Impressive effort by Larry Nance Jr w/ 15 pts & 11 rbs, 3 steals, 3 blocks, solid defense, all while playing in obvious hip pain. |

Solid game by Larry tonight.
Does anyone know what the deal was with his injury in the first half? On TV they thought it was a back issue, didn't see any more updates and he played in the second half so obviously nothing serious. |

He got hip checked, my guess is hip contusion... motrin, ice and rest, should be ok |

Lol if LNJ took motrin his doctor would be livid. Crohn's + ibuprofen = bad time |

Nance has been pretty fantastic at small ball center. He is such a valuable player. |

He's the fastest big on the team so while he may get outmuscled occasionally it's offset by his speed and energy. |

Hes slower than Julius.
Larry's mind works faster though. |

I just think he needed time to figure out the center position. Playing up a position probably requires some tweaks in technique to handle the larger players.
His rebounding has been really good this year. He has the highest TRB% on the team this year. |

Randle is quicker/faster
Nance is just smart and play's harder |

He picked it up recently especially at the 4 game winning streak.
Gotta look at the numbers. |

Yea he definitely gets overpowered at center.
He's not a full time center |

Nance is just smart and play's harder | Nance also has much more vertical explosiveness, and he's longer than Randle as well. Nance as a 9 foot standing reach, compared to 8'9.5'' for Randle.
Nance's superior length and leaping ability is why I expected him to flourish as a small ball center. I was surprised to see him struggle at first, but it's nice to see him finally coming into his own as a center. |

Like the 4 dunks he gave up to Sabonis? Or the drives in the paint? He isn’t a center. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

His lineup was +25.
I believe half that + came while at center.
For this game it was pretty good.
Again, I gotta look at the numbers to see if his last few games at center picked up his overall rating there. |
