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?

No need to be jackass,

For those of us not in PDX, could a local keep us updated? I assume he'll suit up. Any word on whether he's been practicing with the team or what his status is for Game 1? Needless to say, he changes the entire way we play on both ends of the ball.

Just saw he was listed as questionable, don't think anyone really knows anything.

My favorite implementation of this was on twitter:

So I wonder how many people noticed the end tweet was 5 years later....

I thin it was legit, and it's the whole point of the post

And that's why it wasn't so funny to me the first time around. I was blasting through the posts, and didn't catch that....

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Does anyone know if Nurkie is playing?

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Yeah that's MY schtick, guys!

[bodyman5000 and 1]

[PDXFonz]

Shit.

That's alright, catch them by surprise and hope he can return at some point.

 

[AFully22]

[Haakzilla]

...whelp, I guess my rumor was just that get well soon big man!

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn

 

[Chris Craig]

I refuse to believe it till tip off

 

[Jon]

Shit. This game is going to be ugly.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Damian will score 55. If anyone can go off in a game like this he can. Or he'll go 4-21.

Hope I don't get a "when keeping it real goes wrong"

 

[BonesJones]

Welp. Let the ass-whooping commence.

 

[julius]

I'd rather be safe than sorry. Even with Nurk it was at best a 6 game series.

 

[riverman]

Time of year when bench guys get a chance to make a name....big stage...GO BLAZERS!!!!

 

[Dougnsalem]

Fake news. I'll believe it when I hear it from Woj

 

[KingSpeed]

This sucks. I feel led on.

Curious if you guys who seemed bummed about this actually thought he was coming back? When the injury happened there were multiple posters on here who posted links on how long the average player was out with this same injury and they were all 5-6 weeks. Did you guys not see those?

Why exactly? Did you oversell, under deliver yourself again? Seems like a habit with you. Set yourself up for a crash.

Nurk isn't the average player! He is the god damn Bosnian Beast!

 

[KingSpeed]

What changed between yesterday and today that made him go from questionable to no go?

I didn't think he was coming back so not surprising. However I kept hearing non weight bearing so figured it was a tossup.

Just read that the bones stabilizes the ankle so I'm fine if he does play at all.
