    Well, Dame passed Chris Mullin at #82, but didn't quite overtake Lou Hudson for the #81 spot.

    Dame only needs 7 points to overtake Lou Hudson at #81, 16 points to overtake Calvin Murphy at #80, and 22 points to overtake World B Free at #79. The next game against the Spurs on Wednesday, we could see Dame climb 3 more spots.

    I've been reading the posts the last three games. I pleaded with Aldo to say one nice thing during the Denver game. Unless I missed it, I didn't see one. Then Saturday night and again tonight, all negative. He did try and say something nice about Jerami until he added the, "but he's going to be expensive" comment at the end. Aldo my man must be a real treat to hang around. I'm a pretty pessimistic guy but Aldo makes me seem like a glass half full kinda guy. Another challenge Aldo. Let's see if you can say a nice thing or two when the team is in San Antonio.

    He did commend the team's performance, in his Aldo way.

    True. But he ended with the, "it shouldn't be hard."

    You acknowledge Aldo's positive-ish posts the same way Aldo praises the team-- always with a caveat.

    How 'bout this one?

    I propose Outlaw's #25. Nobody ever accused that dude of over-thinking the game.

    Com’on man…he’s shown us WAY more than just his dunking ability already, and it’s been only how many games into his rookie year now?

    nice

    yep
    Dude, I might have to put you ignore. It’s getting tired, like a broken record, like you’re trying to piss me off. If I stop responding to you, you’ll know why.

    Good win that, finally a blowout, which has been coming for a while.

    Timberwolves look a poor team but you can only beat what's in front of you and we know B2B's can be tricky.

    Hart finding his shot and Winslow getting shots around the rim is a big positive. Lillard/Winslow on the floor together looks really handy imo.

    Nice to see Sharpe get some reps too!

    Of Damian's 11 made 3s, I counted 5 or 6 were catch and shoot. Good to see more proof he doesn't need to have the ball in his hand.

    I don’t understand this line of thinking. The games matter throughout the year. Why would we want to dig out of a hole late in the year?

    This one was important for sure. Winnable game on the home court against a divisional opponent before a long road trip. This win was taking care of business.
