    But id like to see Nurk and Whiteside out there together just because you don’t know unless you try and if it doesn’t work out then Stotts just doesn’t keep with it

    If Nurcules and Zman make it back soon as the Zer's make the playoffs and advance, well, you'd have to give Neil Olshey Exec of the Year considerations, wouldn't ya?
    Hell yes!

    so....it may be that right about now Blazer management isn't happy with Nurkic for saying he's back on a target date 9 days away when all kinds of things can go wrong between now and then...?

    Stotts says March 15 is the new "target date". The tweet was Nurkic saying he will return on the 15th. Maybe there was some difference of opinion on what "target date" means. I mean, remember when the target date was sometime in Feb ?

    If the blazers lose and no one is around to see it, do they still miss the playoffs?

    Leaving room for the possibility of another setback would be my guess.

    I agree start him slow, but im not so sure about playing them together. Maybe in the 90’s but neither of them can cover outside shooters and we would be lit up with opponents 3pt shooting.
    It used to be, you live and die by the three but in todays game Lot more teams live by it than die by it.

    According to reports, the Bosnian Beast is almost back.

    Chris Haynes at Yahoo! Sports posted an interview with Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkić, who has not played since breaking his left left in a double overtime victory versus the Brooklyn Nets on March 25, 2019, in which the 7-0 center says he will make his return in the March 15 game versus the Houston Rockets at the Moda Center...

    Nurkic returned to practice on Jan. 23, and he’s been itching to rejoin his teammates in game action.

    “I worked my ass off to be in position to get back on the court and help my team, but game speed is going to be different,” Nurkic told Yahoo Sports. “I’m not going to be playing 40 minutes. But for me, mentally, I need to get these reps in before I can play [extended minutes]. Physically, I’m good. I had a calf strain recently, which is normal for the injury I had. I’ve been pleased with where my rehab is going. I never doubted I’d be back, but I had to make sure I was 100 percent. I can’t wait for [March 15].”

    Last season, Nurkic averaged career highs in points (15.6), rebounds (10.4) and field goal percentage (50.8). He played a vital role in helping the franchise advance to the conference finals for the first time in 19 years.

    [...]

    “It’s been a lot of ups and downs, but I’ve been there before. There were struggles and fun times, but mainly during my rehab I was focused on how I could get back to normal. How I can get the reps in to make sure I’m preparing myself properly. It’s been a crazy year with so many emotions, but I’m glad it’s finally time
