Like that win against the Nets, but it came a little too hard. DeMar looks like he's forcing some shots, at least from the stats -- 14-of-35 from the field is not good. He needs to play more to his strengths and lay off a little, but I think he smells that MVP chance.

Settle down, young buck, it's a long season. Nice win.

Demar's 35 shots is the least of my worries at this point. We've given up 75+ points in the paint in the last two games.
