    ET had that one really bad turnover, but other than that the team played well when he was on the floor. He was finding the open man.
    No problems with Turner last night. He led the team in assists and was the team's 2nd leading rebounder.

    I know. He does their TV broadcasts. I always avoid them on league pass. It takes a special kind of asshole to say something like that. I really hope our team sees this and gets even more angry

    OKC is a team that deserves disdain. DEN is a club you can dislike, but they're deserving of respect.

    I didn't take that seriously, and neither should anyone else, IMO. It's just rival banter.

    Now, if he said something like "Fuck, I hope Nurk's other leg breaks, his father dies in a pile of pig shit, and his mother sucks cocks in HELL!" Then yeah, that's going too far.

    Serbians also strong allies with Russia; I am so glad Nurk is Bosnian, not Serb.

    I love having him out there. He's our Tasmanian devil. I just wish he would wait a few minutes before he fires up his first 3 of the night...he almost always misses those. No doubt he has a lot of confidence in his shot, which I like, but still .....maybe run up and down the court a few times first?

    Turner had some big rebounds and held his own out there. A very very good pass to zach and it was needed. One bad turnover, but that can be said for anyone. CJ and his play (the two of them were toying with Denver's D on that exchange) that resulted in the last 3, near the end, was the highlight of the game for me.

    Yea I agree I kind mentioned that in regular season too. He pretty good around the rim percentage wise. Where he low is mid range game in his shooting. But that why you have a off season to work on your weaknesses and maybe add to something to your game. Zach is improving every game he got 14 points back to back. His defense Dbmp is 5.0 in playoffs his advance stats offensive 112.0 and defense 107.8 his PER is 15.4 and his Pie 10.8. These are starter number to me and more likely he will be starting at power forward next year.

    Yeah if his 3 point shooting improves he can start for Terry. It also gives the Blazers a little more flexibility to go small at SF if we have two bigs in the starting lineup. (not Curry size small, but say Hood size small )

    It’s amazing how much easier it is when you have a legit power forward in the game. I can’t believe we have been rolling with Aminu at power forward for so long.

    So Lillard isn’t special because he hasn’t taken out Denver? Harden isn’t either?

    I look up Gorbert Dbmp stat is regular season was 5.1 and his playoffs was 7.2 so Zach for that stat is pretty good for these playoffs. Yes he has to get better at the 3 next year but Aminu was only slightly better then him in regular season. Zach really not that far away for us improving the power forward position for next year.

    Denver bench, I think. Pretty sure that's what the Nuggets announcers were referring to right before Hastings advocated kicking Nurk in the shins.
