"Who is that? Hahahaha who is that I don't know who he is even tho it's my job to hahaha hey shaq u a fatass" -Charles Barkley

Kinda funny since Nurk just did something that hasn't been done since Chuck played

 

[Strenuus]

The 76er commentators said that, and added: Barkley, with the 76ers, did that against...(wait for it) the Blazers.

Mind. Blown.

So now that we have our third star, the future of this team is looking much brighter.

Jusuf Nurkic is the first NBA player to log 28+ points, 20+ rebounds, 8+ assists and 6+ blocks in a game since Charles Barkley (11/28/86).

Barkley only had one steal that game (Nurk had 2). So Nurks got that going for him.

What a game!

 

[riverman]

now...Nurk or Okafor....do we need a poll?

 

[B-Roy]

 

[illmatic99]

Is Nurk our Jermaine? It only took 17 yrs to get retribution for that one

 

[ripcityboy]

Just imagine what we could get with human cloning.

Had to prove it, for my own sanity.

I really want to make playoffs now. Before with Plumlee I just didnt see the future and I liked Plumlee, but now that we have a low post presence and legit third scorer (not to mention good rebounder and defender), really want to see him and the rest grow even if it will be most likely a sweep against Golden State. Fuck tanking now, lets let Nurkic learn playoff ball.

 

[noknobs]

Ha, we're tied for the longest winning streak in the league.

 

[42N8Bounce]

People have been comparing Nurk's passing skills to Sabas. I can definitely see that. But tonight having him at the high-post dumping it down low to cutters, it reminded me of Bill Walton.

playoffs is where we're going...Nurkic won't have it any other way...it's all he talks about..he's on a mission.

I only want to make it so we can see 4-7 more games of Nurk.

He guaranteed Denver would make the playoffs at the start of the season. So I guess it's true "the good lord givith and the good lord taketh away".

Nurk's block is the 'block of the night' on NBA.com

[BBert]

OMG The passing. The passing. It's so fucking sexy.

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk, stop it. I can't.

That may be.

I wouldn't know.

You meet this man on the street. You beg to carry his groceries. You offer to break in his pipe if he smokes. You promise to beat up anybody who owes him money!
