You can tell Nurk can get in better shape though. I can't wait to see what our staff can do with him over the summer!
 
Sucks I missed this game. From the box score as I was following it at work - looked like Dame Time happened.

Greaaaaat! I'm sooooooo happy that Dame Time happened and we won meaningless game wherein he shot 23 times and had 2 assists. That's just terrific.

Frustrating game most of the way but yes, then Lillard Time happened. Best thing, though, is how great Nurkic is with hardly any practice with the team. I think he'all be a game changer in playoffs. His passing is so good, we don't miss Plumlee at all. I feel badly for Plumlee though. His career is screwed.

He is a POINTS guard, not a point guard. Enjoy him for what he is.

Yeah, I really feel bad for the guy who will be getting an $80 million dollar payday in 4 months. He is SO screwed.

P.S. I wish I was that screwed.

He can take 53 shots if he makes over half of them like he did tonight. He also played with 2 other PG's and a center who all had around 5-6 assists. The ball movement was pretty good tonight.

I agree with your general point, but I do think Plumlee will end up losing millions because of the trade.

It will depend on how he plays in DEN, but it's only a 26 game sample size, compared to the 147 games he played here in the last year and a half. I think most GMs know what he can do.

Over these last two games....Blazers play different with Nurkic in the game. When he's out of the game, there are possession where they literally pass it around the perimeter for 20 seconds before someone jacks up a poor 1v1 shot. With Nurkic, the high PnR or post up is always an option, and every time they have run a high PnR or post up for Nurk something good has happened, even if they miss the shot.
 
When Vucevic played against us before he always seemed so much bigger than our centers trying to guard him. But tonight he actually looked smaller. And if you go by what is listed he is actually 20 lbs lighter than Nurk.

Getting a wide body was needed. And getting a wide body who can actually move his feet is even a bigger plus. God I hope he stays healthy. He reminds me more of Duck than Sabonis.
 
When Vonleh just plays, he can be scary good. Great to finally see him post someone up. I think Nurk will be good for his confidence. I saw Nurk encouraging him a lot tonight and Vonleh needs that. He had a good second half. He is the ideal modern day PF. Strong enough to post offensively, but also agile enough to switch and guard the perimeter.

Will he? He's losing a lot of worth playing off bench for Nuggets. He may not get the deal that he was aiming for with us.

People should be eating crow for ripping on Neil today.

Neil has been nothing but awesome. He drafted Dame and CJ. He got Lopez for Aldridge and we made second round. When we lost Aldridge, he put together a team that could still make second round. This year, he addresses needs by getting a guy (Turner) who can defend the guards CJ and Dame can't and a big body (Ezeli). Ezeli doesn't work out so he gets us Nurkic. Neil has been fantastic.
