    Had a couple no calls to start the fourth, home cooking at its finest. Also played PG decently defensively though Indiana really didn't go to him until down the stretch.

    I thought he could have waited for the defender to fly by and take the shot ...

    The only way to regain that confidence is to make them in games.

    Whatever you feel. Demar is effing raping right now pretty much taking no 3s at all. As long as there's others that can stretch the floor, let him do his thing. What if he gets an and1 there? He did say himself he shoulda took it.

    No story here, tomorrow will be fun.

    Getting buckets and getting to the hole. Don't really blame him for passing on that 3 vs the pacers.

    It's just that the word you used has a very negative connotation to it. Pretty sure that's what his 'wut' was about

    *off topic observation* though i fully agree that using sexual violence metaphors for on-court activities is not desirable, i was struck thinking that the "more appropriate" phrase was that derozan was "killing" right now...and then i was like...wait...that's worse...right?

    Killing is value neutral (though perhaps mildly insensitive). There are justified killings and unjustified killings. Rape is by definition wrong.

    BTW, I've already objected to over the top language of this type from announcers - like when Marv Albert said LeBron James threw down a dunk "With no regard for human life." I mean, that's asinine.

    Clarkson was so-so on offense but he kept up his defensive intensity. His passing for those alley oops were key in the first half finding Black on a couple.

    My bad y'all... I didn't mean it like that, if you knew me you'd know I was 1000% joking with a huge smile on my face. Meant absolutely no harm, with this reaction I got I am now aware how some feel can feel so it's best I avoid it and sorry if I offended anyone.

    Great dub dub out there today. Dub dub as in W!

    Get your hops back Jordan :p First an ordinary fastbreak dunk, then a missed wide open alley oop. I'm disappointed ;)

    That missed alley pop, smh.

    He made some timely baskets down the stretch. We know what we'll get from him, just needs to be more consistent.
