    If you miss 4 shots but the 5th is a game winner it's all that matters. CJ was always the opposite...

    Maybe I need to spend my free time combing over old ass posts too.

    That's fine, but Dame doesn't exactly have a ton of time where he's still going to be Super Dame.

    Conversely - Ant had one good game, TIME TO GO BUMP SOME THREADS!!!1!1111

    At least you are still here in support. Others seem to have bailed. Their loss to not enjoy this ride.

    Man, I don’t know what this kid has to do to convince people that he’s special. He’s shown vast improvement in a short amount of time. I mean, just this time last year he looked absolutely terrible and unplayable. Look at him now. The improvement in a year is astounding.

    Snark for snark Plat.

    Don't dust off your snark blaster if you can't handle a shot back.

    What does that have to do with this? We're not talking about Ant as a talent. We're talking about how Ant and Dame fit together.

    They specifically mentioned that they were not bumping it to call you out, just to discuss the pairing and you're still getting sensitive about it.

    You don’t trade this level of talent for fit. This isn’t the NFL. You find ways to make it work. And hopefully it’s starting to show that it’s working.

    Um...Can you point out where I actually sent any in the first place?

    As I noted earlier, I didn't post in this thread to call you out at all. I chose this thread because it was the first Dame/Ant thread title I found, and I didn't feel my post was worthy of being a thread-starter. I'm sorry you feel attacked, but that certainly wasn't what I was doing.

    We should be talking about how all three guards fit together, not just Dame and Ant.

    Right now in my mind, that is:
    Dame, Ant, and Hart
    or
    Dame Ant and GP2
    or
    Possibly Dame, Ant, and Sharpe. Personally, I think Sharpe will be a SF

    or
    Dame, Hart, and GP2.

    There's still an argument to be made for dealing Ant for another 2-way forward with some decent size (after January 15th, of course)

    I'd say you don't have a keen eye for this sport.

    Sure but what level of talent are we talking about? Siakam......absolutley. But who needs a shooting guard that has an extra 2-way big? Those guys seem hard to find.

    The ultimate grand slam would be going after Durant...... but we'd have to blow up the team to do it. Ant is only like half his salary.
