    Bump! Nurkic didn't play when the game was on the line in the 4th... again! I know most will say it was just because Ed was having a good game although it's not like Nurkic was having a shit game. If Nurkic is truly one of you big core guys he needs to be playing in big time minutes.

    A 9 game win streak is not the time to bitch and complain.

    23 year olds who get double doubles in 20 minutes get resigned.

    You said he needs to play big time minutes. That shit does not matter. We're a team. We do what it takes to win. Sometimes, Nurk finishes the game, sometimes he doesn't. Nurk is our third best player. Ed is our best player off the bench. Sometimes, he finishes games. Sometimes, Nurk does.

    I agree that he would be a long term project both in physical traits and for NBA mentality. His competition is not on par with the NBA. Zach has done well and his entry with Ed off the bench has paid dividends. Nurk has been consistent overall and this team needs one more consistent scoring/rebounding SF who could muster energy similar to the great Jerome Kersey.

    Like i said in the game thread: Ed isout hustling him, every Time Ed is on the court he brings energy and is fighting for the ball, Nurkic doesn't do that cause he is a euro flopper. I like Ed 1000 Time more than Nurkic, Nurkic better step up his Game, because Ed right now is better than him

    This shouldn't turn into an Ed vs. Nurk debate. They both played well against GSW and we need them both. They are both very important to this team's success.

    Agree. And in this very game, Nurk forced a jump ball through determination and will 2 times. Ed and Nurk both worked their ass off in this win.

    I'm sorry man, but you're crazy. Ed brings energy in the second-unit, but he's not better player than Nurk, not even close.

    Nurk had 11 reb in 20 minutes, Davis had 15 reb in 26 minutes. And we know who is better on offensive end. Davis is great guy coming off the bench, that's it. Love the guy, but Nurk is future.
