When they say live or die by the three. This is how you die....

I don't understand why Vonleh isn't getting the majority of the center minutes in Nurkic's absence. He's significantly thicker and stronger than Aminu. Wouldn't he likely have been more effective in denying KAT post position?

Rouq was on fire on offense for his standards last night. I liked that lineup with Dame-CJ-AC-Moe-Aminu. Tons of spacing and shooting.

But ya, Noah could have probably held his own on d vs KAT.

Tough loss for Blazers. Tougher loss for Gonzaga.

But hey, the A's are in first place!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yes, but there was still more than enough if either CJ or Dame had not been ice cold.

There might have been some correlation no? You think it's just a pure coincidence that Damian goes HAM in the month of March, right after the team acquires a legit low-post scoring threat?

Nurkic balances the floor and makes the guards' lives easier.

Everytime they got ou of a screen, Dame and CJ were pressure by 2 guys without much room to operates.
When Nurk sets the screen, those 2 become 0
