    I'll take any free stock tips, as long as you give me a money back guarantee!

    again, that's bullshit

    put Dame on CP3. He a much better matchup for Dame than Booker, and CP doesn't look to score nearly as much as he did. And Dame has defended Paul for years. Yeah, sometimes badly, but he's also has decent games guarding Paul. Starting the game with Dame on Booker was fucking stupidity. It made not one bit of sense. And if CP3 is a problem, put Dame on Bridges.

    I get that you'll always defend all things Stotts but now you're trashing Lillard in that effort

    That team looks like it has played a 5 games over the last 8 days on the road. Seriously i have not seen them quite so out of sync in a while.

    This was our first loss in those brown Spirit of Oregon jerseys. Burn them.

    funny how a team on a 6 game winning streak can drop a home game to Washington and follow it up with this shitshow tonight. That worm turned in a hurry

    Nas will give us more on defense than either Melo or Hood even if he never hits a shot.

    I said nothing about Stotts. Please point to where I was praising his coaching.

    I didn't like Dame on Booker. I don't like Dame on CP3 for the reasons you mentioned; he's defended him poorly in his career.

    I'm sorry if you think me saying Dame is a bad matchup for CP3 and Booker is bashing him. I think Dame has improved on D, but he's average at best.

    Most teams do not put their point guard on Dame either. Dame should not be trying to guard Booker. Now actually what i am seeing from Chris Paul i think Dame can guard. He is nowhere near as quick as he used to be.

    I agree on Booker, I did not like that matchup.

    It's possible that this might be the first year Dame is good on CP3.

    I'm saying the DECISION to put Dame on Booker was stupid. It was destined to fail. And everybody knows on whose desk that buck stops...that was Stotts. If the choice between putting Dame on Booker or Paul or Bridges are all bad choices, then somehow Stotts landed on the worst choice of the three

    Been looking at this stretch of games for a week now. It’s not going to be pretty.

    Ok... and I have agreed that I did not like Booker on Dame.

    Yet for some reason you got all pissy and started saying I'm defending Stotts.

    We regress offensively almost every single year in the playoffs. Look it up.

    Nah... Still 2-1 so they got .666 winning percentage. If they lose the next one in them then get the lighter ready in case they drop below .500.
