    Word is Nurkic suffered the non-displaced fractured fibula during Thursday’s 117-107 victory over the Rockets, but continued to play on it, ultimately tweaking it again later in the game.

    He finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks in 32 minutes, and he played until the buzzer. So, the fracture can’t be that serious.

    Inside the Blazers, there appears to be some optimism that Nurkic will be available for the playoffs. In a text message Friday evening, team captain Damian Lillard was asked for his thoughts on the Nurkic news.

    Lillard's response:

    “Tough news … Fortunate for us we’ve created a little gap. Next guy has to be ready to step up … But at least we can expect to see him for the playoffs,’’ Lillard wrote.

    We're 2 games ahead of Denver and we hold the tiebreaker.

    I think Vonleh will stand out as a small ball center. This is an opportunity more for him than Meyers, and also a chance for the coaching staff to evaluate a small ball lineup that could really help vs golden state. Remember last year when we beat them and how much Vonleh stood out. Maybe it turns into a long term scenario.

    If Nurk doesn't get hurt... we win one game against the Warriors in the first round..... maybe two.

    If Nurk doesn't get hurt.... we get swept.

    Does it really matter?

    Yes. Even though you try, we can't predict what will happen in the playoffs. What's important is that we have our best players and put in our best effort. Anything is possible.

    Its not like Nurk was carrying the team along by himself. Im all about some Nurk too but we are still capable of winning games. We bust ass for the next two weeks and then Nurk comes back hungry for Warrior meat. We be ok.

    Does anyone else kind of feel like being a Blazer fan sometimes feels like you're having a nightmare or watching a really bad movie?

    I swear, just when I started to get excited about the teams chances to possibly get HCA in the playoffs next year this shit happens.

    Someone better pass them in the hunt for the 8th seed.

    If anyone wants to argue this logic please first point me to your time-space dimension warping device.

    Couple great posts there. Many by other posters too. If Dame, of all people, is still being optimistic, then why can't we be? Yup, it's our crappy luck, as I have witnessed for 40+ years. Let's go small ball, and see what these guys can do. Shoot, play Layman too. Whatever happens, I am SO looking towards the future with this team. I couldn't say that 3 months ago....

    It was fairly obvious when he broke it. Can't be that surprised if you watched the game. Could be alot worse.

    I bet Denver would give us Plumlee back.

    Is the Nurkic effect powerful enough that Meyers leads this team to an 0-7 finish, Denver catches the Blazers and Portland becomes the first team in history to get the #1 pick out of the #14 position. :welcome:
