    Yep, and then you have Shaq giving him mad props which is pretty special when you consider how hard it is as a center to get recognition from him. He doesn't normally say good things about yo ng centers because he usually measures them against himself.

    Portland is not the same team and is probably a top 10 team at this point.... record be damned.

    Nurk changed the whole identity of this team, he's special. He's still kind of raw and already has an above average skill set to grow from. He has single handedly brought a fire and excitement back to RipCity. I'm not sure that a lot of people understand just what we have in Nurk. I'm calling it now, he will be a top 3 center in this league in the near future.

    Both Crabbe and Harkless had unusually good games.

    If your Nurk lasts for more than 4 hours, contact your doctor.

    Dude we have a guy playing with a broken hand. Our C we signed last year didn't play a single minute. Our other C just had shoulder surgery. Dame's been battling ankle injuries all year. If this dude can jack up 13 3s, his wrist isn't all that bad.

    Just want to step back and remark at how amazing it is for an opposing team's fan to come in here and whine about injuries on our forum. Lmao. Just reinforcing my opinion of the whiniest fanbase in the league

    Sly, please don't get your rashes confused with Nurkic Fever.

    Just saying, I worry about you bro.

    If his wrist hurts so bad, maybe he shouldn't jack up 30 shots.

    We were the best team in March record-wise!

    I don't want to jinx anything, but Nurk's Blazer numbers Per36 are shockingly close to Bill Walton's 1976-77 Per36 numbers...

    Harkless did a great job totally overplaying his left hand and forcing him to go right. That caused Harden to cough up the ball. Is his right wrist injured, too?

    ET had a weird game. On one had he took 2 shots, but both were 3's. That has to stop.

    But he played tough D and had 5 assists in 19 minutes. He needs to keep playing IMO to see if he can play better with that wrap on his hand by the time the playoffs start. We need his D on Klay. But it is frustrating to watch him struggle right now.

    I noticed that too. Considering he's the only reason why they're even in the playoffs to begin with, I find their complaints odd. Very odd.
