    Maybe....but on how many shots? Needs to be efficient.

    That guy in the xtandi commercial is supposed to have been a pitcher...yet he throws like someone who learned how to throw a baseball 10 minutes before the commercial started.

    Why would you think that the Warriors would even consider that?
    If Dame gets traded it will be for Westbrook and pick(s). The best player we could conceivably get back for him would be Ben Simmons.

    Thing is, Nurk is what Nurk is. He's not all the sudden going to become a consistent, aggressive smart player. It's not in his M.O.

    Do we get to draft Wembanyama in a couple of weeks then?

    One thing i saw that i liked. If Dame commits to being a team first PG he can absolutely get it done. If he truly wants to win a championship, or advance far, he is going to have to be that guy. We can't have 16-38 dame. We need 10-16 Dame with 10 dimes and better defense.

    We need to improve our 3pt defense , or, at least act like we care about defending the three. Run outs, something.

    I see some of you guys are in mid-season-bitch-about-everything form

    I think HCP is wrong about Sharpe being useless this year; and I think mr. robot is wrong about Nurkic being in all-star form

    the Kings were something like 7-11 in the 2nd Q on three's

    Before he broke his leg he was a beast. He can be a beast again.

    You can’t be playing all your starters 19 mins in the first half of the first game.

    I thought it was just my browser. It definitely seems to be lagging a little.

    I'd rather have him have 12 and 15 and win by 8 to 10.

    Jabari Walker might be better for the team than Grant.

    We're tanking a lot better than the Jazz, but the Spurs are currently tanking the best

    But I have a feeling we have to trade Dame before we can give Walker minutes over Grant.
