Game Thread GAME# 73: NETS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 25, 2019 - MONDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[James lamphear]

We clinch but bad night with Nurk injury.

 

[riverman]

fingers crossed for minimal damage...Nurk is young still...he can hopefully heal quickly

 

[HailBlazers]

Get Lost Turner

 

[TBpup]

If ever a win felt empty, hollow, and not worth celebrating....

 

[The Professional Fan]

I love how evan turner is all giggles in the huddle post game. Fuck him he’s such a cunt I hate him

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I would think Turner could look a little more serious.

 

[Shaboid]

The most hollow win I think I've ever seen.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Feels the same as when I saw Wes go down.

I don’t hate him I’m just shook as fuck and so should he be

 

[EGame]

turner can go join the refs and fuck off. God I fucking hate him with a fucking passion.

 

[H.C.]

I would think Turner could look a little more serious.

This is a silly thing to say.
Players all say Turner's contributions go unnoticed.
Perhaps thinking they'll be okay and helping deliver that message will lead to a 1st round win.

Unless you'd like the players to all stop playing the rest of the year.

 

[The Professional Fan]

It ain't pretty

Oh god

 

[JDC]

It ain't pretty

That crunch...gut wrenching.

 

[Pinwheel1]

You guys have no clue how anyone is feeling.

No. I disagree. I can only speak for myself. I would not act like that if my teammate went down that obviously bad. Just me I guess

 

[theprunetang]

I like that the ref trips right over his broken off leg like it's no big deal.

 

[riverman]

It ain't pretty

I can't watch it...I heard it on the radio..it gave Wheels pause and that's pretty rare..I couldn't watch the Paul George one either

 

[ehizzy3]

I don’t want to watch

 

[Serbian]

Been a blazers fan since 1995 i was 10 years old and war was still going on in former Yugoslavia, to this day im wondering why the blazers are cursed?! Heartbroken in finals of 1989 and 1991, then 2000 vs lakers doom....then greg oden injury now Nurkic again, we lost Nurk 2 years ago when we played amazing now again, why what has this franchise deserve such misery?! Why im so gutted now i can not sleep

Which players say his contributions go unnoticed?
How in the hell would you know what message he is delivering?
When the hell did I say I thought players should stop playing?
Get out of my posts!

 

[H.C.]

Neither would I.
But Turner is a different person.
The lockerroom raves about his unnoticed contributions on and off the court.

I don't like him as a player, but at the end of the day if he can help the team recover from the Nurk injury by being positive instead of negative and down in the dumps.
Then by all means do it.

As it doesn't change the fact that the goal is still to win in the playoffs.
Being down in the dumps as a ball club thinking it can't be done without Nurk isn't going to help that.

 

[EGame]

it was bound to happen. we got lucky all year and now the gods have said fuck you and decided to go after our other two stars in cj and nurk. amazing.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I have never felt so dead inside. My favorite player.

I need to go cry some more. I might be away for a while.

It’s what we’re best at

 

[LayneStaley]

This reminds me of a slightly lesser version of the PG injury. PG had bone protruding through his skin(and Gordon had a dislocated ankle). Luckily I feel like both of those guys relied more on athleticism than Nurk, with that said it’s probably doubtful Nurk plays next season imo as a google doctor.

Isn’t there some sort of injury salary cap situation where we can sign up Kanter for next year?

Awful I’m with you

 

[cityofroses]

I think Cj should sit now for the rest of the season and playoffs. It’s just pointless now. Get him right and be prepared for next year

That’s one way to look at it. I’d like to believe that. I’ll try.

 

[HailBlazers]

What exactly happened? No way I'm watching that again.
