    I didn't realize Damian was credited with 7 turnovers.

    Passing has never been his strongest skillset

    I don't agree. If Blake and Wright and Wes would hit their wide open shots, Dame would have had more around 12 or 13 assists tonight.

    Also, at least one or two of those turnovers were from him stepping on the baseline.

    I had a coach once explain, assists come by getting guys shots they can make, not ones they miss.

    Blake? Three point shooter.

    Wright? Three point shooter.

    Wes? Umm.... yeah.

    Dame got all three of those guys wide open threes and they missed. It happens. They're not shooting 100%, but his assist numbers could be higher.

    Maybe it is? Now we'll never know because of his horrible teammates letting him down and ruining his double double. They should be flogged.

    Almost! I remember one game where he had six to's to go with 23 assists, I think.
    Friggin teammates should have been more alert, avoided those TOs.

    Would you fools quit bickering? That was one of the easiest end to end wins a year. No need to complain about anything

    I'll bicker your point, Denver on the road with 84 at halftime was the easiest end to end of the year.

    Can make doesn't necessarily mean WILL make. Not trying to argue, especially since I didn't actually get to watch the game, but there is a difference.

    By that logic anyone who inbounds the ball to Dame gets an assist.
