    That was an encouraging start. He looked much more engaged. Maybe now that the deadline has passed he can relax and play free. It’d be pretty funny if we found out the guy we needed was here all along.

    I also noticed we barely posted up Nurk last night. That should continue. He’s got a lot of potential there but right now we should just let him fill the Steven Adams role while guys like Harkless get more plays run for them.

    I sincerely hope Harkless is the starting SF for the rest of the season, with Turner off the bench.

    I agree. Nurk needs to spend the summer working on his post and around the basket game. For now, stick to the percentages.

    you meant to say: I sincerely hope Harkless is the starting SF as long as he plays well

    As far as I'm concerned this is a developmental year. That goes for Nurk, Zach, Biggie and even Hark and hell I'd throw Baldwin out on the court when possible. Give Harkless extended minutes and let him play through the tough stretches.

    The guy seems like a head case to me. Can't bring it mentally on a consistent basis.

    Just like me on this forum.

    I changed my mind.

    Harkless would be an allstar if he matched up every night against Nicowuss Batum.

    Yeah it pretty much is. Especially Nurk and Collins. Both are young and look to be future starters. Both need to get better....and will.

    That means 40% of our future starting line up has been with us less than a full season. Collins needs to get up to at least 20 minutes per game though. I don't think it is essential that he starts now, but he needs more minutes.

    The problem is we do not apparently have a SF on the roster to develop.

    Hopefully Tatertotts will give Collins minutes.

    Best part about Moe is he no longer stores his mouthpiece in his SOCKS.

    I hear from Sly that Denny is talking about paying us to post here. Mentioned something about “twit-coin”?
