    If by just toying you mean a lot of these guys aren't playing with the intensity that we've seen them play with in other games, I agree wholeheartedly but that shit can't happen.

    Dame is good at staying locked in through the break though. I think the second half we'll see Dame possibly do the opposite thing of what we saw him do in the first half. To start the game he was getting everyone else theirs but I could see him starting the second half getting his and then when the Hornets decide to throw all of their defense at him, he'll start throwing assists to the rest of our guys.

    The intensity can be better, I agree...which is kinda what I was alluding to....
    Not since Andre Miller have we seen this many lobs or attempted lobs...seems almost cocky.
    I believe Coach will set them straight. Just need to play with poise and this thing COULD be over soon.

    Can Nurk watch Eubanks how to get easy buckets?

    because Nurk is great about a lot of things but scoring the basketball efficiently given how good he is at getting position is not one of them. Nurk should be a 70% FG guy but he chooses not to be.

    There's nothing cool about missing stupid ass flip shots when you could easily plant your feet and dunk. Nurk has done that much less as of late and I haven't thought he was less cool because of it.

    To paraphrase what Goose said to Maverick:

    "OK Dame, let's see some of that superstar shit!!!"

    Turnovers and defensive rebounding killing our possession game.

    I hope I can watch the whole game tonight. I was watching the other night and our power went out at the end of the 1st quarter when we were behind. I missed the great last minute win. Hopefully we won't have to wait to see a last minute win tonight!
