    I can't wait until Nurkic teabags Jokic in their matchup. Sick of hearing about Jokic every time Nurkic is mentioned. We didn't trade you Jokic. We traded you a Plumlee brother. Eat shit.

    Man, I loved watching Nurk move Whiteside around in the post. Post move @ 2:50 gave me a little chubby:



    Also think Nurkic' quick hands are really underrated. What he lacks in leaping ability is made up for in timing on blocks and steals.

    Nurk should be a senior in college right now. Crazy.

    I also love that Nurkic' shooting form doesn't make me cringe. He will get better at the line and mid-range, but at least we don't have to worry about any Hack-a-Nurk strategies right out of the gate.

    He's pretty great now but when he's 27 he'll be amazing... I hope we can keep him!

    That's exactly what I keep thinking about. I'm thrilled with the eyeball test currently, so many things seem natural and instinctive with him. No awkward movement running or jumping and the hands are great.

    Some time and seasoning is all he needs to become elite.

    His hands are so underrated. He's got elite hands defensively. I also like how he defends with his chest instead of with his forearms which would just lead to a lot of easy foul calls cough Meyers cough.

    Yet, Nurks defense and productivity for us (as a starter) has really helped us. Funny, they probably already it. BUT THANK YOU, DENVER!

    (And yes, I do get that he was unhappy there, etc. etc., but I couldn't help but find it a little funny)

    Nurkic is the real game changer, he's literally changed the whole team. it's a joke they're even pretending like Plumlee has made any comparable impact.

    Man, imagine if the player we draft with the pick they gave us turns into a good player as well...

    Yea, i actually thought they both come from the same place, but when i heard Bosnian and Serbian i said "Ohhhhhhh, why the hell did they put both on the same team?"
