    Overlooked early season development: Nurk’s improved free throw shooting. He’s shooting 83%.

    Nurk has absolutely played like the Bosnian Beast tonight. Sharpe let off the gas pedal on offense in the second half, really deferring to his teammates which I guess isn't the worst thing for a rookie. It would be worse if he was ball hogging and forcing shit but he needs to start realizing how dominant he can be if he's going to convince others of that.

    I think Chauncey is giving Nas an opportunity to play back into the form that coach saw from him before his injury last season.

    Edit: But don't get me wrong I don't think Chauncey has Nas closing out close games right now or anything.
