[Official] Nurkić Watch Thread

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

OKC right?

The OKC game clinched it for us, but was well after we already pulled The Big Nurk.

 

[BBert]

If Nurk practiced today, then they will want to evaluate the leg tomorrow before deciding about Sunday. That seems pretty normal.

 

[PDXFonz]

I tried checking Bosnia-Herzegovina local news articles hoping that Nurk leaked that good good to his local news papers, but no luck. They are keeping this shit on the down low.

...keep checking, the leak is out there!

The entire injury was a smokescreen. After whooping Denver and creating a little distance (plus the tiebreaker), we knew we'd get in and wanted to rest the big fella as one big smokescreen. Having a rested and healthy big man and not letting GS understand our system with him was our best chance to shock the world.

Ed Davis too! He'll throw off the arm sling and show he's been healed!

 

[riverman]

I think Vonleh is going to have the playoffs of his life..this is his chance to beast!

I don't know man I've checked what seems like every local news site and found nothing more than articles mentioning that nurk is "waiting for the green light".

Have you actually seen something or are you speculating?

...it's "official", he is playing in Game 1!!! --> https://www.blazersland.com/nurkic-will-play-game-1-vs-warriors/

Haha I don't know whether or not to be happy because of how great this is, or pissed that you led me on!

...all of the above!

Ed Davis too! He'll throw off the arm sling and show he's been healed!

And Brandon Roy! He's going to show that his meniscus has magically grown back in both knees!

And Greg Oden. They've both been faking all this time so that they could return for this moment.

That link is just a made up rumor

Can you imagine them both bursting through the door screaming "SURPRISE MOTHAFUCKA" and shitting on the warriors

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Couldn't have said it better.

No you couldn't have.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Knees.

I liked this but you can get rekt too.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Kinda' like reading my posts FAMS?

Ummm, exactly different. We saw Sheed could dominate but didn't want to.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Mind. Blown.

Right, never really thought about it like that. Thing is, if he did realize it he went about it the wrong way.

 

[Minstrel]

That's playing the long con. I guess with Oden, everything's long.

 

[1eyejack]

The problem with GS is even if Jusuf plays GS will go small ball forcing him to guard someone on the perimeter. They'll abuse the hell out of him on switches. If he plays he has to kill them with offensive rebounds and post play.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Ed Davis too! He'll throw off the arm sling and show he's been healed!

No, that one was legit. Ed was clearly injured and his play was suffering.

I prefer cyborg Roy with robot legs and a double barreled shotgun left arm to shoot Draymond

If you insist in interpreting through your own personal sphere of understanding, sure. If you're willing to step outside yourself for a bit, you might be able to see how one could differentiate one from the other.

I insist on using reason to describe phenomena. As to what "interpreting through your own personal sphere of understanding," or "step outside yourself for a bit," might mean, I couldn't say; sort of sounds like the kind of gibberish a magical thinker might use to deflect having to defend their cockamamie ideas.

What an amazing analysis.
You mean big men have to score inside and rebound?
Shocker, thank god you said this, no one would have ever thought that 7 footers should be doing these things.

WAIT DID HURD JOIN THE FORUM?

To be fair, it's not certain whether Tater Totts knows that big men are often better utilized closer to the hoop.

 

[Nate]

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.

Posting lengthy, unnecessary information, is his way of trolling.

 

[damianlillard]

i think this can be his breakout party similar to how CJ dominated the grizzlies a couple years back

Gotta respect the dedication then.

 

[Pridan]

To be honest, apart from the Blazers being competitive and maybe pinching a game, this is really what I want to see, Vonleh take his game to another level and prove that he's a piece to build around.

If he can do that, it makes NO's life a heck of a lot easier this off season.

Yes, it will hence forth be known as pulling a "Big Nurk"
