He won't be doing any of that against our Nurk.
It really does seem like the pendulum is swinging back to needing bulk/height to compete. Small-Ball was fun while it lasted.

This might be something to watch for with Mikal on the Knicks. Looks like he tweaked his shooting form for a higher release over his head. Could be nothing but not sure why he'd change anything at all.

Kai Jones is a former Hornets lotto pick who seemed to be going through some things a year or two back and dropped out of the league. Now he's back with the Clips and looking pretty good as a shotblocking, rim running big. They may have found themselves something there.

Very similar to Yao IMO. He'll have trouble in some matchups but he's agile and athletic.

That's the one thing this team is missing, an athletic finisher, we've got plenty of guys who can get the roll man a dunk, but nobody to finish them.
Love, Hurts.

I don’t think the pendulum ever swept away, there just haven’t been those type of big men available.

Yeah, the game itself has evolved with the big guys becoming more skilled and not having to bulk up and relying on just being bigger than the other guy.
Love, Hurts.

Maybe if we put Frank's brain in Ayton's body ...

He's probably at pdx-blaze.net telling them that Ayton is far better than Clingan.

Looks like Shamet popped his shoulder out tonight. Kind of weird because he did it swiping for the ball and not on any kind of fall or landing. The injury looks pretty gross tho so fair warning.
