    You can forgive Roco for a lot when he is making his threes.

    Funny how good defense will have you in a game that if you played shit defense you’d be losing badly

    For sure but when he's giving you a super-efficient 27PPG and good defense you take that any day.

    Dame making some head scratching decisions out there. Hurts the team going into halftime.

    Maybe Dame is so tried trying to play defense and no energy left on offense

    CJ has outplayed Dame on both ends of the floor in all the games so far. Lot's of shooters have been hurt by the new rules, not CJ

    Dude's still playing solid defense and taking up a ton of defensive attention making things easier for every single one of his teammates while playmaking for them at a high level. To say he's "hurting us a lot" is ridiculous.
