    That's a damn good question. Had to really think about it. I said offense, but he does help shore up the perimiter defense deficiencies.

    Also, I'll be missing this game because of work. Before, I didn't feel too bad missing the games. But, with the addition of Nurk, I want to catch the games, because it finally feels like we have a path...

    Seems like at least the starting lineup, Blazers and Wizards are very similar; Everything except our crappy record

    Wiz have been playing some good basketball and will be tough to beat as long as they aren't on a let down due to second night of b2b. Low key big game for both teams. Wiz trying to get that Home court in the East.

    I don't think Washington will be an easy matchup for him. Gortat has size and will bang with you.

    I went with offense but it could go either way...offense because he's been there to finish at the end....Aminu gets my defensive award for the end game.

    Its why he threw the ball away with 11 seconds. He wants to play defense.

    Oh, he gave up the tying basket by not rebounding? Damnit.

    ;) we still won... But damn. Haha.
