    No, you're just comparing his head to the HUGE one next to it.

    Towns is a terrible defender. I like to see at least 20 Points from Nurkic this Game

    I hate it when fans get excited when a big player from an opposing team is out. I'd rather win or lose when the team at full strength. So I hope Butler does play!

    Did I show any excitement in my post? I just linked an article. I am assuming he will play.

    Why? The win total at the end is all I care about.

    3 game winning streak, hope tonight we can make it 4 ad fall into a rythym. Must see collins next to nurk. Either way I think Collins getting minutes is huge and really improves the defense

    I would still go with Vonleh as starter PF, but with Collins as his backup surely

    I'm fine with that, as long as it means moving Aminu to starting SF.

    Chief should be taking minutes from Turner and Harkless at the 3, not Vonleh and Collins at the 4.

    Defensive Rating is not the end all, but both Dame and CJ were at 113 last year, and both are at 106 so far this year. That is a huge difference. DRTG is really a team rating, but it's clear something is working better.
