    Well what can you say about this team. Simons has the same genies as CJ only looking for his shot and don't make anyone better around him.

    I feel the same way. I’m nearly at my breaking point. I keep watching hoping to see something different.

    That’s the league today though; especially when you don’t guard the 3 point line.

    A 9 point lead can be a 2 point deficit… well we already know.

    Feels good when we are on the other end of it, lol.

    You can't. You have to have a couple of guards who at least offer resistance. None of these guys can stay in front of the ball and that breaks down the entire defense.

    Too many guards that aren't just small, but they are small and not bulldogs.

    Well, I think the difference is it starts for us by allowing penetration.

    I'm so glad I didn't pay for online streaming of these games...I watch the TNT streams and the rest listen on the radio ....I have zero investment in this team so far this season....they need an offensive and defensive identity and they seem lost...we seem to be 10 pts behind every other team in the league

    He is not now, nor has he ever been a PG and that likely isn't happening anytime soon. He grew up idolizing Dame/CJ and you can see the impression it has left on him.

    Dame should be thinking “how do I shoot better than 25% ?”


    The only player worth keeping is Nas. Dump the rest for picks and guys under 25.

    30 games in and who is the best player on the team?

    blow it up sky fucking high. And no Ben Simmons is not a good acquisition.

    This game was lost at the start of the 4th when for some reason Billups sat Dame, Norm and Nurk. They went on a big run and Ant went 0-4 or so and that was game. Needed Smith Jr in there to at least try to run the offense during that stretch instead of Ant trying to go Hero ball until Billups had to bring Dame back in.

    Probably that he was fouled on that first layup he missed in the 4th and that he should have made the second one.
