If we had traded for Melo over the summer, what do you think our record would be like?

    It was a good win to many turnover though. Our big 3 was over 20 point each Dame had his best game of the year. Nurk is finally finding his self.

    Almost perfect games by the big 3. Dame with 34 points on 18 shots and 13 assists. Nurk was 11-15, CJ was 6 of 9 from 3.

    Still a lot of late game errors though that almost cost them the game. Westbrook went 2-7 from the line, which won't happen often.

    The 2nd unit looked like crap though. Nurk and Vonleh were both +21, Turner and Davis were -16 so that shows you how much ground we lost due to the bench crew.

    Nurk busting out right as Vonleh comes back. Had his best stretch playing with Noah last season. Coincidence?

    Swanigan was in the wrong spots on offense a lot tonight. Really hurt the second unit along with CJ's over dribbling.
    Might think about not putting Swaingan on the court with CJ anymore. Just to see if that fixes the spacing issues.

    A bit of both. He was pressing earlier in the season. He looks like he's having fun again. Vonleh back helps because he gives him a dump option near the basket.

    The western conference is crazy. For all the frustrations and concerns we have had so far we are 1.5 games out of first place in the conference. I know its early but the point is the NBA is going to be challenge for every team each and every night. Makes it fun though.

    Lillard 36 points
    Nurkic 25 points
    CJ 22 points

    Everyone else combined 20 points
    Everyone else also had more turnovers than field goals
    Everyone else sucked

    The best +/- on the bench was -12, and we won.

    Yea I think there has to be a change up on the 2nd unit. I don't care if Stotts put CJ in with the 2nd unit but I would switch Napier to run that point. So it would be Napier CJ Turner Swanigan or Collins Davis.

    Sounds like you're the unrealistic one.

    Yes. Vonleh being out wasn't making Nurk miss shots or stand around the perimeter.
