    Nurk always been and will be a soft overrated guy who uses about 40% of his talent

    Imagine if we traded Cj for ben Simmons and had both lillard and Simmons not able to shoot.

    Did you hear that Morey? McCollum is "one of the unstoppable guys in the halfcourt".

    You can’t play zone when 3 of your players (Dame, CJ and RoCo) have zero spatial awareness! They are constantly out of position and over helping. Zone defenses rely on spatial awareness.

    They way over help and hardly ever pay attention to their guy. It's good to know where the ball is, but you gotta know where your guy is at all times.

    This. I’m at the game screaming why are we in zone. 2-3 players each possession have no idea who they’re supposed to be guarding.

    This game could be a blow out they have 13 offense rebounds but they only score 6 off them we rebound are defense boards due we might not be so lucky. Defense there good staying in front majority but if half ass putting your hand or don't put at all it doesn't help.

    That said our offense is sputtering because Dame can’t hit a shot. And if he can’t hit a shot that means less good looks for others.

    Saying this for years
    Good job defending Morant so far ... buuuuuuuuuuuut ...

    I thought we were going to give up fewer corner 3s and shoot more corner 3s. The last couple games haven't deviated much from Stotts offense except we don't run that pitch and guard curling around the top anymore. It's just one screen, dribble and shoot. Still too many turnovers, too.

    Also, can we please hit the defensive boards?

    Still can't believe we traded two 1sts for RoCo. Yeah, we might not have done anything with the picks ... but if we kept one maybe we could have traded for another piece that would have helped us.

    And Nurk ... he's allergic to energetic play three out of every four games. I'm sure he's just playing himself into shape. He should be there by July.

    Good play by Ant, though, and good effort from Nas.
