    Maybe. But a healthy Nurk can handle Gobert fairly well in my opinion.

    Noah returning could improve our rotations, I'm guessing Stotts makes him a starter and then we'd have a much stronger bench with more options but Stotts needs to start being more free flowing with the substitutions, not stick to these fixed rotations

    Vonleh will properly get some minutes but not as a starter yet. He properly not in game shape yet.

    Is it the same Vonleh that was here last year or he magically turned to Brandon Roy?

    I don't think vonleh was injured. He was more like "making his shoulder stronger" (I think this is right). We'll see tonight. And it's a big game, I hope we can win

    I'm afraid this game will be another big bummer. We haven't done well against mobile shot blocking centers or teams with big shooting guards. Add to that Aminu being a bad match up for Favors. I wouldn't mind seeing Vonleh start because of the match up, but I would be surprised if Stotts did it.

    I feel like the league has moved to a model where all five players are at least average defenders, with the guards being plus defenders--and we didn't get the memo.

    Seems unlikely Noah Vonleh will jump into the starting lineup right away. But it's worth noting how well he played off of Jusuf Nurkic

    I hate to say it, but it only took 7 games for me to lose confidence in this team.

    Too early to say of we suck or not. Look at the Warriors. The league got shaken up big time this off-season and things haven't leveled out yet. If we play like dogshit tonight I will be pretty pessimistic, but I do think it's too early. Plus were over .500 at the moment, so we're not complete slouches. I'm really hoping Noah shows up big tonight.

    There's a difference in saying one has lost confidence and saying a lot of the stuff you and whats his face said.
