N: Jusuf Nurkic had 18 points 12 rebounds 6 assists and 5 blocks in last night's win over the Thunder

V: I think I'm getting over losing Mason Plumlee a lot faster than expected

LOL at "losing" Plumlee.

He seemed like a cool and nice dude who the players liked. I don't see why it's a bummer to see players you like get traded

Jusuf is cool and I'm sure he'll regress at some point but it has been fun watching him ball in Portland.

I don't know if there were that many questions about his conditioning before but I'm impressed at how well he's handled a huge jump in minutes. It helps that Portland's schedule has been sparse lately.

People have been saying he was out of shape coming in, and he looked completely gassed towards the end when Andre Roberson kinda threw him to the floor last night. Sounds like he wasn't playing much in Denver, but yeah the all star break plus sparse schedule should help him get up to speed quick. He sounds motivated.

He played like, 38 minutes last night (because Meyers Leonard is basically unplayable lately) so it's sorta understandable he was gassed.

Also gently caress Meyers Leonard

The experiment is over, right? They have to be shopping him around this summer. He showed progress when he was working with Karan but has just gotten worse since then.

It's gonna be crazy when the Mexico City Thunder beat the Virginia Beach Raptors in the 2026 NBA finals

I moved to Portland from Virginia Beach before it would have happened, but I would have been thrilled if the Kings had ended up moving there. That area deserves a pro team.

Closest I've come to crying over a movie was when R2-D2 wakes up and C-3PO says "I missed, you old friend" I teared up on initial and subsequent viewings.

Reading about Wesley Matthews coming to terms with his Achilles rupture not being a bad dream when he woke up the next morning kinda messed me up.

I just want to chime in and laugh at the lack of awareness that's required to suggest that a Portland fan root for the team LMA ran off to.

Livid at the notion.

I also watched the Kings sometimes for Cousins, but now keep an eye out for the Pelicans games between Cousins, Frazier, and Davis.

What was happening in Denver? I remember hearing that he asked to be taken out of the starting lineup at one point. Was it just a combination of Jokic overlap and chemistry issues?

If the Warriors don't' have Durant until round 2, I'd rather have the Thunder or Grizzlies than Blazers/Nuggets because variable 3-point shooting offense scares me more than paint-the-pack match-ups

My god, Nurkic is gonna lead the way to the second round which sets off a chain reaction that leads to the next big west coast quake, reducing Moda Center, Oracle Arena, and the Staple Center to dust.

The craziest thing about the Plumlee trade to me is that for some reason Nurkic and Noah Vonleh have great chemistry and Nurkic has basically resuscitated Vonleh's career prospects.

Vonleh playing way better and Leonard hardly coming off the bench are the two best byproducts of the Nurkic trade.

those dudes are all white. White people who want respect are Don Corleone, but if you're black, its called thuggery. This is the unfairness of racism, and is quite common in rich old white people, who would be the ones making this decision and doing the pear clutching.

Lillard CJ Nurkic are all good and young. 3 first round picks this year, which might help dump Turner or Leonard if needed. If Aminu/Harkless can get some consistency and Vonleh develops a little more, I think that things can be okay.

I hate Draymond "fat yell" Green but him hitting Harden's limb after Harden pinched his belly is maybe the only non-Blazer thing that I enjoy now that Embiid's out. It is hilarious and fair and should not be controversial at all.

As for it being a targeted attack, don't pinch a man's belly with your bad wrist's hand if you don't want it swatted at.
