    Yes, unfortunately us international posters can't go visit the famous lady when HCP is travelling with the team. However, I have been able to get some sexy Skype calls going.

    And here I thought we were avoiding talk that equated Nurkic to religious figures...

    I cant help but wonder if he does break out like we all hope if it's not better for the team if he is the leading scorer for this team. Meaning Dame and CJ take a slight step back. Not drastic but maybe they each average right around 20 ppg. What I mean is that if Nurk was the focal point of our offense what does that say about the flow of our offense, the success of the season for Nurk and the team as a result? Would this make us better overall?

    I think if CJ/Dame/Nurk all avg'd near 20 PPG it would be a positive for our team with a triple threat balanced scoring attack

    All I know is that Nurk outplayed every center he played against after joining Portland.

    That includes Kanter and Jokic.

    So I care about more what actually happened on the court than what some writers think.

    To give Pat some comp. His contract isn't guaranteed.

    To be a shooter. I get that there might be some competition, but I don't think one has to do with the other, ultimately. Why wouldn't we want a shooter like Morrow?

    All 3 of them is good at either defense or offense but Nurk is more complete center.

    I thought you were going for more of a Medusa vibe seeing the picture.

    Then I read your post.
