    Since 1983-84 (Basketball-reference.com), only 14 other games have had a Blazer Scored 20+ points with 20+ rebounds.

    Nurkic scored 28 points tonight. The other Blazer with 28 points and 20 rebounds...... Arvydas Sabonis.

    You know Evan Turner is just chomping at the bit to get to play with Nurkic...ET was beasting the game before he went down he scored 24 pts..I think that's going to be a huge boost for the rotation...I also like that when we got bogged down Napier came in and got a quick 5 assists in about 6 minutes..he's a sparkplug

    While I'm gushing about Nurkic....something I've noticed is that he doesn't get in stupid foul trouble and when he does, it doesn't faze his game..he plays with 5 fouls just like he plays with 1 foul.

    I think ET's game will work well with Nurk's. Most of ET's points come in the paint. That's where most of Nurk's assists come from. This should be fun to watch.

    I love that Harkless has played so well with him as well. This could really jumpstart his season.

    That big man coach we wanted is here...and 22 years old...he's already making Vonleh and Leonard more effective ..everybody is stepping it up to keep up with his momentum...the lull is over.

    I don't know if Leonard is going to be consistently better with Nurk... he had an uptick, for sure... but there were stretches of play from Meyers that were just horrible.

    He's our Matt Bonner or Brian Scalabrine...5 fouls to rest Nurk...and he's played better since we traded for Nurk..so has Vonleh...it's not like lobbying for swish3 to start or get big minutes y'know

    If you want to move Meyers you should start hoping he beasts for the rest of the season....gains some trade value..that's what I think anyway

    The lapses in their play still kill any momentum we have. Vonley played well at the beginning today and Leonard actually had a decent game the other day. But we need to drop these clowns before next season. The bench has to get a lot better.

    Ed Davis will get patched up, Turner comes back and Leonard becomes foul fodder or DNP again..Olshey said we will add 3 new players off season..

    As long as they are premium talents I don't care if they are former Modest Mouse roadies.

    I don't see it as a good fit. Teams will just sag off Turner on P&R plays, and clog the lane

    Jusef has been our best player lately. This game was only close because Damian stunk it up. Damian really needs to learn how to be more efficient or he'll never be a star.
