#3 for the white team is unstoppable.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

CJ in the football spirit. In the first half, he has 6 points and 1 tackle....

 

[Scalma]

zero turnovers...good defense...2 steals...he's guarded Jokic a lot...Collins and Davis are owning the glass

Don’t bother. Some have their minds set when it comes to Turner, even though he’s been solid for awhile now. Meyers same thing. Even when they play well, they won’t get credit. Fuck it.

 

[KingSpeed]

If that is an actual fact, then props to him! Doesn't change my comment earlier though that I still don't completely trust him as our 1st or 2nd ball-handler.

Props to him and good for us.

Oh yeah. Meyers is solid. That's why he plays regularly....

...oh wait....

 

[BrianFromWA]

So he's already averaging more than the Browns...

 

[Shaboid]

Bazz is our 3rd ball handler now

But sometimes Stotts has Turner as our 1st or 2nd ball handler, in the rotation. That's what I meant.

 

[Scalma]

Oh yeah. Meyers is solid. That's why he plays regularly....

...oh wait....

Exhibit A.

 

[riverman]

I guarantee you Meyers is being shopped hard and they don't want to risk injury before they can move him if they can

 

[riverman]

If CJ goes total ISO with the ball....Turner can be that guy but he's guarding 3's and 4's most of the time

 

[Jade Falcon]

.....or nobody wants him and he just sucks.

 

[riverman]

.....or nobody wants him and he just sucks.

He's got good stats and he's just healed his shoulder...he's being held out for the risk factor at least until the deadline...Mo too

I hope you're right. Because I can think of other better uses for $10 Million.

 

[Scalma]

Or it’s as simple as the guys ahead of him are just better players. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve minutes.

 

[Cippy91]

Glad we got bad nurk tonight. Stop taking mid range jumpers for fucks sake

 

[riverman]

Because I can think of other better uses for $10 Million.

Paul Allen can piss that away on vacation.....chump change to him

shhhhhh

 

[Cippy91]

I thought nic batum was the most frustrating blazer I ever saw. Turns out it’s nurk

 

[BrianFromWA]

Our boy Saleh Mejri has been heard from again...

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Nurkic is not good.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I hope you're right. Because I can think of other better uses for $10 Million.

If nothing else, we've gotten more from him for 10M than we got from Festus' 7.8M last year.

 

[Jade Falcon]

You say that as if a salary cap doesn't exist.

 

[illmatic99]

4 absolutely horrible possessions on both ends. Good timeout

 

[BlazerBeav]

Someone go back to the locker room and bring the team out.

 

[riverman]

This qtr is starting just like the first qtr started

 

[BrianFromWA]

Nurkic is not good.

You're right. He's.....

 

[riverman]

You say that as if a salary cap doesn't exist.

nope...it doesn't ....I pay no luxury tax at all..nor do I worry about a gazillionaire's pocketbook....Paul donates more money to charity than he'd pay in luxury tax....a loss to a guy like him is a tax write off

 

[illmatic99]

Jesus, Aminu.You got no one near you. How does he miss so bad?

 

[TBpup]

Turner had very nice scoring first half. No lack of credit. Just would like to see more than 0 rebounds and o assists from your starting SF. Doesn't seem unreasonable. Some nice D as well. Just because 'some people' don't use the seemingly anymore required F-bomb in there response to make a point, doesn't mean there isn't credit.

I just know some younger kids that few come here so choose to try and keep it a little more chill.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Yes, the ex-Bowfin is a decommissioned submarine. And kind of a badass one from WW2.
