    mm I get what you were doing Aminu, but 1 on 4 isn't really ideal there.

    We need Muscles Nurk in the Playoffs. Not Pussy Nurk.

    I'm not really surprised the Blazers are a little flat right now. I think they'll pull it together though.

    What the actual fuck are we doing around the rim

    We are literally playing as if WE are the Suns

    Nurkic looks like someone pissed in his coffee this morning and I’ll be the next one to do it if he doesnt sort this shit out

    Suns getting to many second chance in this game. Nurk 0-5 so far not good.

    Aminu and Nurk fight over more rebounds than I've seen from any 4 and 5 combo ever.

    It absolutely cannot be understated just how bad CJ is at Defense. Holy God man.

    Hood was the guy who fouled Booker.

    Hey, Kanter's defense was ok on that possession, could lift his arm at the guy shooting, but he was in the right area of the basketball court so that was good.

    I'm starting to feel like while Kanter has a post game it's not as good to force feed him on the block when he doesn't have a matchup advantage.
    Feel like Kanter needs to get most of his points from the offensive board and P&R instead of force feeding him on the block.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd be okay with that.

    That's not the play I was talking about. CJ got muscled out of the paint on a play, and I've seen it from him numerous times. He's just not a good defender.

    Someone said that while Kanter is playing, it's affecting Layman's performance. They explained it a couple games ago, but I can't remember how exactly.

    But I have noticed less from Layman with Kanter playing.

    This person who said it, also believes Layman is Bird 2.0
    This person also believes Layman can do no wrong.

    So take what he says with a grain of salt.

    When in reality most young bench players struggle with consistency and Layman is doing just that.
    But don't tell this to that poster, as he'll get angry.
