Now it’s found out that Billups lawyer was never contacted in the proprietorial investigation and the SJW hounds are hungry to see if there ever was one at all.haie said:
You don't have to max him out, but don't pay him like the 3rd best player and then never use him to his strengths. He does need to improve but it's not like passing centers like that are easy to find.Kaepsknee said:
Other than having the weakest hands, slowest foot speed and worst endurance of any Center in the league, Nurks great. Max him out.haie said:I get that Portland fucked up the roster and that is the biggest issue, but I'm not sure that Lillard's game isn't partly to blame.
He is an elite player, but his game doesn't seem to elevate others around him. I can't explain it fully, but there's a huge difference watching him and guys like Steph and Luka. Those guys probably get everyone else involved a lot more and get the dedication needed on defense. Additionally defenses in the playoffs know most of the time he's just going slash or stop and jack up a half court 3. It's kind of weird that he just expected to beat that Denver team that still had three all star caliber players to Portland's two (although I think Nurk is a star just too moody/injury prone).
The best game I've ever seen out of this Portland roster was 3 or so seasons ago when they beat the Warriors at Oracle during their historic season, a regular season game but in the last month or so when teams are ramping up for the playoffs. And the offense went through Nurk, he abused their center in the paint and passed the ball as well as every big in the league except Jokic, and then shots opened up for Dame and he was more of a complimentary piece. But Stotts won't run the team like that with 2 max guards, and I doubt Billups will either.
Otherwise you're always just going to be a team that hopes your two guards don't get cold during a series, which one of them did this year and that was the difference.
Shit organizations do shit things.

If the Blazers ignore it, it will go away. Nobody will care in a week. Most already don’t. None of the sjw’s will care when a new story comes out.Kaepsknee said:

^ eh oh el
Hope for all small market franchises everywhere!!!!
No, really it is. Unless you have a bad GM. Then you're the Sacremento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, or the Portland Trailblazers.
At least we aren't the New York Knicks. -
