[Covert Rain]

Nurkic is playing?

He will likely be a coach's game time decision - DNP.

 

[Yuma]

It's more like Nurkic is AVAILABLE.

What does that mean? Waiting in the corner like the ugliest girl at the dance? Maybe he should talk to coach Bud and see what's up?

It means Nurkic could play if Bud decided to play him, but since they are not talking, we may never know.

That's what I mean. If Nurkic is upset that coach isn't talking to him, it goes both ways, he could reach out to coach Bud. Knock on the office door, and just say, hey coach, you got a minute?

It helps that I have a DeLorean.

Does it have coke in the trunk? (I mean Coca Cola, of course)

What if there is only silence?

My guess, or hope, is someone has tried to mend this relationship.

i told yall he was going nurk crowder - people were like nah birdgang - flu my ass - jae pouter

 

[BirdGangThing]

didn't bud visit nurk in nurk's home country before the season started? or am i high? sounds to me like bud had every intention to make it work with nurk - but nurk was hurting the team - no denying that

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns will continue to monitor Ryan Dunn, but there is no timetable for his return.

New Phoenix Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer made a global first impression on big Jusuf Nurkic when visiting him in Croatia this past summer.

“It was amazing,” Nurkic said. “I didn’t know Bud. I know playing against him, but I didn’t know him personally."

Suns wing Grayson Allen had already told Nurkic great things about Budenholzer because he played two seasons for him in Milwaukee. Budenholzer later explained to Nurkic on the visit his fit for this team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce O'Neale will start for the Suns with Dunn out.

Bradley Beal will still come off the bench.

It helps that I have a DeLorean.

Imagine being able to go back to the Jake Tsakalidis era whenever you wanted!

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Kawhi Leonard is playing for the Clippers tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

The ESPN box score is ahead of the game. I'm torn to watch both.

 

[Cheesebeef]

[BirdGangThing]

[BirdGangThing]

Richards still has one more year left on his deal?

it's what makes him so tradable - and me so nervous

 

[Mainstreet]

Richards still has one more year left on his deal?

Yes, for $5 million. He can be extended this summer.
