    It all means something. You know how you know you’re a good team? Because you beat the bad teams (thus, you aren’t one). Every win in regular season is worth the same towards qualifying for playoffs. Beating the good teams in regular season has no extra value. We could sweep the Jazz in regular season but it wouldn’t guarantee a single playoff win. If we beat Lakers on Dec 28th, does that mean we’re going to be a good playoff team? Not necessarily. So just sit back, enjoy the games, enjoy every win (the goal of the game), and then hope we deliver the goods in playoffs “when it really matters.”

    No, Chief is a much better player. Basketball is 90% composure. You can't stare down a ref, that's detrimental to the team. Aminu was such a smart player and skilled player. He gave 110% effort.
    But to your point, I think one game under my tutelage was what helped Sheed win a championship in Detroit. That's all it takes with me - one game. Without my guidance he would already be forgotten.

    I heard this stat on the radio on the way home from the game tonight. With his 7 3-pointers tonight, Dame moves into 25th place on the NBA all-time 3-pointers made list.

    Next up, Wes Matthews with only 6 more. He'll be climbing this list quickly over the next few years.

    They obviously haven’t been reading all of my posts on this message board. Which concerns me quite frankly.

    So far this week, Cj's averaging 30.3/6.7/4.3 on .576 FG & .435 3P. He's got to be a contender if he keeps it up and they win tonight. Then again Dame's averaging 31.3/3/8, but only on 50% FG & 41.4% 3P, so not quite as efficient.

    Can they get co-POTY? That'd be pretty cool.

    I heard last night that Dame & CJ have more dual 30 point games than any other combo in NBA history to date! Impressive
