    yeah, outscoring a WC playoff contender 65-38 in 18 minutes of gametime is....lights-out.

    True, but they were down 3-15 five minutes into the game. I don't know the context of what Dame said, but I would imagine he was saying that they can't make a regular habit of waiting five minutes to start playing.

    All too true. Given that the first quarter of this season is filled with winnable games, I'd say that getting off to a good start is important not only each game, but in this stretch of the season too.
