    It was a shame that we had the bonus half way through the first and didn't get any non shooting free throws after that. For those of you who claim Dame does nothing but walk the ball up the floor, you haven't been paying attention. He hasn't been pushing the ball by running it up the floor off of turnovers and rebounds but he's constantly hitting the quick up court pass. I think Dame will have a big time shooting second half.

    Here and there, sure, but 3 in the 1st quarter isn't a trend that anyone is clamouring for. But please, continue with you hyperbole as usual.

    You are expecting Hart to be a scoring threat?

    Oh I could go find you the multiple posts by people thinking him shooting 3s was good for our team. You don’t remember that?

    Was being down 11 before that after a 10-0 start something other than negative? I'm hoping the second half looks more focused like that last stretch. It's a very winnable game if so.

    Nurk needs to learn to flop.

    It's about context. Stop with the straw man arguments. Nobody is/was advocating for Nurk to be the guy you go to late when you need a buzzer beater. There is nothing wrong with Nurk shooting a timely 3 in the correct context.

    Dame dribbles the entire shot clock out then throws the grenade to Ant with 4 seconds left. What are you doing Dame????

    Nurk with one of the dumbest 'save the ball under his own basket' plays of all time. Jesus.

    Yet, he's 1-4, while Lillard is 1-6. We have bigger problems.
