    So question.
    If this forum is giving Nurkic a pass for at times trying to hard, and making some first game mistakes.
    With as often as the baseball player has actually got meaningful game-time action. Shouldn't he get the same pass?
    The baseball player actually made some plays, to go along with the mistakes he made.

    Hobert threw an elbow at Nurkic and now I think he might want to check on his family in st ettiene.

    How do the two correlate, at all? Nurkic is in his LITERAL 1st game with his new team

    Connaughton has been our cheerleader for 2 years... How can you even compare the two? Connaughton shouldn't make mistakes at this point because he's practiced and played with these guys....

    I don't know how he pulls it off, but even when Meyers hits a few shots it feels like he's done literally nothing.

    This. I don't get why everyone is on Pat's ass. He's hustling his ass off out there. Chill out folks.

    It's why I never get excited when he does anything - it's because I know at the end of the day - he didn't do anything.

    He's played better than Crabbe.

    Answer. No, despite his mistakes Nurkic is playing well. There is no good in Connaughtons game

    He has 7 rebounds and 7 assists in something like 5 minutes of playing time.

    Meyers is only playing like this because he's not at his true position obviously. He's a sg

    Pat Connaughton grabbed a game-high 7 rebounds in the first half. His career high is 8.

    We can't afford to lose Pat. We need every scrub we can find. He's showing he might be a servicable player. Besides, his chances of being a MLB player are dick. He's got to average a certain amount of innings at every level as a starter. It's hard enough coming right out of college. He MIGHT make it as far as double A as a reliever but he'd never adjust past that.
