBron

    These commentators just comparing him to other whites for the fuck of it.

    Two 1st-team All NBA players would be nice, but I think they can win with Dame and 1-2 all-stars that aren't quite as good.

    I thought you were saying he's a combined Harden/Lebron ability? I must've misunderstood.

    Dame did a better job defending Doncic than anyone I've seen on this team so far.

    Saying that all good white players are the next Bird drives me up the wall. In 2011, they were saying Dirk was like Bird and those two players are nothing alike.

    Saying this for years
    When he starts making open shots and occasionally passing the ball and trying on defense, only then does he deserve to be called by his actual name.

    Until then, he is Anfernee Simmons.

    Curry is so nice. We basically handed the keys to weak ass Simons over him

    I especially miss Currys defense

    Was so dumb to give Simons a significant role without a plan B if he wasn’t ready. We have one point guard.
