    You really have to find humor in Stotts bringing in Melo, Hood, and Kanter while we’re getting abused on defense. lol. He doesn’t think at all about matchups. He has his rotation and he doesn’t give a fuck.

    Watching Nurk make no attempt to get in position for a rebound and then stand there as another post player on the other team goes up for a post shot while he is literally doing nothing to attempt to affect the shot makes me really upset. Nurkic was probably my favorite player, but the lack of effort is obvious.

    So far we've used our base defense, hedging on balls, and a match up zone. The effectiveness has also been in that order.

    My new nick name for Nurk marshmallow man. He actually dunked a ball instead of these soft finesse shots. He plays like 6’8” instead of 7 foot

    That’s going to be the theme of the season if we get good Nurk or bad nurk

    This match-up zone is a horrible experiment.

    Probably a bad move on his part to ask those guys to make more reads.

    Raptors can’t score so naturally they light us up.
