    Yeah. He's thinking too much. About 10 games into the season, he wasn't thinking enough, taking a lot of ill-advised shots. Now it's the other extreme. He can't even catch the ball with no one within 20 feet of him. His confidence is shot, and even putting him in just in spots he can't seem to do anything right.

    A shame he got hurt the other night, because it was the best he looked in a loooooong time.

    you're so full of shit...three different times they've replayed Dame driving on Holiday, and Holiday committed about 8 fouls on those three drives.

    I think illimatic is right and the ref's are punishing Dame for not getting fined. They wouldn't do it in Portland, but they're doing it in his first road game

    Our offense has been great lately. Our defense shouldn't be THIS bad. It's frustrating because we'd be dominating if we just played average defense.

    Melo had 3 fouls so I understand not bringing him back.

    Think you just live with putting Ariza on Favors and keep Hassan on Zion.

    Transition D just falls apart with Biggie and Hassan out there and have no chance in any sort of scramble situation.

    Yet Stotts just sits there and takes it. What would it take for him to stand up for his players for once???

    He's given him fits in the past and the refs are letting him put the clamps on tonight.

    I honestly believe Stotts was just rewarding Biggie for playing a good first shift, but FUCK, put your players in a position to succeed you fucking moron. Zion is around Biggie on rebounds before Biggie even realizes he needs to jump.

    You must've missed the multiple occasions he got in the refs face during the 1st half.

    And when he got ejected a couple weeks ago.

    At times our defense looks real good but then you get last 3-4 minutes. A lot times about what personal on the floor and on Stotts.

    Boy, doesn't "letting him" imply that they're doing it on purpose despite Dame getting hammered?

    why would they care if he got fined or not? If anything they probably feel stupid for blowing the call and will make it up somehow

    If he got a tech, he'd be complaining that Stotts is costing us a point. Can't win either way.
