What's up with Nurk

[illmatic99]

How do you light a fire under his ass? Looks terrible on both ends and fat and plodding. I want the motivated, nimble Nurk back.

 

[Chris Craig]

Need to bench his ass and play Giles. The way he has played he doesn't deserve to be in the game.

 

[Mr. Robot]

nurk can go fuck himself

and im bosnian

 

[Chris Craig]

Its not even a matter of being out of shape. He just care to be in the game. Every pass is lazy. He is like the sloths in that animated movie

Fire the coach. I bet Damian would play better too.

Matter of fact, I think the whole team would.

Getting in better shape will solve a lot of these issues. Hard to be mentally engaged when the legs are dragging and you can't jump as high as you wanted to.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He’s playing like he knows he going to be traded

He needs to put down the Bosnian pastries and get his ass in the gym

 

[julius]

I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, i hope it ends soon. He's been ass every game this year (pre-season included).

 

[RR7]

Part is he still looks out of shape.
I imagine part is he is seemingly asked to do a ton of dirty work with no reward. Set a pick up top, watch a 3 go up and fight 1 on 4 for a rebound. Now sprint back on D and cover for 3 guys. Repeat. I dont think he makes great decisions on the block all the time, but I think he needs to be "rewarded" with way more post up opportunities and ability to run the offense from the block than he is getting. Otherwise, I imagine you run in to that disinterest.

Nurk is flatout, playing awful. Especially on the offensive end. His finishing is worse than i've ever seen. I love Nurk, as many Blazers fans do, but he needs to figure it out, and soon. He literally looks like he's forgotten how to shoot the ball near the basket. He's playing like a total stiff right now, and IT HAS TO CHANGE, if the Blazers are to be the team they, and many of us, think they are. C'mon Nurk.

Zootopia was an amazing movie

 

[Natebishop3]

I still think he’s dealing with depression about the death of his grandma.

 

[Labinot41]

Trade his lazy ass

 

[Serbian]

Kanter needs to start. Nurkic is terrible just terrible

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

CJ/Nurk/picks/+

for Harden

 

[B-Roy]

Just look at Nurk in 2019. Visibly skinnier, moving way better.

Right now, he's the type of plodding center that is unplayable in the modern game.

 

[wizenheimer]

It's obvious...who could focus wearing hair like that?

I actually don't see a big difference in size. He just looks super rusty right now. And he's not tracking the ball off the glass as well so far. I'm hoping he gets it going soon.

Looks way slimmer by my eyes. Just look at the arms:

 

[tykendo]

he's also over a year older now. He's filling out. He did look quick in the bubble. What the heck happened in Bosnia, workout wise, i mean.

 

[Tince]

He came in to camp out of shape, he's still out of shape, and until he gets in shape, I don't expect anything to change.

Totally unprofessional to come into camp like this and I love Nurk!

 

[tykendo]

I think sometimes Nurk becomes a legend in his own mind, and comes off as if he's too cool for it all. He needs to re-focus, and get back to being all he can be, then he can go back to acting cool. Don't talk the talk, walk the walk baby. Love Ya Nurk.

 

[ehizzy3]

This is a contract year for Nurk right? And he came into the season like this. Pretty stupid move by him.

nvm he has another year after this one

 

[AldoTrapani]

Why is everybody shocked? This dude always had this rep. It’s the reason he was signed for cheap and ppl got surprised how we got him to resign for so low.

Imo Nurkic is garbage

 

[LayneStaley]

So it’s decided Nurk, CJ, Simons for Harden

Dame/Harden
Harden/Trent
DJJ/Hood/Nas
RoCo/Melo
Kanter/Giles/Collins(eventually)

Dame
Harden
DJJ
RoCo
Collins(if healthy)

That ^ might be nice

I wanna keep Nurk but I honestly don’t think we take a step forward with a bunch of good players. If you can put Dame and Harden together do it.
