A SLIMMER NURKIĆ GRASPS HIS ROLE WHILE STAYING 'SLIPPERY'

[Trackjack]

Nurk first game he collected 11 boards last night not so good but you got remember they are really aware of Nurk rebounding so other teams going to concentrate to keep him off but that leaves our power foward Aminu reaping the reward by getting 16 last night.

One of the things that I was afraid of when he lost that weight was not being able to bully others in the paint as easily. And it's showing.

Add in the fact that someone on the coaching staff wants him to develop a fade-away jumper, and yeah.....it's been an ugly start.

 

[Blazers Roy]

He looks injured when he runs.
Though, i don't remember if his "regular" running motion was awkward last year.

Anyone remembers how Davis was focused on losing weight last summer and then he came back looking like a D-League player?

 

[Sinobas]

Maybe he'll fatten back up over the Holiday season and we'll get the Nurkic of last year.

Oh god, please tell me that's not true. Do they want to turn him into LaMarsha?

It certainly looked like it during the Pacers game, and a bit in the Suns game. Granted though....it could have just been him trying out some new moves that he (thought) he learned on his own.

Maybe he's they are learning to use him in more offensive sets but I don't like him not clogging the lanes without his back to the basket. Having him move around a ton looking for the fade away doesn't use him to his best advantage. I'd want him to do the two bump move inside and then pivot for the quick shot off the back board. That worked really well last season. I think Terry has wet dreams about 6'11'' large men that shoot high percentage shots. My guess is that Nurk lost the weight for health reasons. They can't afford to lose his now at any cost.

He gained 15lbs, not lost.

Are you guys joking?

The next greatest player in the nba had to drop 44 points on us to win by 3.

How dare you besmirch Nurkic's name.

This is merely a blip on the radar of his career.

Spd creating sexual thread titles? Or did i pop wood cause nurk?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Link?

No link. It's based on what I saw in a game; can't remember if it was the Phoenix or Indiana game. A couple of other people noticed it on here as well, and made note of it in one of the game threads.

I said that based on our history of trying to turn our Bigs into shooters.

 

[illmatic99]

He's shooting like shit. Having a lot of trouble finishing in the paint.

Needs to stop rushing.

 

[Trackjack]

Yea that what he needs to do is slow down and just gather himself. But he needed slow down but last year his shot went down.
