    Nurk's been running the internet since he didn't get any run in the fourth quarter.

    No, we got completely taken. We gave up two players who can impact the game in a big way... both of whom can put up a shit ton more points and numbers in general than Winslow can and we got back a nice glue guy and a dude with some potential. It was a shitty trade. That doesn't mean that Cronin will always make shitty trades and it doesn't mean we didn't get anything good out of it. It just means that we gave up much more talent than we received and you can't do that in this league.

    I dont care about the game tbh, i'm worried about Dame, he looks really bad. I thought he said he's is best shape ever, welp. He's aging

    I'd say we should have an undefeated dance party thread but the forum would probably crash.

    Best part was that both the offense and the defense showed potential. I would give the game ball to Hart. He impressed the whole game.

    I love Dame. I think he's still a good player. I think he deserved the extension. I think what he's done for the franchise is amazing. He's a solid guy.

    BUT- going forward, it makes more sense to start a backcourt of Simons & Sharpe.

    So I guess that means trading Dame. I hate that. But Simons/Sharpe is a better backcourt than Dame/Simons and it's the future. Might as well start to build chemistry with those guys. If we traded Dame, we could probably still make playoffs. If we don't, maybe we luck into a VW or a Scooter.

    I hate this. But it's true. And it's not because Dame shot badly tonight.

    With our current roster, no way would I trade Winslow back to get Powell and Covington.

    This team is going to take time to jell. Also, the players that sat with injuries need to knock off some rust.

    I think we may need a consolidation trade closer to the deadline, but liked a lot of what I saw tonight.

    Going forward, meaning like 5 years from now? Or this seasons?

    I can't entertain that you could seriously think benching Dame for Shapre is a good idea.

    I'm done debating the Dame thing... it's fucking ridiculous because he was moving great tonight and got to the hoop when he wanted to but blew some layups and his shot wasn't falling, we saw games like this from him five year ago but what the fuck ever.

    What I want to say is Shaedon Sharpe is the truth. We need to get him more involved with the offense because he's a monster on that end. I really like him on defense too but he did have a few times where he got out of position or schooled with a crafty vet move, which should be expected from a rookie. This guy is the truth though.

    Best players in this game:
    Josh Hart
    Jerami Grant
    Justise Winslow
    Shaedon Sharpe

    All of them are better defenders than Lillard and Simons.
    It's going to suck seeing Sharpe sitting on the bench already.
