    No Nurk and Dame = blowout. Zero rim protection. Field day for KL and PG. I mean, Dallas and Memphis closing in...playoffs are not a sure thing at all. GSW would kill portland in the play-in too.

    It can't be exciting to work your ass off to make the playoffs when you know your team cannot get out of the first round. The way teams like Utah and Phoenix are playing is something else. As an 8th or 7 seed that is who Dame will have to face and likely swept.

    I just have the feeling that something changed post-all star break. There is no fight in the team whatsoever. Dame has not had a really great performance in a long time. Maybe losing Trent and Hood hurt the team's unity???? I dunno but something is off. Ya can't keep losing games in the first quarter. That is just not acceptable. And it happens a lot for this team.

    You could give Stotts Ben Simmons, Jrue Holiday, Giannis, Draymond and Gobert and he would still manage to have a bottom 5 defense

    Right now the way we are playing they hope they stay in 6th place. Due to a play-in games they just might loose and not even make it.

    The second dose of the Moderna vaccine is no joke and the majority of the team got theirs yesterday. It kinda kicked my ass for a good day. Would not be surprised to see a lethargic effort, or for more players to sit out completely.

    I’ve heard that, too. I got the moderna and felt worse after my first dose. I didn’t even really have any soreness in my arm for the second.

    interesting, for me the first dose was no big deal but the second one knocked me out. Maybe I’m just a pussy

    I get the Pfizer one today. Of everything I've heard the 2nd one of either Pfizer or Moderna can kick your ass but the first one is pretty minimal.

    Regardless, im just happy to be eligible. Made my appt last night and was shocked as hell they had a full day of openings for today.

    The 2nd Pfizer kicked my ass for half a day. Had a 103 degree fever, intense body aches, it was not fun. If you start feeling it take Tylenol immediately...it makes a difference.

    Good to know. I made sure to set up my 2nd shot so that I have 2 days off afterwards to get through it.

    It's a weird feeling knowing you're gonna be sick in about 3 weeks lol.

    Appreciate the advice!

    I wish I would have taken the Tylenol sooner. I suffered through most of it in bed.
