    Is anyone going to say the obvious that nurk has been terrible? Besides first 2 games he is awful. He misses so much at rim. Whiteside needs to be our starter forget loyalty. As of now we be better off loosing cj. He is terrible. I radther play hezonja who hustles and defends

    I just finished texting all my friends about this game. Now I'll run outside and tell the neighbors before it gets dark.

    I don't think he's been terrible, he's passing the ball well. But a motivated Whiteside is a better player. Just depends which Whiteside shows up. He certainly scares other team's players out of the paint a lot more than Nurkic.

    Blessings to CJ. Back problems are no BS. He's playing with guts cause he knows we need him. I got a feeling he will come up big in the near future. Gotta believe. As someone who was crippled by a back injury, and faced a long healing process over many years, to now, be physically able to play hoops, it takes a lot of work and faith to overcome. You may be able to question some of the shots, but don't question his commitment to his teammates, and the fans who follow them.

    All the other teams play before us. If they all lose, we can play Adams/Simons/Hoard/Little/Wenyen 48 minutes and rest the stars. And we'll probably win lol.

    I think most of us are questioning Terry Stotts, not CJ McCollum.

    If I could rep a post a hundred times, you would be smothered with kisses.

    Sames. As much as I do not like CJ's style of play, if he is out there with a fracture in his back, props to his dedication. Which he had the same dedication towards hitting the open man or taking better shots.
