maybe im wrong, but the only reason i can think of is the hate he gets by the fans, hes been the scapegoat for quite some and it all intensified during this terrible period for the trail blazers... i really hope thats not the case and i hope someone hacked his social meadia and shut it down
 
I see a lot more trashing of Dame around here than of Nurkic

also...social media has become a giant cesspool, especially since Musk took over twitter
 
I hope everything is good with Nurk. He isn't perfect, but he's a legit matchup problem at both ends for most teams.

its not about this forum, its about his social media

fans are shifty (any fans for that matter), they will get on anyones back, but this is different, nurk is really a guy with a target on his back

Or; hear me out, he just doesn't want social media right now. For F' sakes, people!
it could be, but even in a difficult times (leg break, death of his grandma), he didnt delete social media

however, lets hope its what you said and he wants to focus solely on bball and help his team improve... his self accountability in the press after last nights game would back up your theory
 

thats exactly what i wrote in my last post, team is in a trouble right now and he sees himself as part of the problem and now he wants to be part of the solution, so he sees social media as unnecessary distraction right now

that would actually really impress me if true, thats a leader move right there
 
I commend Nurk for deleting social media.....it's such an unnecessary part of life...I thought his humble self efacing post game interview after the Magic loss was a sign of adulthood and loss of goofy young snark. Nurk is a damned good center and we need a damned good center. I think he's been great a lot of this season. The guy who should delete social media is Chauncey
 
fans hate for nurk is real, but my assumption about his social media could be wrong of course
I'm not on social media except for you tube channels and here....he won't miss them at all. I haven't seen hate for Nurk on any basketball channels I follow so that must be a twitter or instagram problem for him. I don't use those platforms because I have seen them become toxic.
 
he deleted instagram, twitter & facebook

whats interesting, in his facebook page, its usually bosnian people writing, not much of a trail blazers fans, but on twitter & instagram, its all trail blazers fans
 
I love the dude and he is by far not the only one to blame for our current run. Probably a good thing to take a break from it for his own mental health; not a real fan imo if you abuse one of your own players anyway.

That is a great move for a leader to take.

From my vantage point Nurk has not been the primary issue. My biggest complaint is that he's getting called for too many offensive fouls while screening. Unfortunately Nurk doesn't have control over many of them. Frequently it is because the guy with the ball is moving 0.5-second early.... although there also have been a LOT of very questionable calls that should be a no-call.

I think you spend WAY too much time thinking about this man.

I think he blocked you dude. Probably got tired of you DMing him that the blazers should trade Dame and pay him a super max.
 
I'm a Nurk fan and I think it's awesome that people eliminate problems from their day to day lives. I don't miss anything about facebook but facebook informed me I didn't need twitter or instagram either. He'll be better spending that time texting his family and friends or facetiming them.
 
Maybe he's taking a stand against the Muskrat?

I think Dame has more WTF turnovers than Nurk. But it's good he's identified an area that he plans to work on improving. He's already improved his patience and shots around the basket, so that's good. He's also stopped making all those dumbass reach fouls he used to get away from the basket.

Nurk's a great piece for us when his head is right.

:cheers:
 
Good for him. Social media can be a cess pool, especially if you're slightly insecure and moody.
 
The worst thing about Nurk is that Billups isn't utilizing him correctly.
This is correct. Nurk is a fantastic defensive C if he’s utilized the right way with the right pieces around him. If Chauncey has a system that he’s married to then Joe needs to move Nurk or fire Chauncey. It’s not fair to the team or Nurk to have the guy constantly defending in space.

It’s also true on the other side of the ball where we should be punishing any team that doesn’t have a big who can defend Nurk. We’re not doing any of that.

So it’s time to deal Nurk, fire Chauncey or convince Chauncey that he needs to use Nurk correctly.
