We should be a terrific rebounding team.

 

[dviss1]

I'm lovin' Nurkic's J tonight.

 

[rotary111]

I like how coach put Collins in with the starters in the second half of last game and Caleb this game. Both have done well with the starters.

 

[Scalma]

Swanigan does not look or play like a rookie

 

[Strenuus]

Okay. Y'all get in line. I got this great ring to give to Swaggie. From the Shane Co.

 

[HailBlazers]

Bout to be some regret around the league for passing on Swagitron

 

[BonesJones]

The defense were seeing right now is as good as any we saw last year. Harkless is playing phenomenal defense right now. I'm very encouraged.

 

[LuckyShot]

I love Swanigan.

 

[dviss1]

Man I'm loving Caleb's physicality. Serge knows he's there every play.

 

[tlongII]

Our front line is NASTY!

 

[Blazinaway]

Love Harks constant effort and Caleb showin max effort! Great dive between the legs!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Biggie's rebounding instincts are amazing

 

[Blazinaway]

Man I'm loving Caleb's physicality. Serge knows he's there every play.

yes he does and he's not likin it - lol

Caleb and Nurk. It's crazy how much better our big man situation has turned into in the past year. We turned Plumlee and cap space into Nurkic, Swanigan, and Collins.

 

[DUB]

Does anyone else, when we're waiting for a replay, think "Hurry up @HCP"?

I know I'm being unreasonable, because he's way quicker, and better than anyone else in the league; but the thought still pops into my head.

I have to work on my patience.

 

[BonesJones]

Just keep getting shots at the rim. We'll rebound it until we score.

 

[dviss1]

I see Aminu, Vonleh, Butters, Pat, and Layman not being long for this team.

The rookies should play now. It's not time for either of them to wait.

 

[ripcityboy]

We are gunna put some stank on the front court this year. Man I wish we had a better wing than Turner though.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I hate to say this, but....it looks like Nurk is getting shown up by this Valawhomever dude.

 

[BonesJones]

So many deflections

 

[Strenuus]

I have to say - Holton with Wheels is really, really good. Keep Holton at this spot - I didnt like him on the pre/ half-time/post show.

 

[BonesJones]

Both of Nurks 3s have been halfway down.

 

[ripcityboy]

Oh Nurk.... my heart!!!

 

[BonesJones]

GET THAT SHIT OUT

 

[Strenuus]

NURK HOLY CRAP/

 

[dviss1]

They're looking for that 3! Did you see no Nurk call that play?

 

[ripcityboy]

I have to say - Holton with Wheels is really, really good. Keep Holton at this spot - I didnt like him on the pre/ half-time/post show.

Yeah. Gunna listen to them next game for sure.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL Nurk. I like the effort.

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk will learn to shoot a floater there. I like that he's experimenting in the preseason.

 

[Scalma]

I don't think Nurk is used to being this quick lol

 

[Trackjack]

80 points and still have over 2 mins left in the game that pretty impressive.
