    So fasting without food has a lot of benefits. Fasting without food or water while doing sedentary things isn’t bad either. Trying to perform as an athlete at the NBA level after going a day without water is really rough and always has been. I guess you just haven’t been following the game long enough to remember some of the struggles players maybe most famously Hakeem have had during Ramadan.

    Radio guys said Grant, Simmons and Nas are out tonight ....why would Nas be out? I didn't hear that...I think he needs to play and jump start his game...if it's another Nas injury...ouch.

    Nice. Watford is one of the players that knows how to throw a lob to Sharpe.
    Pretty sure Nurkic can do it too.

    Little is not having a good month. Hope he can get some mojo going before the season is over.

    I never want Simons in the starting lineup with Dame again. He's a ball magnet that takes away from other aspects of the offense.
    At least that's my feeling at the moment!

    Prepare to be disappointed. Odds are you'll see it hundreds more times.

    Personally, this seems very low on the list of issues.

    Stagnant offense is high on my list of things that needs to be fixed.

    Calabro is in on the tank: “Good start for the Blazers trailing by one!”

    Fair enough, though I don't see a real issue.

    If a top 10 offense is high on your list of what needs to be fixed. Where is the 27th ranked defense on your list of things that need to be fixed?

    When you've been getting boat raced by double digits in many games, keeping it close probably feels like success.

    They both need help. The defense is abysmal, and the stagnant/iso offense, no matter how good in the regular season, doesn't work in the Playoffs.

    I'm always up for getting better in all areas of the game. Certainly couldn't hurt.
