    Yeah. Having a center usually does that. We should have thought of that the past 20 years.

    Very impressive considering the non factor (due to fouls) of Nurkic.

    I feel like I've seen better big man play from him and Vonleh since getting Nurkic. I wonder if they're picking some things up from him in practice. No doubt he schools the shit out of them.

    This whole team has Nurkic fever. It's incredible how everyone is playing so much better.

    Had this talk with my college coach friend.

    "I don't know of the Lillard/CJ combo can work."

    "Why not?"

    "Lack of defense."

    "But Ripcityboy, nobody in the NBA really plays defense."
