    Let's face it, the ONLY way the Blazers can even have a snowball's chance in hell of beating the Warriors is with a healthy, beasting Nurkic. We all saw the video of him taking pain-free warmup shots before the Minnesota game, but will he be ready to go next weekend? What percentage will be be if he is? Is there time to re-integrate him back into the flow of the offense/defense?

    Does he get 64K if he plays or do I get 64K if I am correct? :)

    I don't want the team to jeopardize his health by playing him, but I am very curious to know how competitive we would be against the Warriors with him playing well. And I want to see Nurk just give Draymond some of his own medicine, purely for my own entertainment.

    Nurkic played on the injury against Houston and did fine, I can't imagine the injury would be hampering him.

    Ditto. If Draymond tries to punch Nurk's nutsack I think Nurk will be very angry.

    Not to mention the fact that Green would probably injure his hand in the process.

    That'd be like if you went out into the woods, found a bear, and then punched/kicked it in the nuts

    You'd just hear a resonating ding, then Green would be out for the playoffs with a broken hand. Then Nurk would probably get suspended

    Punching the Bosnian Bear in the nuts is like...punching a bear in the nuts?

    Your simile deserves an F. I expect better.

    YES YES and another YES! I'm afraid he might do something that would get him suspended into next season though...or maybe he is smart and would let his pops take care of Draymond off the court!

    If Draymond is thinking of kicking Nurk in the balls like he did Adams, it will be the last thing he does.

    You know what Nurks dad wouldn't wait in the locker room or hallway, he'd come straight down to the court and take green out

    Green would try to hide behind the refs, or his teammates/ coaches and they'd all be like fuck you man. Security would quit

    My white sauces are telling me that Nurkic will not be back for the playoffs.
