    We have to make work on defense we need Nurk sometimes in the offense.

    not gonna be a win unless someone decides to rebound. That is the difference in the game.

    Jokic posting up defended by Covington, Nurk stands right next with no player on him, we still defend Jokic 1on1, easy bucket Jokic. Pathetic Defense, at least Stotts is out after this series

    Reading through this thread I would think we're getting blown out by 40 in game 4 being down 0-3 in the series.

    He's magically supposed to put up numbers without touching the ball as if telekinesis is one of his powers.
