They told us my son could leave them in and he'd never notice them at all. There are a few occasions after some time that they can have them removed if they want to though.
Yeah, It seems like his minutes really went down after Kanter came in, I think he needs to play.
Meyers is fine. Who knows he may even win a game for us in a playoff series if he hits some flameballs. This is also a reason we signed Kanter. I know his defense isn't as good but he was literally averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds a game this year just like Nurk was.
Am I seeing things or does Nurk’s left foot appear to lean to the outside in this photo (u may have to zoom in)? I believe this is called over-supination. It’s apparently fairly common but Nurk’s seems particularly exaggerated. I wonder if this is putting extra strain on his bones/joints, especially when he lands? Probably nothing and I’m sure the Blazers training staff have put extra cushioning in his shoe(s) to compensate ...
depends upon who is torturing you at the time
Glad to hear your son is on the mend...
STRIKE 5!!!!
Just like my wife's heart.
Or, and bear with my on this, a GM could not sign stupid contracts that put the team in a bad cap situation.
Then pretty much every GM would get fired every year!
I don't think crying qualifies as letting something control you. That's just an involuntary physical manifestation of an emotional state.
Ouch.
WTF is up with the ref bumping into Nurk's foot as he's lying on the floor in agony.
Meyers is an excellent passer. Doesn't make the clever passes that Nurk does, but his passes are crisp, clean, and on target. He keeps the ball moving.
I hear you. While it certainly isn't the ref's fault that he got hurt, and you will never prevent all injuries from happening. I thought the refs in the Brooklyn game did a bad job at setting the tone to give players space to land long before the Nurkic injury. I don't know if it would've changed anything at all, and that's why I'm not blaming them, but there were several times in the game where a player was in the air and someone would jump right underneath them now part of that is just basketball and things will happen. At least in my opinion, though part of what a ref does is set the tone for what's over the line and what isn't, it's the tone of the game and how physical it will be. I'm ok with a physical game and all that but the chance for injury goes up when "dangerous" plays are allowed to happen with no calls because as players they're going to do whatever they can get away with. If those plays are being allowed they'll keep doing it. I know you have an incredible eye for the game but to me, there were many occasions where Dudley in particular (but other guys too on both teams), did not give a player space to land and that's dangerous and they need to be called early. That could have happened in a perfectly officiated game, and sometimes horribly officiated games don't result in any injuries at all.
