Who do you think should start at center, assuming Nurkic isn't back yet?

    It could be that are could just be because he's still very young.

    I think this is prolly my biggest issue with coaching right now.
    Nurk in corner and side pick and rolls looks so much more comfortable when he has to make decisions imo.

    Nice ground out win.

    Credit to the Magic, they didn't give up, and pushed us to the end.

    wow. Lillard pulled a Felton. Hopefully he doesn't get fat like him next.

    We've won 5 of our last 6 road games. Crazy impressive.

    I am 100% certain Nurk will get better, but right now his mental mistakes are driving me crazy. As I said two months ago....he thinks he is a better passer then he actually is. Trying for the spectator pass way too often.

    but so did James Harden at 23 and look at him now....Nurk's way ahead of the big man curve in the modern NBA

    We have the 5th best road record in the NBA (3rd in West).

    Lillard wears the letter O. Felton was the letter O.

    Nurkic was obviously gassed in the fourth.

    And why the fuck was Collins taken out Just as he was getting into a rhythm
