    Nurk: 23 Minutes, 17 pts (on only 8 FG attempts) and 8 boards.

    Just looking at those numbers, you would say he played pretty well. It sure didn't seem that way in real time.

    How many of those guys played extensive minutes with C.J.? Mo Williams played when C.J. averaged 12.5 minutes per game. Not a good point at all. It's really hard to say that Stotts would play him or not. He played Curry, but he wasn't exactly a point. He played Shabazz. So maybe. But I also am not certain he would recognize DSJ's abilities and how they would help within his system.

    Great half of for this team on both side of the ball. Adjust on defense was they took the corners away from Memphis plus was more active. On offense besides Dame starting hit shots just more movement towards the hoop by players without the ball plus guards hitting them on the way to hoop. Tonight wasn't forcing the pass they took what was gave them. So give the coaches credit for the adjustment in the 2nd half.

    It's rare to give up 20 offensive rebounds and win by 20.

    WUT?

    this is Smith's 4th season. He's played in 181 games and has averaged 25 minutes. He's the definition of a vet

    That’s part of the frustration with Nurkic. If he played with more energy and intensity, those numbers would be even better. He has all the talent in the world.

    I’m talking 9th/10th man in the rotation. Rarely played.

    I really like Chauncey's rotations tonight...he staggered them really well....I feel like Larry got his stripes as a Blazer tonight...he played really well with Dame in the second half
