    This team is hard to get excited about. When you have THE worst defense, perhaps in history, you should at least be able to shoot 20%

    rubio is getting away with a ton of contact.

    what else is new, handchecking is allowed against dame.

    If Dame got calls the way that Dwyane Wade used to get calls, he'd average 12 FTA a game.

    Yes, this is a very rational mindset. The goal of each possession is to get a quality attempt. If you're getting quality attempts and missing, don't change your strategy. If Dame missed 4 wide open threes, I'd still want him to take the 5th wide open threes because the 7000 previous attempts of his tell me it's a great shot for us.

    Sooner later our defense going to falter and usually happens in the 2nd quarter. So the way we shooting we might be in trouble and Trent shot has gone south.

    He is making too much to be a backup for us.

    i love kat, man. would trade both CJ and Nurk for a chance at this guy.

    has a chance to be the best offensive big man ever if he can sustain this effort

    Most likely will be a first round sweep.

    Let's be honest... he's going against one of the worst interior defending teams in the league.
