    They don’t have kemba but this would still be a good win. They’re a decent team even without him. I think this is a bigger test than the grizzlies game was.

    I don't care what anyone says, peak Nurkic is easily an all-star caliber big man.

    Pushing the ball is overrated IMO

    Dame and that rim must be besties because that was a really friendly roll on the 3 ball

    I do expect a win by Boston. Just a gut feel and hope I’m wrong but 3 straight roads wins by 19+ can mean a coasting game for a team with two more winnable games next.

    Nurk sure has trouble finishing sometimes for such a big dude.

    Nurk and Roco playing good D. Was some good offensive movement early but it seems to be fading already.

    If they’re smart, they’ll want to avoid injury. HCA isn’t that important this year. Being healthy is.

    Kanter comes into the game. First possession and he gets scored on at the rim. Shocker

    Nurk goes out lead evaporates. We gotta find another defensive minded center in the offseason to back him up (I would say Collins, but we can’t rely on him until he proves his health)

    Ant forcing the jump ball. Good moving of the feet and hands on defense

    Right pretty much mix on the game. Starting strong and then kind fade after that.
