IIRC illness are never specified unless it's something long-term like Cody's mono last season.

Sometimes the team will have reporters say something though iirc. Sometimes its flu like symptoms. IDK... it was the most incredibly timed illness if its completely legit. If dude has a cold or something then its milking the injury report.

Solid tank loss. Now we need to keep the tank mentum into tomorrow night.

Schedule is pretty solid for a few games... though if Lauri is back I'm sure we win at least one of the home games against Miami/GS/SA/Clips.

Everytime a get a little comfortable we end up winning a game or two we shouldn't.

Had no idea Nurk was at 36% from 3 on the year. Thought it was more like 25%

That's on the widest of wide-open threes only though. Shots that good 3pt-shooters make at 50-60 %.

Yeah, but 36% (league average) is still good enough to force at least some defensive attention when Nurk is standing on the perimeter. That's important.

People went crazy with Kessler's ridiculous 3pt barrage before he got hurt, but I don't believe for a second that Walker is an overall 36% shooter from there in reality. He still can't even shoot a basic jumpshot from anywhere. For some reason his weird outside shot just started clicking. It happens.

Nurk is on another level when it comes to offensive skill, even though he's a weirdly bad FT shooter. Sometimes it seems like he just doesn't give a F when he's at the line.
