    Okay.
    So Nurk is out.
    We all just watched Harry Giles hit some shots and play fairly well even though it was garbage time.

    Time for the guy to step up.

    Honestly it’s time to think about moving on from Nurkic. He can never stay healthy and he has derailed too many runs. We spend so much time waiting for him to come back and ramp up, then he gets injured again. We can no longer ignore his lack of availability when it matters.
    His body can't keep up on a NBA Level. Right knee inflammation on a minutes restriction and the schedule is only getting harder. I hope he proves me wrong but I think his 30+ minutes per game days are over until next year, if that. Nurk pretty much never averaged over 30 mpg. Shoulda picked up Boogie

    That Jazz game looks like a decent possibility. Of course they are good and it is never a great excuse but that game is quite possibly as close to a schedule loss as any we have seen if the Blazers are playing well and have Nurk playing. I could see the Blazers stealing one.

    Assuming he gets to play.

    EDIT: I see I’m way behind the pack.

    That seems to be the overall opinion here.
    Maybe Giles needs to step up and tell Stotts he needs to play this game.

    Getting Boogie would be waving the white flag. If Nurk broke his leg and wrist because he’s got brittle bones or whatnot then you have a point. But if those were just bad luck, he’s otherwise played in 95% of his regular season games as a Blazer so he is capable of staying healthy.

    We need to move on from Nurk, Collins, and CJ after this season.
