Nance a very Jekyll/Hyde type player game to game.

He met his brother from another mother today and was overcome.

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.

Larry Nance Jr. throws down some of the most ferocious dunks in the @NBA. But, it didn’t come easily.

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 has been bad at center, he is a PF.

He's been bad at center for the season.
He picked it up recently especially at the 4 game winning streak.
Gotta look at the numbers.

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.

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.

I tried to find the lineup data on nba.com but couldn't. I'd be interested to see the performance of the Kuzma/Nance 2 man lineup.
