    This team can't win when Dame shoots like that and this team really can't win... Player Dame, Gary, DJJ, Melo, Kanter, Ant, Nas and Giles only. Those eight guys are not going to beat almost any team. Then throw in a terrible shooting night from Dame until the very end and you get an obvious loss. It shouldn't have even been that close. Hats off to Ant and Gary for showing up though.

    The call was a challenge of a shooting foul. I don't think they have cart blanche to then look back at previous calls they may have missed. The hand check was before the shot. Maybe someone can clarify. Even so, Dame wouldn't have got 3 FTs.

    That was a game that we should have won. Puts us in 5th seed.

    Please show me when I mentioned the Laker win yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that, or the day before that, or the day before that.

    I'll wait.... Unless you're just making stuff up. You wouldn't do that though, right?

    The Blazers have hands down a better roster tonight than OKC.

    It's not even close.

    Unless you're shilling for Terry Stotts.

    We went down 17 early in the game, but never stopped battling. We kept it close, so at least our guys never gave up.

    On to the next game thread.

    Oh yeah, that's realistic. The guy can never have an off night. I don't care if everything was perfect. No new kids. Plenty of rest. I mean everything being perfect, even the best of the best are going to have off nights.
