    Classic Stotts. He’s doing that shit he did on Vonleh.

    It was a two-for-one. Stotts called for it.

    That's the thing about Nurk sometimes even in his "eye test" bad games he puts up the stats. But for the record I was surprised too about the rebounds

    Bench score 19 that half not bad. Nurk already double double.

    My take so far this year is theyve made it almost impossible to play perimeter defense. If you get close to the offensive player its a foul, if you back up they will shoot over you, and if the guard runs straight at the defender it is also a foul.

    This is why everyones scoring 120 points every game now...

    With Howard out, they should be doing a lot more PnR. But so far.......:dunno:

    The perimeter defenders have to do a better job and stop leaving Nurk on an island.
    Nurk has a serious advantage this game.
    The only issue is the Morris/Wall P&R that will be difficult for anyone to defend not named Anthony Davis.

    It feels like rec league. Where everyone just dribbles the length of the court for a couple of hours.

    Random comment but Hurd is sounding like Obama with his pauses and cadence. It's cracking me up

    Just feed the beast inside and this game should be the Blazers.

    But it ain't happening that way.

    Dame and Wall were both basically just attacking the paint over and over and both got a ton of ft’s because of it. Not really sure how you ‘can’ guard that with the way fouls were being called.
