    Lets see if Dame can take a real assignment on defense or will he carry on defending the Cory Josephs of the world...

    I didn't vote; I don't think fans in general under-rate any of those guys.

    Keep beating up on these sub .500 teams, build chemistry and build momentum.

    I think fans tend to overrate offensively and underrate defensively. Some will deride a player like Whiteside who puts up league high numbers in some cases, but then celebrate another player putting up lesser offensive numbers who is just as bad or worse defensively. It's why we are called fans/fanatics.

    I thought I heard Hurd saying Dame wanted to guard against him.

    Didn't vote on the poll: Blazer fans only overrate, not underrate...

    Is Nurk going to play? I haven't heard an update from last night.

    It’s Melo. He’s become the scapegoat after pretty much every loss. But we don’t win last nights game without him. It wasn’t the first time he’s carried us in the fourth and it won’t be the last. The bigger issue is Stotts; how much he plays him, and who he plays him with.

    I would say Stotts is really the catalyst of most of the anger. I think people know Melo is Melo. We know what we're going to get from him. It's still extremely frustrating when he doesn't pass or he doesn't play defense, but I have accepted who he is. The problem is with the man who won't adjust his rotation when things aren't working.
