    Well no schedule but they announced that the NBA regular season would start on October 17th about ten days earlier than normal.

    Nurk is working on his ball handling and shooting according to his instagram. He looks good, but he's playing against chairs so who knows. (I'd challenge Meyers to mimic his dribbling though)

    This guy will be 23 at the start of the season. Man. He looks downright skinny, and that handle looks legit for a guy his size.

    And it looks like he's wearing shoulder pads in that pic. He really is looking in good shape. I'm really excited about this coming season.

    I love how he's emulating going against Dame and CJ in Blazer practice by using those chairs as defense.

    I know one thing, Nurk is a master at marketing himself. I mean that in a good way. The guy works hard, but also lets everyone know about it. Builds his brand and makes everyone feel good about it at the same time.

    Definitely. He's a pretty charismatic guy who seems to be taking lessons from Lillard about building his reputation (a la the License to Lillard vids).

    He seems to really be relishing the change of scenery from Denver. It reminds me a lot of the way Zach Randolph rehabilitated his image in Memphis. Never in a million years did I think an entire fanbase would clamor to retire Z-bo's number, and yet here we are.

    15 years from now, we'll all want to retire Z-Bo's number too. A different name will be on it, but that's beside the point.

    Anyone else notice that it looks like Sylvester runs like he has a metal rod in his back? So stiff. It'd be like if Meyers Leonard shrunk about 18 inches, grew out thick luscious black hair and ran like someone who has to go to the bathroom really bad.

    Jusuf with more gravity than a black hole. She literally cannot re-position her neck to look toward the camera. It's physically impossible.
