    Like you do about Gruyère at the right serving temperature with the correct wine selection?

    Lot of players with big games. Dame and CJ obviously.
    Aminu started out slow but ended up having a very solid game.

    Is Western Conference Player if the Month within reach for Dame? He's shooting .506/.439/.885 for the month.

    Maybe Dame's meeting with PA was about who he didn't want to trade instead of who he wanted to bring in

    Lol @ Myers and Hark making 10 mil a year. Has any gm ever handed out 5 regrettable contracts in ONE offseason before?

    Don't think he has the wins. Curry putting up 30/7/6 over this month on nearly the same percentages

    Nailed it. As long is it the good cave-aged Gruyère. I would liken Pat more to Époisses de Bourgogne. It doesn't look like it should be good. But it will blow your mind if given a chance.

    Of course this was the game I had to skip - looks like a solid performance. Can't figure this team out whatsoever. Ah well, beat Dallas and keep the momentum going!

    Ezeli? At least it was for only one year.

    It was also the summer he gave C.J. his $106 million extension.

    CJ....he’s a good player but he’s paid like a stud.

    CJ deserves the contract. You know it is market value when 29 other teams would happily trade for the guy. No one trading for him is going to demand us taking back a bad contract or anything like that.

    Wiggins led his team in scoring, yet also had the worst +/- with -24
    Towns had solid numbers, yet I thought he would be better by now, even if he did make the all star team.

    I'm not sure why Towns didn't get more shots. He had an advantage every time he had the ball.

    CJ has started to pass the ball....you can see he's making the effort the last 3 games. He seems to be a second half shooter...

    CJ is the 3rd highest paid SG and 19th highest paid player this season. I can name 29 players id rather have, every team has at least 1.

    He is a very good offensive guard though.
