    Saying this for years
    Other people were whining about Dame's prime years being wasted. I replied to one that that was misguided. You replied to another with the same thing.

    I was making the point that we weren't allowed to just enjoy this performance and the win, you and I weren't.

    Anyway, I'm not wasting more of my time on this. I was trying to joke with you and enjoy the game a little more. Live and learn.

    I haven't seen one in my lifetime yet. I want to see and feel that awesomeness.

    Yes it was! I was in college at the time. Will never forget Walton slapping the ball out to Johnny Davis and watching him run out the clock to win the game.

    I misunderstood you ...sorry..not personal. Hard to read tone with typed conversations or sarcasm without green font.....it's all good. No need to stop joking just because I missed the joke bro

    We did win. But him being at a peak as a player and our inability to form a competent roster around him in a way makes it a tough pill to swallow.

    I’m not a fan of team sports because of accolades that an individual player receives.

    Just win, baby.

    I don't know how anyone judges Chauncey with the roster he's been given. There is not question that he could be more flexible with his coaching philosophies but if it's been made clear to Cronin that Chauncey has certain things that he will not bend on then Cronin has severely handicapped Chauncey with the roster he has given him.

    I think Chauncey can be a great coach if he has a roster full of switchable players on defense that can sufficiently hurt opposing teams on offense. Sure Chauncey's inflexibility seems to be a weakness with the current roster but the current roster fucking sucks and it fucking sucks even worse when it is framed in the light of Chauncey's philosophies.

    I really hope we can make a run to end the season around the 4th seed. If we do that, Dame could have a legitimate chance at the MVP.

    Yeah, given the team that he has, we can almost expect Dame to lead the league in ppg by the end of the season and increase his apg.

    Little now shooting 41% from 3 for the year. That number will drop but he looks like he going to be a very solid 3pt shooter.

    Just gets more impressive. The fact that he didn’t score 71 as a foul merchant either. Mitchell was 20-25 from the free throw line.
