    Great stuff as usual. Really understates Nurk's defensive impact however. His defensive metrics at the rim rival Gobert's.

    His impact on defense results in more than just fewer threes for opponents. There's actually an intimidation factor now, especially when he's engaged.

    The part about constantly getting screwed by the refs must be in part 2

    Yep, he should just change his username to Mr. Thread Crapper. He just stops by to shit an otherwise worthwhile thread and adds nothing to the discussion. But hey, that's just the kind and of guy he is.

    No, his post is a fair assessment of the types of things you post. It was useful info in determining whether or not to read or respond to your posts.

    I knew this already, but his post helped reaffirmed the fact that I shouldn't take your negativity seriously.

    Thanks for your addition @Boob-No-More

    Okay, thats enough. Either add the green font or edit your post.

    BNM brings more than almost anyone else here.

    You bring troll posts more often than not.

    There is no game to be fun. You lost that one a long time ago The moment you thought BNM doesnt bring anything to the table.
    Come on. I believe you to be better than this.

    Good article. Very informative analysis on our extra movement on the pick n' rolls and Aminu doing those blind screens on Dame's deep threes. But seriously, if this current team isn't worth paying the luxury tax on then what team is? We've proven we can play with just about anybody in the league.

    I think I can safely speak for all you guys when I say MM brings more to the forum than BNM. Right?

    As always, a reasoned, informative article by Zach Lowe. You can't say he doesn't back up his claims with facts. Perhaps I'm being a homer, but I think he was being a little too conservative about Portland's success/window. All those individual facts are true, but this team is a classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Plus, Damian lillard is SPECIAL. Like, really special. He has the heart of a champion, and that's not something you can quantify,

    What's certain is that you bring less than both of them
