    Where the Nurk haters at?

    If you keep him involved, he's going to produce. Fortunately, he has a point guard like Simons keeping him involved and getting the best out of him.

    I'm right here. If we were to get Ben Simmons, I'd want Nurk traded. If we're not absolutely positive that we can re-sign him, I want him traded. I want good value back for him but most likely, I want him gone. We know that he can dominate the game when he feels like it but we also know that sometimes he just doesn't feel like it.

    If CJ is here next year I want Cronin to do a press conference because that’s a terrorist act.

    about 15 seconds before the tatum missed three at the end, this Heinsohn wannabe Scalabrine was talking so much shit about Nurkic supposedly being unable to hang with Tatum. This was after how he kept saying Nurk was one of our worse defenders all night.

    Jusuf didn't let Tatum turn the corner and forced a three point attempt.

    Dumbass. Read a scouting report once. He's our best defender by far.

    Except I wish Simons would have looked for Nurk before taking that 3-pointer he missed just before Boston took the lead. I didn't think that was a great possession.

    Great win. Nice having a coach who will call for the intentional foul instead of letting the opponents get a three off.

    Portland with a gritty win in Boston. Nurk led the way with a monster game 29/17/6. We want to know, are you happy when they win right now? Come let us know in chat and discuss the game!

    How are you supposed to dominate a game when your starting backcourt was chucking up shots without getting the ball to him??? Make it make sense.

    CJ did make five threes and shot 5 for 7 on the free throw line, so I don't think he hurt his trade value tonight.

    I wish I got a dollar every time I heard someone say “he doesn’t have games like this often”

    seems to happen a lot. That narrative got LEAKS

    Our announcers made a point of showing Nurk's defense.
