    The question was about Hart, not Dame. Maybe a better wording would have been something like "How does it feel knowing that your teammates trust you to hit that?", but the question definitely wasn't about Dame.

    That actually might be where he can help the team the most.

    Each game is different.
    What worked tonight, may not work Wednesday.
    Luckily, Coach has a lot of buttons to push.

    I hope billups learned something from this close win over Miami.
    Because most of the game it didn't seem as if he and the team had learned diddly squat from their first loss.

    It's actually a fucking huge question.
    It epitomizes (sorry, big word) the growth of this team, and more importantly shows Damian Lillard can trust his teammates. Like he did when he deferred to Anfernee earlier this year.
    It is perhaps the biggest storyline of this entire season.
    If you can't see that, then, good thing we got Brooke.

    It’s easy for teams to lose their composure and not play the way they game planned against a team like Miami that swarms on defense by bringing lots of pressure and playing the passing lanes. Plus they move the ball well on offense.

    Agreed that every game is not the same. I think it's safe to say Eubanks nor Watford will be finishing close games if this roster is healthy.

    I don't dislike Eubanks and I actually think he's played far better than expectations; my post was meant as a compliment Winslow (and Billups).

    It’s too risky to purposely give up 2 free points. Lots of things can go wrong in that scenario. Trust your defense.

    I wouldn’t say that Strus 3 was open by any means

    I hope so, love to see this chemistry stay strong, winning makes it hard to be upset. I’m always watching players on the bench to see how they handle getting taken of of games and how they handle not playing, so far it’s been good

    Those who believe in math, understand that fouling is the right play (if you can).

    I wish they would've played off Bam so he was more-or-less wide open. That would've been the ideal foul.

    There were some definite problems tonight, but they got a come-from-behind win on the road. Well done.

    The percentages don't agree with this theory.
