    Offense with Nurk on the floor is creating a lot of open shots that I haven't seen before he got here. Plum was good passer but it more back door play or running on break. Nurk doing it all plus hitting players in there sweet spot. Yes he is the best passing big man we have since sabonis. He getting Dame and CJ open just by his picks. There less one on one play by guards now.

    It's fun to have a low post player again

    I'd love to have had Nurkic from the start of the season. I'd guess the team would have around 15 more wins than they do right now.

    I love me some Nurk, but I have it on good authority that the adjustments on defense against us haven't really taken place......At least completely. A janitor I know works for the Wolves, and I expect that team to defend Nurk and make the guards beat them......which is funny to hear

    Sure, and Nurk only knows half of the playbook so far and his teammates are only just beginning to figure out how to play with a large, skilled center. It's just possible that there's more improvement to be had than what we've seen to date.

    What was Mark Mason saying after Nurk made a basket?

    That same 10 win team dropped 122 on the supposedly good defense in Memphis tonight. And won.
