    Granted ended the game shooting decent from the floor.

    Sharpe and Hart are something like 12-17 from the floor. Dame is 5-18.

    It's nice to have the wealth distributed.

    The bad thing about this game was not that Dame and Ant only scored one point per shot (both of them were that inefficient) because they just had bad shooting nights and both of them will only have those every once in a while. The problem is that they're just as bad on D as Dame and CJ were.

    Dame and Nurk need to look themselves in the mirror. Both tried to give this game away with their shotty play but thanks to Winslow, Grant and Hart looks like we’ll pull this one out. At this point, Ant looks like a better floor general than Lillard.

    I'm saying they were all below average in terms of offensive efficiency. 48 points on 49 shots, while the rest of the team scored 63 on just 39 shots.

    The point is that this team may, in fact, actually have enough quality depth that they can win games without being so dependent on its top 2-3 players, and that's a good thing.

    Just curious, what does the Clippers bench have to to with anything?

    I’d rather start Watford and live with that over Nurkic

    You can go find another team since you have nothing good to say the last few years for this team?

    HCP-KS beef. Best to just ignore it and move on.

    Dame and Nurk both being off and had enough other weapons to win? Wild.

    Did you watch the fucking game. Yeah, the Kings ran a lot more guys at Dame when he initiated the offense but Ant didn't get 9 assists and only had 22 points on 22 shots. I know we expect more from Dame and he'll give us more but let's not make crazy baseless comments.

    Wow...Grant even sealed the game with a rebound. I thought he was supposed to not know how to do that.
