    How would it be Stotts' fault that Dame's foot was stepped on? How could Stotts predict when that was going to happen? Should he have not played Dame at all?

    This roadtrip has been a failure; the Atlanta game was the only one that really mattered and we didn't show up!

    Nate McMillan didn't listen to your demands. Played them to the very end.

    That wasn’t an overuse injury.

    You called him getting his foot stepped on? That can happen anytime. Should Stotts bench Dame for the rest of his career? I'd understand you if it was a overuse injury. But it wasn't. You called nothing.

    well, Stotts could have used Dame 32 minutes instead of 34. That way his foot wouldn't have been there.

    I know blaming schedule sounds like a cop out, but Boston and Atlanta are hardly neighboring cities, yet team had back to back after evening game. It was almost dawn when they arrived so not surprising they ran out of gas. Get some rest and have a 5-1 road trip.

    We should rest Dame for Lakers game. We can beat Cleveland without him. Honestly, we could probably beat Lakers without him too. Schroeder is out for two weeks and LeBron says he may never be 100% again.
