    Some of the worst offense we have seen all year.

    They’re not running anything on offense right now. It’s just Dame going one-on-one then kicking it to Ant to go one-on-one.

    Nurk has 5 fouls, so he can't cover up for the perimeter blow-bys nearly as much.

    McDaniels just grabbing and holding the entire time.

    I guess if you do it all game, they get used to it or figure they can't call it every time. If you do it infrequently, it stands out more and you get Billy Crystal blowing his whistle brains out in Jabbar's final game.

    Not just him and it's this type of defense that is keeping us from running our offense but there should be something we can do about that.

    Dude has been grabbing Dame all night and it finally caught up with him.

    No Gobert FTs and instead FTs for Dame.

    That works.

    Nurk out. This is where I wish Badji had got some run somewhere for when they really need his size. Love Drewbanks hustle, but he is just so undersized.

    Toronto came back 21 down with three minutes left in the fourth to force OT.
