Fedor:

Not only did the Blazers connect from deep, hitting 16 triples on the night, Portland also won the battle inside, outscoring Cleveland in the paint, 64-34. The Blazers were 32-of-49 on those shots. The Cavs went just 17-of-38.

Kanter and Nurkic were a combined 15 of 21 from the field.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Yes, he got bullied in the paint which means he has to develop some kind of outside game because he'll never be a force inside. Nance had the same slim build and the same issue. He realized he needed an outside game and made the effort to shoot 3's every day until he could hit 38%.

Not sure whether you mean Nance Jr. or Sr., but either way, those guys are PF's not C's. An outside shot isn't enough for Allen if he's going to get bullied inside. He's a nice player, but he does need to get stronger.

Allen can bulk up without giving up his athleticism....not a lot bulk but enough to do a better job of bumping and grinding inside.
