Notice Jason Quick on Talkin'Ball

[BigGameDamian]

Says that he thinks Nurkic might be having some lower back pain. Says he's witnessed Nurk pointing at his lower back and getting it looked at. That's why he's not playing as well. Stotts said he knows nothing about it and Nurk wasn't available to comment.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

If he's hurting, it could be an explanation for why he's not looking as dominant as he did before.

Lower back pain is a bitch.

 

[Nate]

Stotts said he knows nothing

Shocker.

 

[Trackjack]

Lower back injuries are not good I know.

Then again, Meyer said he had some sort of injury last year that NO ONE talked about except... I think Quick?

Quick has a lower brain injury he's not telling us about methinks

I think NO talked about it once but wasn't it two herniated disks in his back or something like that?

 

[BonesJones]

As plausible a reason as any.

That low post banging would take a toll on your lower back, and pain would make one less likely to want to do that and more likely to try to compensate by shooting more jumpers.

This describes Nurk so far IMO.

 

[Trackjack]

Well he might be the reason that Nurk wasn't so active on defense. Well I guess we soon find out if he can't go Collins better get himself ready to go.

 

[VenomXL]

During the Clippers game I noticed Nurk rubbing his lower back as they headed into a timeout. Hearing this doesn't surprise me. Hopefully it isn't anything serious.

 

[Nikolokolus]

If he's got a bad back then the training staff are idiots for not shutting him down for awhile.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ugh

 

[Sinobas]

Stop playing him and let him heal. He's not doing us any good out there anyway.

Start Biggie!

Stotts just seems to be fucking clueless about everything.

 

[tlongII]

Well if he's the Blazers center....

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nurk injured? Shocking

 

[Portland2014]

Excuses, excuses, excuses... There's always an excuse for our players, now I can't wait to hear that Dame's shooting slump is due to a bad finger... C'mon...

 

[BrianFromWA]

Are you saying....?

 

[riverman]

now I can't wait to hear that Dame's shooting slump is due to a bad finger

sounds like something you'd celebrate

 

[BigGameDamian]

Good thing the Blazers haven't offered this guy a contract extension yet.

 

[THE HCP]

Excuses, excuses, excuses... There's always an excuse for our players, now I can't wait to hear that Dame's shooting slump is due to a bad finger... C'mon...

I am one that believes that injuries have a direct result in their ability to play. What about you?
