The Nurkic effect...

[Scalma]

No personal insults is pretty much the only rule. Attack what someone is saying, not them personally.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

seriously? on this forum? lol

 

[Eastoff]

so hes lying.. shame on you, julius, shame on you!



my guess would be: moral support, although I wouldnt ruled out that hes afraid of Bosnian Beast

Where is Tyrell Wellick?

 

[Dougnsalem]

His screens are huge, his roll is scary to stand in front of, and he has a spin move if he sees opposing centers.

No doubt. He did one in the last game that was amazing. I just don't see how he can be so fast, with how big he is. Impressive.....

From what I can see, both Dame and CJ are getting more open shots from the massive screens that Nurkic is setting. He is literally moving the defender which gives the guards room to shoot or drive to the basket. Plumlee was a good screener, but he never had the physical mass that Nurkic has.

I am waiting for the complaints from other coaches to start, but he looks like he gets set. I would think that most guards will think twice about jumping the screens after he lays them out a few times. It might be worth a hard foul a game to remind them.

After what Golden State does every night how can they complain about us?

 

[noknobs]

tbh, I still dont know if I can behave more freely, cause I dont know the forum rules

man Ive been joking whole my life, its all about that with me.. many people dont understand me, cause I use sarcasm alot, and I like to provoke people, but in a good way, just to get their reaction haha

Id like to know if more freely conversation is allowed here :-D

If you do insult someone, Slypokerdog will replace your victim's name with his own (ex. - "Slypokerdog is an idiot")

So you can get away with insulting people if you simply quote the person you intend to insult, then preemptively replace their name with Slypokerdog. Everyone will still know who you're talking about.

Slypokerdog couldn't have explained it better himself. (I actually thought he did make that post, until I looked again....) Lol

No one is quite sure, but it happens.

 

[Trackjack]

Another guy setting nice screen is Vonleh he set one last game that he almost broke guard in half and it was a legal screen.

Damn, I thought I was being really sneaky.

Damn, I thought I was being really sneaky.

And I just thought that everyone hated you....

Most do.

The Blazers asked me last year why everyone hates me. I explained what was going on and they looked at me like I was nuts.

 

[Shaboid]

SlyPokerDog is a SlyPokerDog. Worst insult ever

 

[SIeepwalker]

sure man, I love Dame Dolla, Leonard not so much hahaha

I love this guy already, he knows his stuff

 

[Voodoo]

We all know that the sequence of those events were in the other order Sly, they do the same thing we do. Look at you like you are nuts, ask what you are doing, then listen to whatever comes out and keep trying to go on living our lives.

I like that a happy article about Dame is brought to me by State Farm!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

To answer your question, yes trolling is allowed but please try and keep it somewhat fun. If you post multiple posts of nothing but Lillard sucks there is going to be a problem.

Whereas if you make multiple posts that Lillard is a perfect basketball player and leader of the free world, that will not be a problem.

"Since the All-Star break, Nurkic is in the top five in the screen assists, which the league defines as a screen that directly leads to a made field goal by that teammate."

"Perimeter offenses thrive on striking fast and taking advantage of mismatches, but sometimes, the biggest mismatch a team will find on a given play is when a center slams a defender out of commission."

Wow are sly poker dog that dumb?

 

[Boob-No-More]

Some one asked about our improve defense, post all star game, specifically our guards. I posted the following in that thread, but since it's a troll thread, it will largely go unnoticed. So, I thought I'd share it here, as well, as more evidence of the Nurk Effect:

Here's the TEAM ratings, before and after the all star break.

Pre All Star: OFFRTG = 106.5, DEFRTG = 109.0, NETRTG = -2.5, Rank = 23
Post All Star: OFFRTG = 111.4, DEFRTG = 107.6, NETRTG = +3.8, Rank = 6

The defense has gotten better, but the offense has improved even more. With both moving in the right direction, our NETRTG has gone from 23rd in the league (pre all star) to 6th in the league (post all star).

In a more traditional sense, our average point differential has gone from -2.8 ppg to +3.2 ppg. That's a pretty impressive turnaround.

For Crabbe and C.J. (insert obligatory small sample size post all star disclaimer):

C.J. McCollum:
Pre All Star: OFFRTG = 107.9, DEFRTG = 109.3, NETRTG = -1.4
Post All Star: OFFRTG = 110.6, DEFRTG = 107.4, NETRTG = +3.2

Allen Crabbe:
Pre All Star: OFFRTG = 104.1, DEFRTG = 110.3, NETRTG = -6.2
Post All Star: OFFRTG = 110.7, DEFRTG = 109.4, NETRTG = +1.3

You didn't ask, but someone will...

Damian Lillard:
Pre All Star: OFFRTG = 108.4, DEFRTG = 110.7, NETRTG = -2.3
Post All Star: OFFRTG = 113.4, DEFRTG = 107.0, NETRTG = +6.4

And, the biggest turnaround on the team (not surprisingly)...

Noah Vonleh:
Pre All Star: OFFRTG = 96.0, DEFRTG = 105.5, NETRTG = -9.6
Post All Star: OFFRTG = 109.1, DEFRTG = 100.8, NETRTG = +8.3

I was actually wondering last night "who's impacted more from the arrival of Nurkic, Dame or Vonleh?" Looks like it wasn't that stupid of a question...
