    Not sure about the criticism of Dame right now. He's basically doing what we all want CJ to do. Passing up contested jumpers and getting wide open looks for his teammates. Taking the good looks he's had and only a couple of bad ones. He'd have 10 assists if his teammates hit half of the open shots he gave them in the first half.

    Aminu seems to be thinking he's CJ tonight.

    Sure but he's so not locked in on defense outside of like one play and we know he can be much more aggressive if he wants to be. I'm fine with him taking a step back for Nurk.

    CJ would be so much better if he got his shots within the flow of the offense like that wide open 3.

    Hey Stotts.....ball movement actually WORKS. It's not some kind of conspiracy.

    How strange... We went up 10 as soon as we started running the offense through Nurk....

    I think all of maybe 2 of his shots have been.

    He's missed a lot of good looks tonight.

    Every time Nurk gets a rebound a small Bosnian boy gets a sweet cheese strudel for the first time.
