    Again I would not chance playing him. It needs to heal right. We are not beating the Warriors regardless. Unless there is no way you can make it worse by playing on it.....don't rush him back!

    The starting center for your Portland Trail Blazers.....Meyers Leonard! (That right there should be worth a Lottery pick)

    So no lottery picks and also no chance of competing with Golden State...

    This sounds like basketball purgatory to me...

    I really had hopes for us to have a nice run with GS, but I guess we could find really nice silver lining here. Nurk will be fine. Maybe he will even be fine for GS..Our future looks good anyway. I mean it looks soooo much better than we could pray for just few weeks ago.

    With this few games left we can find out who staying for next season, who's really worth it for this team. Players have a boost from Nurk and now they ALL have to step up strong. Before Nurk there were not much hope any of them (apart of 2) has enough attitude to help us for long term. Were there some issues in locker room before Nurk? Maybe. So now, when air is clear I hope we can find out who's who for us.
    Can Heartless be more than two games in - two games out? Can Vonleh turn Hulk by himself? We don't have C, so we're not gonna kick asses, but it's perfect time to show some balls.

    You seriously waited until Nurk got hurt to come back? At least blend in when we're winning. lol.

    No WAY. From what I had seen of his interviews he will be back in one week. He doesn't accept road blocks.

    It would be a challenge no doubt. We need to somehow keep winning. But the bright side is some of our other bigs get more of a chance, maybe they can assert themselves and hopefully we stay in the playoff picture

    I love that Meyers "5 years of getting a chance, has two herniated discs" Leonard is getting yet ANOTHER chance. I mean, Gee willigers!

    Just trying to stay positive. Meyers, Vonleh, Aminu would get more minutes, probably more Harkless at the 4 so more minutes for Turner and Crabbe in their natural position and maybe some minutes for Napier as well. No doubt it would be a challenge but maybe some of these players benefit from the larger role

    OK, this is fucking creepy.
    I turned on my pc and the first thing i did was click on hoopshype, while it was loading i had a strange feeling it will say "Nurkic is down" on the front page,i don't know why. The page comes up and it says "Nurkic is out for two weeks".

    wtf

    Well.. I don't want to say. I called it..
    But I had a few posters on this forum jump at me and tell me my injury concerns about Nurk weren't valid.
    I wonder if this makes me right?

    for gods sake, non-displaced fibula fracture is one of the most common fractures, so Im not bothered by it
    that could happen to any of us and it doesnt mean were injury prone

    its minor injury, nothing to worry about
