    Get well big man, see you on the court again around Christmas.

    Now it’s Collins time to shine, and it’s time to up the tempo of the offense to get more transition buckets. That would suit Collins skillset offensively at least.

    !@#$%^&*()_+ and further more+_)(*&^%$##@!@!. I honestly thought we were done with this shit with Oden and Roy I guess you could probably count Matthews with that too. Lets not forget PA's passing as well. This might be the very reason we cannot get any FA's here. Athletes are very superstitious and you have to admit Portland has had a cloud since the franchise began. I think there is an ancient Indian burial ground underneath the Coliseum and the Rose Garden. The goat may not be enough we might have to resort to virgins in St. Helens

    This isn't an Oden, Walton, Bowie thing. He landed wrong.

    Yep, this is a dumb luck injury in the same vein as Wes Matthews.

    If I'm Portkand Nurk doesn't play next year. Paul George was out 8 months, but Nurk is a lot heavier. Need to be cautious

    I do not believe Nurk is going to come back with the " I am afraid to mix it up scenario " 30 years ago his country was a battleground he is not some little snowflake out of college who was pampered all his life and folds like a cheap suit at the first sign of adversity. This right here will make him stronger.

    WTF!!! The Sam Bowie curse has resurrected. The Oden curse became the omen. (That ref is cruel.)

    It called into question PGs career too. Look how that turned out.

    Couldn't sleep. No use speculating about how or when Nurk returns. Just play hard in his honor. Best wishes to Nurk.

    My ankle still gives me trouble after a year, but I am around 30 years older. Can't compare.

    "The Oden Curse." lol. That's like leaving the film Get Out and saying, "Boy, that cop was racist."

    We've had so many good centers with bad legs it should be called "The Pinwheel Pandemic."

    Don't know if this had been said, but props to Rodney Hood for being the only one to come to his side right after the injury.

    PG’s injury was on August 1st playing for Team USA. He actually came back in 8 months to play 6 regular season games towards the end of the next season with IND. Had he been hurt in March (instead of August), an 8 month recovery is around Nov/Dec of the following season. No way to tell if Nurk’s timetable will be 8 months like PG, but year and a half seems unlikely.

    But like you, I’m still sick to my stomach.

    This is my fault. I'm sorry and I renounce my fan status. It will get better eventually. Bye

    The ref who kicks Nurk's broken leg is Tyler Ford. FUCK Tyler Ford.

    Fuck injuries man. It's always us, in some ways...

    But Nurk keep your head up. You had similar injury back in highschool days and you become one of the best centers in NBA. Prayers up for you man!
