    Just once I’d like to crush a bad team and never let them back in.

    At times yes. At times Nurk is just as bad.
    This game Nurk doesn’t seem to want to quit talking to refs and play the game?
    I’ll add he has made some real good defensive plays.

    Since he is a 2nd year undrafted player, I still think he is worth having around. You put some more experience on that - and he will be a nice rotation player for years to come.

    Usually at the age when their star players start to decline.

    The TEAM seems to play better against the Spurs tonight with Eubanks in there.
    Nurk might just not be suited for this matchup?

    I'm not allowed to comment on Blazers who are no longer with the organization.

    we must be watching completely different games. nurk is fundamentally so sound on defense. eubanks chases blocks and misses half the time while letting his teammates out to dry. it's like watching whiteside but worse cuz he can't rebound worth a damn.

    a backup big is our biggest need.

    Nurk could have and should have dominated this game.

    That simply isn’t true. Totally different styles of play. There is absolutely no way Drew could do what Nurk does and vice versa.
    Nurk doesn’t even try to block a shot. Stands there and lets players shoot over him.
    If Eubanks played with the low energy and complacency Nurk does he’d be out of the league.

    The sketchy (at times) group to start the 4th quarter is holding up ok so far.

    if your characterization of nurk on defense is "low energy," i dont even know what to tell you. simply not even on the same page with what i see and how many things he's responsible for.

    Nurk isn't taking advantage of the matchup.
