    But he makes those look easy. If everyone could do it, they would.

    Got to admit, so far this season the kid has been a nice surprise. I am shocked, but he looks like he may be ready to be a valuable member of the rotation. I never would have predicted that. (just watch, now that I am feeling some optimism about him, he will crash and burn!)

    Nurkic must have the least dunks of a 7footer in NBA history I've never seen someone so afraid of dunking. For fuck's sake I think Andre Miller might have dunked it more often in his last season with us. It's so fucking irritating. If I was 7 foot tall I would have broken my Ulna's at least 17 times due to viciously dunking every fucking chance I got. GOD DAMN it makes me FURIOUS!

    Chauncey takes out Nurk in 3 mins for being a pouty bitch.

    Presumably he took out Sharpe to explain to Nurk what a DUNK IS!

    the kid is a baller. I definitely expect some growing pains but he’s going to be a good one.

    I can’t imagine how good this team would be with a center that could finish.
