    I think Nurk looks fine. His mistakes are just typical Nurk mistakes. Compounding bad plays with more bad plays. He needs to calm down.

    Simons is good at one thing. I mean.... I'm glad he's good at any thing, but dude needs to add to his game.

    2 quarters and I can already tell Norm knows how to play proper defense better than most of the team.

    Are you talking about shooting 3's or dunk contests?

    Well, dunk contests unfortunately don't help us win games.

    Reality check. Kanter as awful he is on defense still way better than nurkic. I think it’s imperative that nurk doesn’t play more than Kanter in minutes moving foward

    The sad thing is that we have the role players to win a championship. Guys like RoCo, Powell, DJJ, etc. We just don't have the the #2 star that puts us over the top. You add another legit superstar to this team and we could win a title.

    Gary has 6 points in 23 minutes in Toronto. 3/8, no rebounds, no assists.

    That's a very Gary line.
