[LuckyShot]

Nurkic is literally 50 times better than Meyers.

 

[Strenuus]

*calls city hall*

"Yes, I'm getting married in 3 days."

"Oh really, congratulations! Who's the lucky person?"

"Nurkic."

".........."

So I was pretty much right.

Damnit... that sucks.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nurkić leading the Blazers in scoring with 11pts, also tied for the team lead with 7 rebounds

 

[H.C.]

The baseball player forced a turnover.
Ref's didn't call the foul. But hey...

I swear to god this is why I held from a joke. I didn't know this but I was gonna comment on that cut to Sloan and thought "well if I post some shit making fun of him somebody will probably post a link saying he has some disease and then I will be the asshole of the forum"

I shit you not

 

[LuckyShot]

Even Crabbe's layup was a result of Nurkic being in the game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jusuf Nurkic is Portland's first player in double figures in his first game with the team (11 points, 4-4 FG).

My apologies

Didn't Lillard score 23 against the Lakers?

 

[ripcityboy]

God damn. Does Hurd apologize for all our players?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The Big Nurk.... He's the best player on our roster. Over 6'8" at least.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Dame triple double watch 11/6/7

Maybe we should trade all our players every game - seems like we do best with people in their 1st game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I apoligize

No need, I doubt he reads the forum, muchless knows how to use a computer anymore.

 

[Strenuus]

Didn't Lillard score 23 against the Lakers?

I think they meant just this game and adding that it's Nurk's first.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Didn't Lillard score 23 against the Lakers?

It is a bad (lame) stat. What they mean is he was leading the team in scoring tonight.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I suffer from Ass Itch. Ain't nobody gave me any pity.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Didn't Lillard score 23 against the Lakers?

First player in double figures TONIGHT.

 

[Strenuus]

Biggest moron decision: Starting meyers in the 2nd half.

Stotts knows how to kill momentum.

 

[MarAzul]

Hey! I like this Nurkic!

Got to see a bit a play in between the storms.

 

[julius]

wow, Damian is 3-18.

That FU tour is sure going swell.

 

[ripcityboy]

Man. So many Pat, Vonleh and Meyers are just not NBA worthy. It's obvious. They won't be on the team next year.

 

[Strenuus]

wow, Damian is 3-18.

That FU tour is sure going swell.

Good god.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

I think that Damian Lillard has an injury we don't know about. I'm his biggest critic as you guys surely know by now but at this point I think it's more than just a slump. I would not be surprised if something surfaces either later in the season or once the season is over. I've never seen him struggle like this.

 

[Chris Craig]

No need, I doubt he reads the forum, muchless knows how to use a computer anymore.

Damn

 

[Wizard Mentor]

At the half:
Biebs: -19 in 14 minutes
Nurkic: +17 in 10 minutes

#whoshouldstart?

After 3 quarters:
Biebs: -29 in 19 minutes
Nurkic: +20 in 15 minutes

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Dame should have sat out this game....

He said after last game that his ankle hurts more than ever before.
