    i guess a sign of the bad times is when i felt that even a win tonight would have left a bad taste in my mouth

    This guy is garbage this year he can’t even make open 3s anymore. It’s beyond feast or famine at this point

    But i could stay up all night giving the opposite example. We dont know if his abs are the culprit. He's not a spring chicken anymore. Athletic performance declines with age.

    How many good games has he had all year? Is dame the only athlete in the history of the earth that is not fading with age?

    Nice to see such positive contributions from Ant and Mc. Add in Nas and that was over 50 points tonight.

    I think dame has one or two games with 30 plus. But no, he really hasn’t been the best on the court in any game except those two, and that’s pushing it. I would take him out for the rest of the goddamn season. There is no reason to play him. Zero reason. Build the young guys.

    Sadly, tonight was on Dame's inability to make a shot. 11 missed '3's is a large number and countered Ant and Mc having brilliant nights from behind the arc.

    For some reason, he is just not shooting well. But given the rest of the effort (outside of Nurk), there were some bright spots.

    I know he should probably not be worried about the refs but this is just ridiculous man they took him out of the game he was defending well

    "Dame! Hurry up and get back. You're our only hope!"

    "Dame you fucking suck we should trade you"

    Unreal how fickle some of you are. Shameful, really.

    We do suck, and I’m not a big fan of the upcoming draft. We either blow this entire thing up or Cronin completely fleeces someone, those are our only options out of this mess.

    Dame said he felt better today than he has in a long time. Maybe it was just rust. Let’s see how the next couple games go

    If you listened to Chauncey's post game as well... I think CJ is as good as gone because Chauncey was like "now that we're healthy...". Sure he was talking about Dame first and foremost. Also Ant and Nas but if CJ is our second best player then we're definitely not healthy right now. I just thought that was a little telling about what him and Joe may have already decided regarding the big moves they're going to make.
