    That offensive foul call on Dame at the end of the half was some bullshit. He was fouled twice on the drive, then the defender jumped under him while he was in the air. What the seriously fuck.

    Yah like the guy that sucks CJs and Nurk’s dicks in every game thread. Clearly you’re so narrow minded that you think peoples opinions of players are formed based on a single performance. Don’t give up your day job washing dishes there Torrey-boy.

    The stubborn negative biases towards players and coaches are certainly a thing. We can see the bias in other people, but not ourselves.

    This has been an ugly stretch. Offense has just disappeared.

    Got a 20 point deficit down to 8. They’ve got to be feeling good.

    Maybe he has to just focus on doing less until he improves his ballhandling, footwork and shot.

    Like I said, we can see the bias in other people, but not ourselves. Human nature, myself included.
