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

Look at both sides of the ball. Nurk is playing AMAZING D.

Yeah. I'm thinking about putting bubble rap around him when they aren't playing.

 

[Scalma]

Collins for sure cuts his own hair.

It happened last year too after the trade.
But there is no shame in playing even with JV. Guy is supremely talented and has everything you want in a Center.
Frankly he's the Geko's best player.
However the Geko's just use him poorly because Lowry and Derozan have a competition between them. Who can brick the most shots.

Personally I'd love to see JV go to Charlotte at the end of this season and play with Kemba.

 

[dviss1]

Yes ZACH!!!

 

[BonesJones]

Great finish from Zach!

I agree with this. But he has to perform on both ends.

Meyers definitely did. He admitted it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I like ET at point.

 

[dviss1]

Our D looks great.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Calabro is so bad..already confused CJ for Dame

 

[BonesJones]

I feel like white big men get more bad fouls called on them than other big men.

 

[dviss1]

He was bout to get put in the unit.

"I like listening to the 2 chin guy."

- Calabro

 

[LuckyShot]

"I like listening to the 2 chin guy."

- Calabro

So cringey...

 

[Jade Falcon]

At least they're actually THINKING before they speak. Last season was just a bunch of gibberish. I'd rather hear more silence while they think of something clever to say.

 

[Trackjack]

Good 3rd Qt with 85 points in the game and we doing this without a good shooting night from CJ or Dame.

 

[MickZagger]

I've missed most of it. Hows Collins looking?

 

[Strenuus]

"I like listening to the 2 chin guy."

- Calabro

Its cute when it comes from Rice because he's probably 15 sheets to the wind. But from Calabro it is just bad from so many levels.

I'm probably either going to listen to Wheels or the other teams broadcast for every game.

 

[BonesJones]

I hate watching Connaughton play.

 

[ripcityboy]

Kyle Wiltjer.... the only basketball player to have pipe cleaners for arms.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mark Mason always sounds like he's strokin' it when he announces the Blazer Dancers.

"Yoooooouuuuurrrrrr Blaaaaaaazer Dannnnncers..."

 

[BonesJones]

Weak ass call. Good move Zach.

[BonesJones]

Dumb foul.

 

[ripcityboy]

I hate watching Connaughton play.

Yeah. It almost feels like he's a fan who donated a large sum to charity and won a "player for a day."

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Do we normally play eastern conference teams in the preseason? Seems kinda weird

 

[Jade Falcon]

Jesus Calabro....

 

[ripcityboy]

Man if Ed just had more of an inside game.

Well when you have butters on your team.
