I see some POR fans dont appreciate him enough and I dont like it to be honest, I dont get it, its not often we have that kind of talent on our hands and some of us are acting just like thats the case... sometimes I wish we let him go, so those people understand what we had and lost of course, they are minority, large majority of our fans supports Nurk
I love Nurk. But it'd be naive to think he doesn't have a lot of work to do still to become elite, to which I think he will get to. I more don't like him because of his antics, which then effect his game
@Strenuus youre Nurk hater #1 Id put you on ignore, but sadly I cant so you are my arch enemy #1 and Im gonna fight you as long Nurk is a Blazer
His play has regressed from what we saw of him last year, but he's till a good center, and has a lot of upside. It's surprising we're seeing him take a step back in a contract year. Imagine if Portland had just signed him to near the max, everyone would be saying he no longer cares because he got paid. Last year, going into him in the post gave the offense a new dimension, but this year, we're back to the same old habits of Dame and CJ forcing a lot of one on one action (something that's been talked about to death here). Like it or not, he's our only hope of being above mediocre any time soon.
lol I've always been one of his biggest supporters (Hell, I took Nurk in my fantasy league probably 3 rounds too soon because I am so high on him) but that doesn't mean he doesn't have flaws and things that annoy me. It's called being realistic about a player. Also, a quick news flash: There are people that actually don't like Nurk at all. I'm the least of your concerns. But I appreciate you.
Nurk hater? He just said he thought Nurk will become elite. I personally, welcome a flopper onto our team. Other teams all flop, and for some reason, the Blazers never seemed to. We need to flop to balance things out.

youre lying and I can see that, others cant... either that or you dont have a clue about basketball, but I wont insult you like that, so I will call you a liar
@Strenuus Im joking and I have to say that cause I dont want to get banned for teasing mod but I act like its forreal and I love it... Ill keep doing it you hater... switch to curling or something
your first part doesnt even make sense. I'm not the only person that has said these things - so that, in fact, means you just called anyone else who has said these things a liar as well. I'm sorry, man. Nurk is gonna be great here. But right now, he has stuff to work on. I've seen people defend players, but never so blindly. lol.
Denver has been known to take care of there players. They released Nelson instead of trading him to a bad team for a 2nd round pick.
Very telling of Denver players. Also my fav part of the article. Portland has three players who care more about the W than the #'s.
