Why can't we play like that every game ?!?

Nurkic flopped a bunch tonight... I'm really getting sick of seeing it... That offensive foul on Millsap was complete bullshit. The foul when he swatted Nurk was a bullshit call too.

I want to see him cut down on the flopping as well. However to be fair, Millsap flopped a hell of lot more on the offensive foul call. He got what he deserved. As I recall he fell to the floor trying to get 3 free throws when he was not touched.

That's a load of crap. Millsaps was fouled on that play and should have been shooting free throws. Nurkic literally ran him over.

Dame offense fell off this year but his defense has been really good. He’s improved a lot nobody can deny that

You do know before last game he had three or four games in a row with 30 points right?

 

[TBpup]

Millsap had apparently been playing well of late. We had a very solid defensive effort tonight. That effort would have beaten Memphis and Brooklyn.

That is good they had that kind of effort....and very disappointing they didn't in the two games prior. So it's not that they can't, just that they don't on a consistent basis. Quite frustrating.

And it wasn't just his stats either. Very impressed with his defensive awareness. He was quick with the help and equally quick to get back to his man. Terry needs to let him finish games, he is becoming our best defender IMO.

I only remember him being scored on twice the entire game. Whether he was on Jokic, Millsap or switched out on a guard, his defense was very good. I do wish he would look to score more but that's just not the Blazer game plan. He is always the 5th option and you can see it almost drilled into his head, "Get the ball back to Dame or CJ."

 

[Trackjack]

Maybe Nurk back is bother him that make is movement difficult and but if that true then maybe not good idea in flopping in the games.

I think you are wrong on this. I am looking at it right now for the 20th time (at the 7:36 mark in the 4th) Nurk did not run him over as he is to the side of Milsap. Milsap shoots the ball and slightly turns to his left trying to draw contact......then falls to the floor. Neither he nor Nurk were hit hard enough compared to their reactions. Both flopped, but only one hit the floor.

I love Nurk flopping, I need more of that... its frustrating when your opponents do it, but its fun when your player does that shit... and hes doing it soooo good... Ill support anything but kicking people in the head, nuts, etc

I support flopping, same as trash talk, it makes NBA more entertaining

Trash talk does make it entertaining.

Flopping can get the fuck out. Win with integrity.

you dont talk to me, you were very mean to Nurk all night long, I read it all
you should be ashamed of yourself

 

[Trackjack]

I thought the league pass a rule about flopping. They have fine players about flopping in recent years. But the referees have to be better job knowing if it a flop or not. They also, who is the worst defender to do this so they can watch more closing about them that flop the most.

 

[Strenuus]

lmao. wut?

I mean, I'm not ashamed. But... I love you?

 

[Mr. Robot]

if you ask me, theres difference between flopping and selling the contact, and Nurk does the latter one
theres always a contact, he just sells it so well, which gets him the calls

Im yet to see real flops like this, thats just a few, but enough to make a point:

 

[THE HCP]

That's it I'm done with the NBA

Look at that......The HCP will lay down smack on ANYBODY! He only knows one speed! See, the Denver Nuggets like him, why can't you?

 

[THE HCP]

Oh and the Celtics like him too...... #IsThisConsideredBragging

This one player: "You said moan or something??"

 

[GrandJury]

Yea but is it consistent? Your saying Lillard shooting 31% from 3 after almost 15 games isn’t news to bring up?

31% dude that’s hella low.

LMFAO. Whoever did that just won the internet. They'll never have to buy another beer in Portland ever again.

 

[LuckyShot]

Do you not understand the difference between how surrounding teammates affects an iso scorer compared to a defensive big man who plays better off the ball (pick n roll/pop, spot ups, dives to the basket, etc.?) You only think it's ridiculous because you don't understand it.

He would look a lot better playing with starters, yes.

I fully understand all of that. He's not ready.

If I could, I'd post this on the denver boards.

Did you get banned? A few Blazer fans got banned from the Denver Nuggets Reddit page.

 

[Eastoff]

Ok, maybe this is a silly question but how do we get The People's Champ back?

You just want to say, "Finally the People's Champ is come Back to Portland!"

 

[Labinot41]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[dviss1]

LMFAO. Whoever did that just won the internet. They'll never have to buy another beer in Portland ever again.

We seriously need to find them and invite them to the forum.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The Jokic page has also been updated, saying that he is the son of Nurk.
