[Official] Nurkić Watch Thread

[HailBlazers]

Hell, I'll take one of those male cheerleaders. They've gotta be good for something, right?

Speaking of good for something, how about Meyers gets himself banned from the league?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Smh, @Boob-No-More I obviously know that a meniscus injury is different from Nurk's problem. I'm not that stupid. Good lord-- no need for that huge ass post pointing out these differences.

I just am pointing out a star player going down so close to the playoffs and fans waiting on pins on needles wondering when he'll return draws parallels to BRoy.

And I was I was responding to your comment that Roy was never the same after that.

BNM

A-fucking-men.

I agree with Rick Barry. "I would never take the chance with somebody you knew was valuable to your future. Not to play in a series that you knew your chances were remote to win even if everything was going your way," Barry said. "I'd look to the future."

Even if there is only a 5% chance of re-injuring the leg or getting a new injury because he is not in the best shape (exacerbated by the two week layoff), why take that chance?

These players have a 5% chance on the daily of serious injury. #rickbarryscurred

Why suit up at all during the year? Players could get injured at any time. The only logical thing to do is never play our star players and only play guys like Layman and Connaughton... Except if they are all we play then they are our stars, in which case we should just not play basketball at all anymore. Lets just blow bubbles on the court while the other team scores.

So if he plays and makes its worse what does that mean? Like worse case scenario? I'm asking but my guess is a full on break that takes a few months to heal in the offseason. That specific doesn't seem like it would be a long term issue. I mean, easy for me to say, it's not my leg but the question remains what is REALLY the worst case scenario?

He breaks his leg to where his knee dislocates which makes his hip pop out of socket which makes him fall onto lillards leg and snaps his knee in half with the bone sticking out that stabs mccollom in the eye.

So worst case we have to start Shabazz?

I guess I can go add the word realistic if you want

Everyone grab your torches, pitchforks, dildos, and golf clubs.....we're going to Jon's place.

Realistic worst case? Massive earthquake that kills both teams and 20,000 fans.

Ok, ok, realistic worst case injury scenario in relation to the current leg fracture that Nurkic currently has? Did I miss anything?

This forum is like wishing on the monkey's paw.

And that would be Blazer luck right there, up 3-1 in the series and winning game 5 and the big one hits. FML

Thats what i was going to say...

Yep, you win. Sorry I asked

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Microfracture surgery

They don't do MF on athletes anymore.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Tomorrow is Christmas.

I grew up in a household where it lacked (just ask @UncleCliffy'sDaddy).

Nurk is out.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

When the Blazers win in six you just might get what you want. California falling in to the ocean.

I am just cringing and shuddering in absolute horror watching you guys play keep away with the Basketball Gods, saying "neener neerer neener, you can't catch me!" with all your injury talk and trying to outdo each other with thinking up the most devastating injuries that could befall this Blazers team.

This is a desperate plea; Please Please PLEASE STOP. I am literally begging you to please stop thinking negatively and to try being positive.

Mike Richman on his podcast also said he thinks Nurk will play game 1 after talking to him. But there's nothing concrete to back this claim.

I'm not Christian, but I just realized that today is Good Friday and our game is on Easter Sunday.

Ahem. Something symbolic about our big guy returning potentially on that day.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

I find it ironic and a double standard that when someone on here says they wish (insert player here) would suffer (insert injury here) and within 3 posts after that there is someone on here saying something along the lines of this;

" I despise ( insert player here) but I would never wish serious harm to anyone no matter how much I hate ( insert player here) This is just a game after all."

Yet when our own players are talked about in the same manner its no holds barred and anything goes and everyone is perfectly okay with it.

What?

With how freaky it is with people talking negatively and then something bad happening shortly after why not use that power and channel it towards bad things happening to the Warriors players?

I'll start;

I hope Durant doesn't severely turn his ankle in this series against us. That would hurt the Warriors chance of beating the Blazers especially when Nurkic goes and gets his first triple double.

Your turn...........
