    Getting their bigs in foul trouble works...we need to do a lot more of that until Nurk gets back...Vonleh, Turner and Chief played great defense tonight

    Can Allen shoot with this much confidence every time?

    Nurkic' cockiness rubbed off on everyone when he was on the court. They played fearless and with attitude and kicked everyone's ass. Without him were back to being a bunch of betas.

    What do you mean all the time? He's literally a top 5 shooter in the league.

    This games was no energy on defense in the 1st half. 2nd half there was alot energy on that side of the ball. Great hustle by Vonleh and yes he fought his ass off on the boards. Crabbe was dial in and Aminu was great on defense and so was Turner. When Dame wants to play D he diffently can he show me that 2nd half. Great win by this team and the magic number is 2!!!!

    Confidence. As in pullup 25 foot shot with 23 on the clock and turn before it goes in. Play with an edge instead of being passive and lackadaisical

    Chill with the AC defense. I actually like the dude.

    Yeah but we will still have to include all of our draft picks for the next 5 years in order to trade him......

    I'm not sure it was their attitude that shrunk so much as their height.

    "Why can't he shoot like this all the time?" He says when Crabbe sets a season high mark for threes made by a bench player.

    That's only part of the problem. Dame and CJ have been invisible.

    My favorite is he's about as consistent with his shooting as he can be, yet you'll still find a "if only he was consistent" every game thread.
