    I tend to think whitesides been good, not good as good as Nurk but he isnt the “problem”.

    Hope your sons rehab goes well, sorry to hear he’s having to rehab again, that sucks...

    He was Born on 1994. War on Bosnia was 1992-95. I don't think he's got snowflake mentality. He wll be fine.

    I don’t know that it would be rushing him back. My thoughts were aligned with how player that have injuries of this nature are slow to regain their previous form. With that in mind and as important as nurk is too what Portland does that I wouldn’t want to see him back until he is 101%

    iversoninjury.jpg I had to post the Iverson injury chart for this question. I saw a pic of Nurk running up the stairs in Moda. The coaching staff holds the answer.

    No need to bring him back imo. Do the tanking Job, lose as many games as possible and let him play when the Season is almost oder so he can get the feeling back. Next year is when we need him

    if he's lightly practicing in a shoot-around, then, going by recent history, he may be 10-days or so from getting cleared to play

    I sure hope the Blazers are not desperate enough to rush him back to salvage the season. But what happened with the Hood injury and Dame playing 79 minutes the last 2 games has me a bit worried

    Jusuf seems like the kind of guy who probably believes he can save the season...
    He can't.
    2021 big fella.

    Love the loser mentality some of you possess. I hope you don't have that mindset in your personal lives.

    I don't know if Nurkic can "save" this season or not, but if he's ready and they believe he's good to play. I think he needs to play. Help him overcome any mental blocks, get back into game shape, if there are any confidence issues let him work them out now. You never want to rush a player back from an injury, but if he's ready he should get out there.

    Why so aggressive just because someone has a different opinion? This season is basicly over, the ceiling is a First Round Exit, probably a sweep based on how bad the Blazers have played against good Teams. Is that what you wann? 4 more meaningless games where we get crushed on national TV? I'd rather Tank and pick in the top 10

    It's not a matter of opinions, it's a matter of what sports and competition is all about and tanking should never be a part of sports. That's why it's called a losers mentality.

    Talk about "different opinions"...

    With the season less than half over, the trade deadline still looming, Nurk's return impending, and Collins' return still possible, it seems just a tad premature to make such declarative statements on the season's ceiling.
