You wearing the edibles

?

The bucks are crazy good. So long and so athletic.

Yeah. I can see what the goal of their game plan as. Guys who are freaky athletic that can kill you in so many ways. That's pretty smart considering the league play now.

 

[Chris Craig]

He’s killing us honestly. Don’t know what’s up with him

Yeah, he seems off balanced. Needs to stop rushing himself. Needs to work against his guy in the paint, use his weight, and get to the basket, not freight train it

 

[Sinobas]

It's becoming clear that the refs are not going to let the Blazers win this game.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Hey is Biggie playing tonight?

 

[DaLincolnJones]

poop

 

[GrandJury]

You know what? Nurk is not worth Max to me

He’s meh to me

 

[BonesJones]

Jusuf is such a disappointment this year.

 

[DUB]

Nurkic had such a soft touch around the basket last season. So far this season, his hands look to be made of wood.

I wonder if he's feeling the pressure (mostly self imposed I'd say) of living up to expectations?

Or maybe it's just early season form, and he'll improve with games?

 

[DaLincolnJones]

need to foul these guys up

 

[Denny Crane]

Hey Denny just went to your restraunt....good food man

Every once in a while I give away free grand slams and pancakes.

 

[Sinobas]

Jesus, what is wrong with Nurk? Maybe he won't end up getting the max afterall.

 

[EGame]

feel like we need cj back in. Offense is stalling some.

I haven't enjoyed watching Turner's game in the past, but it's starting to grow on me.

His game reminds me of a taller Andre Miller.

He's a nice addition off the bench. I don't mind ET his contract sucks though. I wonder if we keep him around for the long haul?

 

[Denny Crane]

I like this group right now.

 

[ripcityboy]

We need a real big man coach.

We need a real big man coach.

Don't give me this player development shit.

 

[EGame]

ugh that longcontested 3 by dame

 

[EGame]

nice nurk

 

[HailBlazers]

Ya'll shut up about Nurk. We're three games in.

 

[GrandJury]

Wtf is Lillard making that dumb ass pass for Mann

 

[brooklynballer]

Jusuf is such a disappointment this year.

I blame the guy who jinxed him and guaranteed he would win MIP ... lol

 

[Denny Crane]

I'm not at all down on Nurk.

The guy lost 35 lbs, and I'm pretty sure it was the team that wanted him to.

I'm not sure the advantage, other than he's lighter and more mobile (perhaps). He's clearly not looking comfortable playing BIG, though.

I sat through a few seasons yelling at the TV when Pippen played like a guard (and wasn't very good at it). It worked out in the end, though. Nurk clearly has the IQ, he'll come around.

 

[BonesJones]

We're playing dumb

 

[GrandJury]

Man Lillard is playing bad fuck

 

[DaLincolnJones]

pfft

 

[BrianFromWA]

I guess if you're going to try a heat check, do itup 3 in the 2nd q.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Nurkic has been so bad thus far

 

[EGame]

now we just look tired lol

 

[DaLincolnJones]

well guys, have a good evening. Wife time
