    He isolated and scored at the end in a way Aminu, Harkless, Covington, and Nance couldn't.

    EDIT: I forgot to add Derrick Jones Jr to that list of misfits.

    It's not that shocking Mitchell and Davis are a couple of dawgs and besides them being Dame's primary defenders, the Kings ran everyone at him when he got the ball but that's not new. It's also not new for Dame to have a bad shooting night, I don't think he'll have a lot of them. It would be great for Dame to get cleaner looks but he had plenty of makeable shots that either just didn't drop or he missed pretty badly tonight. He'll make those, I'm not worried about that.

    I'm worried that him and Ant look about as effective on defense as Dame and CJ have for the last decade. That's not good.

    I love that Winslow was the 6th man replacing Ant and Hart slid to the 2....that was a great first rotation getting bigger and staggering the smaller guards

    You know that saying about earning playing time? Maybe that should apply to everyone.

    I like the unselfish play tonight with 6 players in double digit scoring...really shared the ball

    The Dallas Mavericks went from "taking the Phoenix Suns to the woodshed" to losing at the end. At least the Blazers didn't do that.

    Winslow +21 and no other was close. He makes his teammates better.

    That's such a polite way of saying we really sucked tonight.

    He's the best forward we've had since LaMarcus and he understands his role a lot better than LA did after Roy went away. The dude is a dawg along with being very talented and skilled on both ends.

    We need better play at the 5 spot next to him. We need better three point defense (that sure fucking sounds familiar). I don't know if we'll be getting those two things but we also need Dame and Ant to score more efficiently and I know we'll get that going.

    Weird game. Great start, solid finish, ugly middle. Nice to see us win when Dame doesn't have a great game.

    So nice to have guys like Grant/Hart putting up 42 points on only 22 attempts. Sharpe gave us some bonus buckets as well!

    Nurk was the one major negative, but it's on me if I expect anything else at this point.

    Ed O also thinks Central Banks are our friends. I haven't cared about his opinion in over a decade.

    Yes I noticed that as well. Actually, I loved all the rotations tonight. Especially the closing unit.

    He's the kind of bench player you need to win in this league. I really like what he can do in the second unit as a glue guy at either forward spot.
