    He's been underwhelming in team play as well. I don't know "hard" he's been working on the boards. 7 rebounds a game has been solid, no doubt. Not far off what one would expect given the amount of minutes he's getting.

    I'm not worried about him, but he's got a ways to go to be a quality NBA starter. Certainly has the tools to do so.

    A very accurate description... when he's good, he sure is fun to watch!

    Shae was shaky for a while there but he closed this game out and that was great to see.

    I never expected Dame to have a game-winning rebound.
    I never expected Dame to have a game-winning blocked shot.
    I never expected Dame to have a game-winning steal then fast break dunk.

    these are the things I expect from Shaedon Sharpe.

    It was crystal clear he was playing at 30% first 3 quarters and only at about 75% in the 4th. He had 2 to 3 gears he didn't even touch there.

    I hope that's not the case, but it's possible.

    I hated the Nate/Jerryd love affair.
    McMillan disliked real point guards.

    For sure. I was watching thinking he could so easily blow past all these clowns and get to the basket like nothing.

    I didn't care for him waiting out at half court for so long (I get running the clock was some of that). They kept doubling him. I'm yelling at the TV that he needed to explode like a supernova.

    I believe so, they were saying 14 and then he got a 3 more points, maybe 17 in the 4th.

    4th quarter shot chart for Sharpe was much better!

    Probably because Nate wasn't a real point guard, who played point guard.
