    I was impressed with the improvement. Active on D and good ball movent on offense. They got a lot of easy looks. Simons continues to get better. So much more confident going to the basket.

    I don’t like that they immediately MRI’ed it.

    CJ Elleby dunking a lob from Dennis Smith Jr. is not how I thought this game was going to go.

    Scary getting an immediate MRI. Hopefully an abundance of caution, or something like a sprain that he's out a few weeks but heals 100%

    Nurk couldn't play for over two years....you don't waste anything when you let a guy wear a suit and waive a flag....seriously...Nurk and Zach couldn't stay on the court....let's hope that's over now...Nurk played his best with Chief and Mo next to him...now he's getting back to that guy. I do think Roy Rogers is going to wake up the beast...Nurk looks a lot better with Dame and CJ playing defense and not leaving him or Enes on an island .......our guards defense lets Nurk play within his skillset...it's all connected...and Nurk needs fans...he didn't look the same playing in empty gyms during the lockdown seasons

    the way it was described....Powell going immediately to the locker room....is kind of worrying. And any time it's a knee it's already worrying
