    Amazing game. Thanks @HolyBackboard for thr company and the drink. Glad to watch the game with someone who can yell all game with me. Collins was on point in the first half. Dame every game #Dametime Nurkic destroyed tonight. The pick and roll was beautiful. #letthebeastfeast

    Kind of glad the game ended up being close. Hopefully they will learn more from this than a blow out.
    Nurk played calm and did not rush anything. Zach just keeps getting better too. I am happy with 4/5 of next season's starting 5.

    Well of course a team's best player is going to be a difference maker, I didn't know that's what he meant by "basic".

    Last game they were +6 without him against Golden State btw, which shows how meaningless that stat is for one game.

    They don't, but they're fools. Nurk had the talent, but they couldn't see it. Yes Jokic is a special offensive talent, but Nurk has the potential to be one of the best 2 way centers in Basketball. We lucked out in that deal. "bout time.

    Sure health matters (to every team), but if by "interesting," you mean "hang with GS or Houston" in a seven game series, let's not get carried away. Playoffs are a different beast.

    Nurk beastin' today and Dame with his usual kick ass performance. Collins just guess better and better. This team could be the beginning of something special.

    What i like most is that it finally seems that Nurk has given up the soft finger rolls on every attempt at the basket. He scores at a better rate and gets to the line way way more.

    Agreed. That sucked. Aminu needs to step up or he will be passed up by Zco.

    Nurk & Collins have potential to become one of the most dominating frontcourts in basketball. Both are young, and very talented. The future is bright.

    Not one poster on this forum is important enough to be in my head.
    You both are going at the wrong person here.
    Shit thing I harp on HCP about is when the truck misses something.
    Rest of the time I really don't care because as I've said directly to him. His posts should be treated exactly like KS' posts.

    Have a nice night.

    You would think after 10 straight wins and 5th best record in the whole NBA that I would believe in this team a little more. But the reality is I agree with you. I love teams who play way over their heads......like this team. But come playoff time we can't rely on Dame bailing us out every single game. I think we have a chance to win the first series. But yeah we lack one more shooter to stay with GS and Houston in a 7 game series. None-the-less right now....they are fun to watch.

    He’s gonna get traded to OKC on draft night as PG will tell Sam Presti that he intends to sign elsewhere after we take the Thunder to pound down in a gentlemen’s sweep in the first round this season.
