    First opponent shot of the season is a WIIIIIDE OPEN '3'.

    Our first shot....a fadeaway sideways 18'er.

    Our 2nd shot.....Nurk missing his typical flip gimme.

    Sigh....hope this changes in a hurry.

    Nurk blowing that layup is a 4 point swing.

    This doesn't look significantly better than the pre-season.

    Because he broke his leg and is trying to limit the amount of landing on the legs he has to do.

    He couldn't have dunked that but he could have realized that like he always is, he was the biggest guy in the paint so he should have slowed it down and finished strong instead of weak. I would like a dunk too but I'd settle for a strong layup too. Just has to get his fucking feet under him.

    he cant do it, otherwise he would do it regularly

    hes huge and heavy, its difficult to run from one end to another, jump to grab rebounds, defend, attack, its exhausting

    He's more apt to break that leg going as fast as he is than just getting up an inch higher with his feet under him and dunking it.
