Zombie Lets send a thank you letter to Denver

[Strenuus]

To Denver,

Thank you for Nurk. He will be loved and appreciated here.

Your payment for getting Barton from us has been processed.

Signed,
Nurk's new BFF.

I like having a real center, for sure. But Plums will be a good add for Denver. I just think The Big Nurk has a higher ceiling and we likely would've let Plums go.

But to also collect a first rounder in a deep draft? Yeah, buddy...

 

[AquaXI]

Thank you Denver, your Nuggets were in the right place.

 

[Minstrel]

Good start for the Nurk. Now he just needs to string together a career of that. And not injure his knee or feet.

 

[Trackjack]

Plum had 11/9 in 34 minutes tonight.

Bitch please, you've been calling for Olshey head.

 

[Minstrel]

Bitch please, you've been calling for Olshey head.

Obviously. He clearly prefers Nurk as the new GM.

 

[MARIS61]

We lost an ugly bell-to-bell blowout.

Pardon my lack of enthusiasm, but I think we win this game with Plumlee.

NURK FOR PRESIDENT!

I didn't care if we lost or won the game. Nurks looked good.

And plumlee wasnt the answer tonight. No one was. We got our asses kicked.

WTF?!? Such a jinx post.

Wasn't a bell to bell blowout.

If they had Plumlee instead of Meyers, maybe the game wouldn't have ended so lopsided.

I think we win this game with Turner and Aminu plus Nurkic

 

[Strenuus]

Depends on which Aminu shows up.

 

[Minstrel]

WTF?!? Such a jinx post.

Nothing can jinx the Nurk. Ha, I'd like to see some god try. Yes, I'd like to see that!

But it was actually a call-back to this post.

 

[Five Second Violation]

I think we win this game with prime Drexler.... And Sabonis.

Why would you say this?!!???

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

I think the real question that needs to be asked is who is going to make the Jusef Nurkic FU Tour 2017 thread and why hasn't @Strenuus made it yet????

His hands are busy at the moment....

Guys, I wasn't wishing serious injury on Nurk. I'm basically saying there's no way he can possibly suffer a serious injury. I mean, after all the previous injuries to Blazers centers, what are the odds? It's just not possible for it to happen again. Nurk's going to be just fine. I honestly believe we've kicked the curse and any vengeful gods.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I was really happy Nurkic had a good first game. This should help his confidence in himself and in the belief that a new team will help him turn it around. Hopefully the realization from his Denver experience that success isn't guaranteed, combined with his new chance, will give him the motivation to work really hard at getting in shape and improving his skills.

Mark this prediction down: Josuf Nurkic will win the 17-18 Most Improved Player award

Agreed - I just hope it doesn't lead to us winning games this season.

Things he does in that video that are incredibly refreshing:
BLOCK SHOTS!!!
Nifty spin moves.
Hits a long jumper.
That touch pass to Crabbe basically the first time he got the ball on offense.
Knock people over like ninepins.

BUT on the other hand, he was very rude. He made the rest of the Blazers look EXTRA bad by comparison.
