Nurkic is looking like a Gasol brother since the trade.


Most point to the Pelicans vs the Kings as the fleece of year. But I really think it's Blazers vs Nuggets. Big Nurk has been unbelievable.

Like its not even close this Nurkic vs Plumlee trade...Nurk is...

  1. The better defender
  2. The better rebounder
  3. Just as good a passer
  4. Has actual post moves and counters
  5. Just bigger and opens up so much more space for the guards
  6. Is younger and still on his rookie deal therefore buying more time for the front office
  7. Portland got a first round pick with him
  8. And now Blazers have gotten better and look like they are about the knock the nuggets out of the playoffs

I know Denver had a dearth in talent and Jokic is still superior... but if they get themselves knocked off by the very team they did so much for that trade is going to look even more lopsided.

The Warriors are using toilet paper with JaVale McGee's face on it

Prediction Steven Adams, Kanter,or Westbrook will get payback shot on Zaza tonight from last game.

Wanna bet? :mjpls:

Zaza is injured breh

EDIT: He's not injured, old thread threw me off. More chances of fukkery! :blessed:My money is on Kanter doing some goon shyt. He was the one taunting KD the most in previous games.

Denver gave up nurkic AND a first rounder for Plumlee

Yeah the players we have now are too good for that tanking shyt now and plus we got other teams like SAC and LA to tank for us :ehh:


Next year with at least one top 5 pick coming along with Embiid and Simmons I am almost counting on the playoffs provided with how some players on our team ( RoCo, Dario and Holmes) have improved. Luwawu is sneakily playing well also

Wonder what they do with Rodriguez and McConnell. Stauskas is aight off the bench too. Gerald Henderson gots to go :camby:

don't like this "rivalry" at all, mostly hot air coming from the Celtics

Only people trying to hype this up as a rivalry are the Wizards and their fans
I think it's clearly a rivalry. Both teams are solid tough teams fighting for seeding and both teams clearly dislike each other with some skirmishes having occurred.

What else needs to happen for this to be a rivalry? :dwillhuh:

Lol, The Fire says this is just hot air from the Celtics while you say it's just the Wizards and they fans pushing it.

Maybe if they played each other when it actually mattered?
