    I’m confident he will, but Dame is the primary reason we’ve looked rather poor. He’s shooting poorly and he’s turning the ball over too much. Somebody needs to insult him!

    Dame is complete trash! We need to trade him for picks aNd just move on. Dude is too full of himself and has no culture other than making sure he gets his way. He is the black hole of this franchise and were not winning shit until we trade his sorry ass. Be lucky to even get a 1st for him i bet!
    He is the reason for our continual mediocrity. Him and him alone....

    sincerely,

    Better, but you should probably tweet at him. I doubt he reads this forum.

    Basically everybody but CJ and Kanter need to pick their games up.

    Early season, short off season in which I'm sure he had expected more time to rehab that knee, he has twins due soon, and it's a weird fucking time in the world. All of that said, he'll get in shape and become obsessed with the game like we've become accustomed to. He'll be fine but I'm glad many in here realize that our guys (including and especially Dame) are just finding their footing and we haven't seen a good representation of what they will be during the majority of the season.

    We can feel comforted that every team seems to be dealing with that. I just don't think that Orlando, Cleveland, Sacramento or Phoenix will be top seeds in their conferences (I could be wrong especially about Phoenix), I just don't think this unprecedented early season is anything close to indicative of what the NBA is going to look like by the season's end.

    Maybe it's having kids. When his son was born it threw him off and he played terrible. Now twins!

    I don't understand this take... if he's playing badly IN THIS MOMENT, and someone says "dude needs to play better," how does age have anything to do with it?

    The whole team is making far too many lazy passes. Several times I've seen 4 incredibly lazy and dangerous passes on the same possession before finally turning it over... No excuse for that.
