[Mediocre Man]

Galo 3-14 from the field - someone said they wanted him. lol.

He would be awesome in Stotts system

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Jusuf Nurkic has recorded the first 30-point, 15-rebound game by a Trail Blazer since LaMarcus Aldridge (12/19/14 at San Antonio).

 

[Strenuus]

Playoffs here we come!

Lets get to the end of the season first. lol - still games to play. <3

 

[The Professional Fan]

Nurk > Joke

 

[Mediocre Man]

That was great defense

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I went to tweet Nurkic's name on something, and saw that there's a "JusufNurkicGF". https://twitter.com/nilamadison/followers_you_follow

I thought I had a scoop for a second, until I saw "Followed by slypokerdog".

Of course she is.

It's not his gf. But she is funny and a huge Blazer fan.

Jusuf Nurkic has recorded the first 30-point, 15-rebound game by a Trail Blazer since LaMarcus Aldridge (12/19/14 at San Antonio).

And because fans can chant his 4-syllable name, Nurkic will stay around.

 

[PDXFonz]

Nikola JOKE-ic ???

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yes, even if he made it, it would have been stupid

Not has stupid as Aminu taking that 3 with 2 minutes. With CJ and Dame on the court he should not be shooting from deep. Not in crunch time.

 

[julius]

Not sure I'm liking Damian shooting those 3's tonight. Doesn't seem to have clutch tonight.

 

[LuckyShot]

Lets get to the end of the season first. lol - still games to play. <3

Exactly. We lose a couple and they win a couple and this game all of a sudden means a lot less.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Not over yet

 

[julius]

Damn Dame, have you been taking FT lessons from Plumlee??

 

[BlazerWookee]

Did Plumlee get a warm reception from the crowd?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Jesus Christ....Dame has been terrible tonight. Thank God CJ and Nurk picked up the slack!

 

[Po'sFinest]

Galo 3-14 from the field - someone said they wanted him. lol.

Is that his average for the season? Yea I thought so

 

[Po'sFinest]

Jesus Christ....Dame has been terrible tonight. Thank God CJ and Nurk picked up the slack!

Very

 

[BrianFromWA]

It's not his gf. But she is funny and a huge Blazer fan.

I figured that when I saw she was from SF, and on the broadcast they said his real GF is from Bosnia

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That last timeout...

 

[Strenuus]

LMFAO Nurk just said something to the Denver camera that was in the Portland huddle. No idea what he said, but it was cocky as fuck. ROFL.

 

[SIeepwalker]

fouled in the act but whatever

 

[Strenuus]

Is that his average for the season? Yea I thought so

his averages are weird - he's injured so much.

 

[Mediocre Man]

LOL Nurk chirpin at Galo

 

[H.C.]

Is that his average for the season? Yea I thought so

?? Tuchi.. I'll remember that next time you cherrypick lillard's stats.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You know Ed Davis is just dying to play with Nurkic.

 

[Strenuus]

2 Jusuf chants.

33/15 for Nurk so far. That's crazy.

 

[BrianFromWA]

pretty sure CJ just had the quietest 37pt game in Blazers history.

 

[Trackjack]

We need make our free throws at this time of the game. But one good stop that all we need.

 

[julius]

And because fans can chant his 4-syllable name, Nurkic will stay around.

well, it worked for Gerald Wallace and Marcus Camby.

 

[H.C.]

You know Ed Davis is just dying to play with Nurkic.

I think Davis is just dying to play. Doesn't seem like a player who enjoys sitting.
