    IDK. I've kind of liked watching new Meyers bang and elbow and get chippy and make shots since he started backing up Nurk. And Meyers is our best and most prolific pick setter. I like the new offense too. Don't really need Plums back. Sorry Plums.

    If Nurk can turn Meyers into a real live center, he'll be worth the max contract he'll surely command 16 months from now.

    Meyers even took two mid-range shots last night. I swear that's where he should be eating.

    Yeah! that fucking idiot, that's what I've been saying all along!
    I just don't get why he always fakes that three-->dribbles inside for a wide open J and then he passes the ball.

    Nurk's little push off to get into the paint isn't subtle lol but doesn't get called ever so I'll take it.

    No idea, but it's a line that's rarely crossed. Even shades of blackness seem to define player comparisons, like the recent one of Dillon Brooks to Richard Jefferson and Evan Turner. It's just dialed deep into our subconscious.

    He'll be so confused when he watches video. :) "You saying I can't jump?!"

    Sounds like Nurkic' mother. She left out the part about him never cleaning his room.

    To say Nurkic is making a 'big' impression may be understatement after last night's game. I don't expect that on a nightly basis but it wouldn't take much for him to be a 20/10/5/3 guy.

    He shold get 5-7 points a night just from the FT line. That leave around 7 made buckets of which 2 could easily come from offensive rebound putbacks. That means he only need 5 makes in the offense....seems very doable.

    10 rebounds? Uh....size/fundementals.

    5 assists? Harkless might be the receiver of 3 of those alone.

    3 blocks? Teams might start shying away from the inside a bit after continually running into the Great Wall of Bosnia but he will continue to affect and alter.
