    Mike Richman on the Locked on pod today said Terry apparently is adamant that Kanter will play regular minutes. Richman estimates 20+ every night.

    Not sure about that. I'm guessing that means we'll see at least a few mins of Nurk-Kanter together.

    Did anybody think any difference for Stotts wouldn't have Kanter backup Nurk. Offensely we will in that 2nd group but the other side of the ball what concerns me. That why I say Zach needs to play along side Kanter just for defense for that unit. But will see after the break.

    I hope so. It’s something worth exploring. He’s done it before in OKC with Adams.

    If the playoffs started today, we’d be playing the rockets. They start PJ Tucker at PF. Offensively, his involvement is pretty much just stand in the corner and wait for the ball. He is among league leaders in corner three point attempts. You can “hide” Kanter on him. And offensively that’s a huge mismatch. Kanter and Nurk would feast on tucker and capela.

    Going deeper, the Jazz are below the Rockets. If we played the Jazz, we could use Kanter at PF as well. They’re starting Favors and his backup is Crowder who doesn’t do anything offensively except shoot set threes. Spurs are similar with Bertans starting at PF.

    The more you dig, the better this move looks. Kanter could be a real X factor. All three of these teams will struggle to guard him.

    Nurk averages 27. That leaves 21 for Kanter. I don't expect anyone else to play at 5.

    That's nice but the problem is we don't play our big like that but I wish we did.

    Nice. However, all of that is against the Nets, so...

    But I swear Channing Frye was the last Blazers big to jump a screen and recover. Nice to see that Kanter already knows how to do this, because Terry sure wouldn't teach it. Hopefully Kanter goes rogue on defense every now and then.

    All those good plays shown in the video.....so the stuff we don't see must really be bad for his Defensive ratings to be so low.

    Man you can make anybody look like anything you want with the magic of editing. I could make Chief look like he has Kyrie’s handles if you gave me 10 minutes.
