    It will be intetesting to see how good....or bad, Indy is this year.

    Either way, Portland playing well defensively.

    Great start

    Nurk had a bad game, but he still impacted the game positively. Just his presence is a weapon for us.

    Indy will lose a lot of games, but they do have Leaf to be excited about. Pritchard is a fucking idiot for trading PG for a 20+ mil a year Oladipo and underwhelming Sabonis.

    Especially when he had better offers. Kevin Prtichlapped himself.

    I still say Nurk is too casual with his play. He can't get cocky because of one good month. His passes need to be more text book, stop with the no looks. I am fine with him shooting the ball, but not when he throws the ball at the basket. The refs are not his ally which does not help.

    Aminu has been key in both games; he was a +27, which for a 16-point win is really something.

    Our guards kicked ass tonight. CJ shows why he is so important to this team.
    ET is playing like I thought he would.....he is very valuable to this team. Not sure why people don't appreciate his post up game. We need it
    Dame is Dame and Pat......WTF is up with him. He is coming up huge.

    Aminu also played very well again. Nurk and Hark did not.

    What I said about Aminu last year I now say about Harkless.....please try not to put the ball on the floor.

    I know it has only been 2 games, but does anyone still want to argue with me about Pat (Chili P) being able to replace Crabbe in the lineup?

    I'm going to have to give coach Nate some props. He has his team playing hard. Their effort was night and day compared to Phoenix. Plus, he has his guys running in transition, which is Taylor made for his squad. Pritchard gets zero props for putting the roster together and fucking up the PG13 trade beyond all recognition.

    Look I know CJ, ET, and Dame played well. But we out rebounded them 51-39. That is why we’re killing teams.

    True Davis and Aminu came up huge. But CJ and Dame also had 7 each
    (Nurk and Hark combined for 5)

    Yes, but it’s all a factor of how strong we are inside.
