    I had a great time at this game. Yes there were mistakes but there were also moments of heroism from all 5 starters not to mention Ed Davis and Evan Turner. Gotta sleep. Flight to Sacramento tomorrow. Nurk can play like this every night, I think.

    How he got them is irrelevant. I'm just saying that maybe they were afraid he would foul out if they gave him the ball too much. :dunno:

    How do you guys stand NBA.com.... it's a total dumpster fire. I used to use it all the time, but they changed the site to be more mobile friendly a few years ago and now it's the worst site on the web for NBA news.

    He was super pissed about those two illegal screen calls against Nurk. I thought he was going to get Td up.

    They probably think it's the end of society as we know it. It's okay though, AI robots will kill everybody in the future and rule the world

    I regret because i wasn't able to watch the match. Drama again. Feel happy that Nurk played well aside those TOs.

    Hope we will back to winning track.

    In the final 4 minutes and in the first minute of OT Nurk had 3 turnovers from Lillard getting him the ball 15ft from the hoop near the wing/elbow position.
    Only to have Nurk pass open an easy 10ft shot or even a layup.
    To go and try and make a pass in traffic.
    Batum was all too ready to stop that pass every time.
    It became comical to me.
    Then reading certain posts(not yours) on here made it even more comical.

    Nurk was great. His unselfishness when he's playing great can be a hindrance at times.
    However in the last 4 minutes of regulation he had what seemed like 4 or 5 straight blocks.
    He was dominate on the defensive end. I just wish he was more selfish at times, but he's young.
    I'm sure the coaching staff when reviewing the tape will mention something about that.
    If I can see it as a fan. professionals certainly could see the same thing.

    I do think that some of those blocks. not being called fouls even it they were clean, were helped by Terry finally blowing up on the refs. Nurk does not always get away with those. But maybe just maybe we got some calls on the other end to make up for the picks on Nurk. Regardless Nurk kept his cool and did not let the bad calls take him out of the game.

    Now for those two stupid forced passes to Harkless that were not even close.......

    One of those passes was a great read and would've been an easy layup had Harkless not stopped. I don't blame either guy though. Just bad luck.

    how good Nurk plays when he has 4 or 5 fouls, he has extreme awareness and plays so smart without getting ejected
    in that BOS game refs threw him out with illegal screen call if Im not mistaken

    if only he was there to guard Al Horford, we saw what he did to Howard on the buzzer beater last night
