They've got a very favorable schedule through November... but look at their December. Holy crap is it tough! From 11/30 through 12/30, they have 16 games in 30 days, only 5 home games, and none of those together. That's basically a month-long road trip--an entire month of never playing in the same city twice, and only having 2 days off between games one time (after Christmas).

Brutal.

The problem with what you're saying is, if any of these teams decide after seeing film that they can cover Dame with anyone one on one, then they're still fucked. The fact is we haven't had this well rounded of a starting lineup the entire time Dame's been here. We also have absolute dawgs on the bench and one more who has yet to play. I think our lack of size on the bench might be able to be exploited but other than that we're a pretty good team.

I didn't see it as a "Problem with what I'm saying"
Pretty much agree with everything you posted. Just said it different. Lillard has options and support on defense. If they don't cover Lillard he will smoke them. Now it's obvious Simons and Grant will as well.
By the way. I cannot say this enough. Nurk "the beast" might be back!

did they re-hire David Kahn as GM?
 
Now Ingram is out with a concussion too.

I saw him get completely rejected on a dunk attempt. Not sure if that was when he got injured, but it wasn't pretty.

He didn’t get injured on these plays though.
 
I voted 5 in Oct....who are the other 3 and WHO are the 4 that voted 6?

Twist it however you want, he's wearing street clothes after a failed dunk attempt.

I’m not twisting anything. He had his shot swatted (after swatting another player) and had a horrific fall. That’s why he’s out. Just like Ingram is out with a concussion.

And I just wanted to share with you what he had accomplished up until then. Since you hate him and his game so much, HA!, just wanted to share with you that the kid is skilled.

I never said I hate him, twisting things again. I don't need you sharing tweets to know that he is skilled. I have eyes.

this illustrates Ant's biggest issue; and it's the same issue that limited CJ. You have to get to the FT line to be an elite player in the league. Ant hasn't been able to do it. He has a career FT Rate of 15.5%; CJ's career mark is 16.3%. Dame's career mark is 33.6%

this isn't all just due to style of play; there's some significant BBIQ in having a higher FT Rate

Yes both Ant and CJ are good 3pt shooters and good pull-up midrange shooters. So not a lot of FTs with either. Yes Ant avoids contact with his drives...because he is athletic enough to do so. Which takes a high BBIQ. Not really sure I want to see him take a pounding like Dame when he drives to the hoop, nor flop on his 3pt shot trying to draw a foul. But because he has great hops, I would like to see him throw more down. He will also get more respect from the refs as time goes by, hopefully without throwing his arms in the air every time he shoots....even though that technique seems to work on the refs.

You seemed to have had a negative slant on his injury. Mentioning his shot being blocked, but not the crash to the floor from 10 feet up. My bad.

The first run through I thought it was a dirty foul, but the replay shows it was just a clear block and a horrible landing. Hope he's ok.

Yeah Clarkson swatted his shit. Glad the refs didn’t call foul.
