    Basically without Nurk we are the same team from before that plays really well when we are moving the ball and the 3 pointer is falling OR the team that looks horrible when when our outside shot isnt falling. With Nurk we don't have to rely on contested outside shots from piss poor screens and have a much more diverse offense.

    tl;dr I miss Nurk

    I just don't think someone who thinks Lillard is a better basketball player than Wall is worth arguing with.

    Wall is better at pretty much everything. 100x better defensively, best passing PG in the league, much better handles, 2nd fastest guard in the league behind WB, quicker than Lillard, better finisher at the rim, better FG%.

    Only place Lillard has an edge is being a much more consistent long range shooter, and even then, his average is only 3% higher than Wall's

    Evan Turner is on Wiggins, and now Wiggins doesn't score.
    HMM Stotts. why is this obvious to me, and not to you?

    Are you watching the game now? Towns is out. Wolves don't have a center on the floor. And now we are coming back.

    I don't understand the Timberwolves, they have the makings of an elite defensive team with an elite defensive head coach and they are worse than us defensively without Nurk on the court even...

    Turner can't switch. Needs to stay on Wiggins. He's the only one who slows him down.
