    Our frontcourt has gotten so much better compared to the start of last season.

    Great coaching is leaving the guy who's playing great in the game a little bit longer than normal?

    Good eye on that. I could see that there was something off about his form, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

    The Clippers should be a team that is in the hunt for a big name piece, they have a lot of talent, just no clear cut #1 alpha dog.

    SHIT! Why can't we convert fast breaks? We're like 50% at best on them.

    Considering we've had coaches in the past & even Stotts yank players when they're rolling to 'keep with their rotations'. I'd say yeah it's great coaching.
    Credit when it's due.

    Nurk's entire game has really elevated since the break. Tracking and blocking shots better, boxing out and rebounding well, taking and finishing better shots.

    Remember when certain posters wanted to trade Nurk and a pick for Jordan? Lol.

    I think he is has gotten stronger, like he lost a lot of weight in the summer and came in weaker but he has re-learned how to use his body.

    I don't know if it's a new development or a new bad habit or whatever. Maybe he's always done it, but I don't feel like he did. I do know that it doesn't help consistency to release the ball on the way down.
