    They call this the "flow" offense, but this year there is no flow at all.

    On a serious note, we need to start trusting Nurkic more, especially late in games. Those miracle shots are cool but Nurk needs to develop that low post game. He can get to his spots against anyone, all that needs development is his patience and decision making. That only comes with opportunity and time.

    I've never been less stoked about a win. Kuzma was wide open and barely missed. What an ugly ass game.

    I am really happy we won. Especially against the Lakers. But all this win does is give Stotts another game to coach. If we had lost he would of definitely been on his way out. No way in hell should the Lakers be allowed to score that much on our home court.

    Yea after Nurk had two buckets in a row down low CJ was wide open for three. It's all about being able to draw the double team. Also need to get much better at entry passes for once.

    He's got to work on those hands. Keeps knocking balls around. He's off balance. Especially late in games.

    Walton is a good coach. Those were two excellent drawn up plays at the end. More than I can say about ours.

    On the catch on both of their last 2 3-pt attempts, no one was near the shooter. Closing out after the fact is no going to do it.

    Exactly right. If that doesn't go in, the amount of posts on why did Dame go 1-on-1 with no passes for the final possession would have been justified. Shot went in and you can't take that away but it wasn't a good possession. How many times does that shot go in?
