    Say what you want about our offense our defense hasn't looked this good in Years.

    Tired legs from playing D for once.

    We should bring in Mark Price and have him work with our shooters...we need a shooting coach

    The observation about the bench is right on but Dame having 25 while both Ant and JG have 10 each is pretty balanced scoring in the starting lineup.

    Grant is shooting 1-19 from 3 in the last 3.5 games. Ugh.

    I can see that....I know we either shoot well or defend well but haven't put both together for stretches.

    If we paint Nurk like a zebra I bet he would get 50% fewer fouls called on him.

    When Dame has that little flick on his three it's money. But I forgot that he's washed.

    Yeah there's nothing wrong with that play, it just can't be your only play and guys need to be running actions off of it. That didn't happen under Stotts.

    Second elongated crab dribble for Nurk that leads to an easy hook!

    It's not like Chauncey seems against Nurk besting. I think it's a decision that's happening on the floor.

    The last sentence is not an accurate statement.

    Allen has no chance of stopping Nurk from backing down. Use the beef.

    Hart has blown his fair share of 2:1 fastbreaks this season. Big 5 point swing.

    I really like Hart and that he is pushing the ball but he needs to play smart as well. Passing on a break is a good thing.

    It seems like missed layups always lead to 3s for the opponent.
