    That's how I feel about him. He makes predictably stupid fouls too. I remember watching a game with friends, and when there was a questionable call against the Blazers I said "nurks gonna get an offensive foul here".

    And literally the next play was an offensive foul by Nurk.

    He's like Kevin Duckworth, without the weight issues.

    There couldn't be a more perfect game for me to hate our roster construction more. These guys have like seven guys that are big/long and athletic... if you consider Jerami big/long then we have one. Fucking A!

    You can buy biscoff cookies as biscoff cookies. Safeway will have them every so often, same with FM.

    And they are seriously fucking awesome cookies. Have you had their peanut butter?


    Oh dear god, put that on toast with regular peanut butter, and it's like an orgasm in your mouth.

    Nas's shot has become quite reliable of late. GREAT to see!

    That's why you gotta put it with regular peanut butter, it's kinda sickly sweet on it's own, but as an accent, it's good.

    Grant sparked this comeback with a layup and a block leading to Lillard and Nas scoring

    How we're hanging around in this one is beyond me. Sure we started like dogshit but those of you who think that Chauncey is bad at rotating guys in and making adjustments might want to re-watch what has happened in this game.

    I don't know if the stats back it up, but he seems to go on these 1-2 month stretches where he's a great shooter, and then the next month or two he can't hit anything.

    His lack of an outside shot was why he slipped to us in the first place; props to him for putting in the reps to improve!

    Yeah I completely agree. He’s mentally checked out. He’d be better off with a fresh start somewhere else

    I would venture to say that at this point Jerami is the only player on this roster that is a perfect fit for what Chauncey wants or at least what his philosophies call for.

    Had a chance to cut it to 10, Dame instead threw a idiotic half court pass and now back to blowout.

    Without Nurk, Toronto is absolutely feasting in the paint.
