We did just lose to these guys but let's hope Dame can keep it rolling and that will be the difference between a loss and a win.
 
I want to win this game solely because I would be right on a poll question from like 9 games ago lol
 
Ja and Clark out....this should be a payback game.
They’ve been playing better without Ja (we blew them out when Ja played). Just completely wrecking the league. They’re knocking on the door of the 3 seed.
 
Can Nurk stay on the court? Took three minutes to get him in foul trouble last game. When you have to pull your starter before the 9 min mark in the first quarter it doesn't usually turn out very good.
 
They was out last time we played them and you know the outcome of that game.

Yes....just attempting to keep my rose-colored glasses on.

Otherwise, since the Spurs also won last night, we are basically still tied for the #6/7 Lottery spot.
 
one swallow doesnt make a spring (i.e. dame great game)

it depends on if he goes full retard or not

Um, terrible metaphor. If you didn't see that Dame was moving differently last night and shooting the ball with much much better form than he has all season, then wake the fuck up. I guess those things could be a one off but what is more likely that he is returning to the form that we've seen for years and years or that he will be forever stuck in the place we've seen him in for two months? Add the context of him just receiving new treatment for a very real injury nine days prior and it makes your analogy even more preposterous.
 
has anyone ever come up with a logical reason why Memphis traded Valuciunas for Adams?
 
Two first rounders and ridding themselves of Bledsoe?

that's not what happened

they traded a 17th pick for a 12th pick, so that was not gaining a 1st, just moving up 5 slots. The other 1st is a top-10 protected from the Pels, and the Pels are currently in 4th place in the lottery. That pick very likely won't convey so just becomes a 2nd round pick

they didn't "get rid" of Bledsoe in the trade either. Bledsoe was traded TO menhis then traded for Beverly and Rondo. Rondo they just waived. If you track thru all the subsequent trades. all they ended up with is Jarret Culver who has averaged 8 minutes

so then, what it looks like they did is traded Vaunciunas for Adams, moving up 5 slots in the draft, and a 2nd round pick, and a scrub
 
I'm kinda ready to stay at home and watch a game. They need to go get one back this game. It would be nice to see them do that.
 
lets see if the last game was a catalyst for a better play and more wins of course
 
How cool would it be to actually win a road game? Go Good Guys!!!!
 
Nurk has to be stronger. Posterized by a guy who weighs 40lbs less.
