    I get it. But people complaining about weight, everyone here always complaining about something even when it should be a positive, me never contributing anything of serious value…. I guess I just expected better.

    Was today's game just an exhibition/scrimage because everything I'm reading says that Eurobasket doesn't start until the first of September?

    It was Fiba World Cup game. So not euro basket but still a legit tournament I believe. I know Jokic beat Giannis team the other night too

    Hope he starts the season the same way he started that game, cause that’s a soft ass shooters touch right there. That 3 was pure!

    So is Nurk not playing right now against Hungary? Or is he playing like garbo?

    I don’t see his name as a leader in any of the box score categories, but can’t find a complete box score.

    Okay I see he is playing now. Perhaps it hasn’t been his best game, but Bosnia is winning.

    It is on ESPN+, but I don’t have a subscription.

    I’ve followed the live score here (how bout those jams)


    Nurk 14 points 3 rebounds 2 assists going into the 4th.

    Bosnia came alive to end the 3rd quarter.

    Looks like the FIBA website is the best place to get the box score.

    I think I’ll buy a month of ESPN+ for $9.99 just to watch Eurobasket.

    Gross… I guess I can watch Soccer matches on it as well.

    With everybody playing for their country, it would be ridiculous if Nurk didn’t play. I hope Bosnia does well.

    Let’s go Nurk!!!!

    1.) Buy it on the ESPN App on phone
    2.) Find the option in settings that says “link subscription to account”
    3.) Sign into your email account on fire stick/smart TV/Xfinity device
    4.) Cancel subscription

    The move I liked is at the 24-second mark of that video. I realize the defender is not NBA quality, but it was so quick and smooth I think he gets that against anyone. He has always had that mini hook shot but it looks like it is improving.

    Nurk still seems soft IMO. Got to admit there is less complaining in these games though. That is positive.

    If he can improve his back to the basket and overpower guys with buckets that will really open up the floor.
