    Golden State and Dallas blitzing and doubling Dame the last two games have been a prime example of how to slow him down.

    Melo is the source of many defensive breakdowns.

    here is dallas game plan: attack simons, hezonja, Melo in pick and roll. You’ll get a good shot every time.

    Yeah but he’s been somewhat effective offensively and has hit his open shots.

    Yup. Guess it’s the way if the world. Some people are gifted with talent. Even GMs.

    Curry too.

    Teams were drooling over Simons this summer. He’s proven this year he’s not even remotely CLOSE to being ready. Can’t help but wonder what kind of haul we could have gotten for him if we went “all in” and moved him for a potentially big piece.

    Why the fuck is Swanigan playing over Little against perimeter bigs like Porzingis and Kleber?

    Why the fuck is he playing PF next to Whiteside?

    Why the fuck did Stotts put Swanigan in at PF and had him go trap Doncic at halfcourt? Little is much more built to do that than Swanigan.

    Why the fuck did Stotts go to a zone in the first half when Dallas was killing it from 3?

    Why the fuck do we run an isolation offense but our coach is an "offensive coach"

    Why the fuck don't we just hire a defensive coach to do that?

    Why the fuck can't we trap or hedge a pick n roll?

    I'm so annoyed man. I'm so sick of this damn head coach.

    Trent's stroke is smoother than silk

    No they weren't, and there wasn't anyone noticeable that we missed out on trading for this summer.

    Read the post. I said make it difficult. Dame has just been on an insane run.

    Switching Whiteside and Swanigan is not making it difficult on Doncic.
