    Missed opportunity @Darkwebs. Poll Q should have been, which would you prefer: Stotts or Nash?

    They matter to me. It was fun watching Simons hit 9 threes in a row. Live in the moment.

    Durant and Kyrie were out the first time and we lost.
    Harden is out for this one and perhaps again one of the other two.

    That might give us a chance.

    better scorer, better rebounder, less turnovers, less fouls, better field goal percentage, better free throw percentage. the only thing he lacks is defense and that sweet spin move.

    easy:

    utah had Al Jefferson and Rudy Gobert
    OKC had Steven Adams, however Kanter's first year with the team, he was a starter
    he started in New York
    Portland - he started cause of Nurks injury
    Boston - i really have no clue why he didnt start. the only thing i can think of is they are a team that relies heavily on their guards.
    Portland - he should be starting.

    Looks like Kyrie will be out. KD isn’t on the injury report so looking like he’ll play but not sure how much since he played last night.

    POR is actually favored by 2.5 points.

    name one starting center in the nba today that:
    1) is a liability defensively
    2) Doesn’t space the court
    3) doesn’t pass the ball

    There’s a reason why Kanter has been a backup essentially his entire career, especially in the modern game— “Can’t play Kanter.” He wasn’t even in Boston’s rotation in the playoffs last season. Stotts is the only coach dumb enough to not only play him significant minutes, but to also pair him with Carmelo Anthony.

    Without Harden or Durant the game is very winnable but only one outcome can tell us anything now. If we win we beat a shell of a team so we can't really learn anything about our team from that. If we lose, then we can really start to see clearly that we will be in the play-in tournament and most likely not make it out of it.

    brooklyn is stacked, often theyve been playing without one or two of kyrie, durant and harden and yet theyre 1st in the east

    they dont have much rim protection, so this is the game where nurk & kanter should do big damage to them, but also dame & cj & powell should attack the rim
