    Whenever Nurk goed head to head with a skilled big he should play better. He's better than this. We can put in Zach if he doesn't want ti bang down low.

    Aminu's close-out on Olynyk... We jump on every pump fake and our closeouts suck.

    I know people think I hate collins but I think he's a better option at the 4 than Aminu, Aminu's defense has been why he's on the court, but his close outs all year have sucked...

    not a smart start by Nurk. Neither layups against whiteside or a 3 pt shot is a good idea IMO

    Aminu does that a lot; trying to help too much and leaves his three point shooter.

    I knew Nurk wasn't going to have it easy in this game. Whiteside didn't play in last year's game, and Nurk went absolutely ham.

    He's gonna have to man up and power through this.

    Fair take. If he matches him on defense though, I'd say it's a win.

    I don't mind the 3 point shot but he can't think about it, if he's gonna fire he can't take the time to look down, and all that like he did, it's gotta be a more natural shot than that. If he makes a few 3's that'll help clear out the lane for the guards. I don't want him shooting 8 a game, but 2-3 a game I'm alright with. The weak stuff around the basket, that just seems to be Nurk's thing lol.

    They are challenging Dame early and getting physical wuth Nurk. That's the EXACT SAME F-ING thing Washington did and it fucked it up. It's hard for us to win when we don't dictate the pace.
