Will Nurk be playing? Apparently, he has a FEVER.
Too bad, to - he would have scored 35+ points.

I agree with you in principle bt until they change how the voting is done, most of the fans are, Nurk who?

I’m talking as a reserve selected by coaches.

 

[KingSpeed]

I start seeing nagging injuries every year about now. The Blazers are in the beginning of a fairly easy stretch of games. Time to start sitting players with nagging injuries and let them heal. If Evan Turner is hurting then why play the dude? He just does not have the same kind of impact he was having in the first month of the season. This is a perfect day off game.

The last two games were Turner’s best of the season imho.

 

[KingSpeed]

I went with zero chance on the All-Star for Nurkic. But who knows? Even more so with how they pickem now?

0%??? Never in his career???

Agreed, I think it's a lot closer to 0 than 25. He needs to take a step up to match the Gobert/Jokic/KAT level (not even considering AD). He's middling around with the likes of Capela/Adams right now.

A bit easier in the east with Embiid/Vucevic as the only potential candidates. (Horford and Drummond have taken steps back). Center position is definitely relevant again. Lotsa talent out there.

The question was will he EVER make the AS team. You really think that’s less than 25%? He’s very young.

Wow. Perfect timing. Right when the Captain Marvel stroke fest started during the CFB Final.
