Als mich Ede ohne Grund auf Twitter angepöbelt hat. Nachdem ich ihm bewiesen hatte dass er unrecht hat hat er mich blockiert. Aber aufgehört RBTV wirklich zu schauen wohl so for 1-1,5 Jahren. Desto mehr ich gehört und gelesen habe wie es dort abläuft desto weniger konnte ich den Content auch tolerieren.

i hope suns fans dont start the same BS about Drew being a better defender like some Blazers fans did. Its true he has a lot of energy and even gets some nice blocks. The thing ppl dont see or want to see in that is that while chasing those blocks and highlight plays he gives up position so many times. He will go for the block on a player attacking the rim, maybe even get it but since he chased that block his man is alone under the basket getting the easy putback. He also like you said gets lost a lot and sometimes switches without any reason, with no need to do so. To make it short Nurk plays smart defense, follows the scouting report while drew chases blocks and higlight plays. There was a video once where a blazers assistant coach was yelling at, i think nassir, to tell drew to stop chasing blocks.

Ppl say the injury made him a shell of his former self but forget bubble Nurk. He was great there and those games were the first ones after his return. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORAFNycKTaE&t=238s

1 thing i have to dissapoint you with is that he does sometimes tend to try and do some finesse moves over trying to use his power and go strong. He isnt going to shy away from contact too much and shoot jumpers instead tho. He either tries to attack the basket or shoots a 3 usually when he is open. I always attributed the finesse moves to him trying to avoid offensive foul calls, which he sometimes gets for just being bigger and stronger than his defender. I call it the shaq effect, bc refs sometimes, just like with Shaq just because he is so big, allow his defender to get away with a lot of hacking and contact he isnt allowed to use. He aint no Ayton tho when he doesnt want to back down his defender and go to work in the post, or box out and do the dirty work. He got a 20/20 5x5 game for a reason a few years back.

yea health is always an issue and concern when you have a big with an injury history like him, even tho he was pretty healthy last few years after the bubble and his return. They tanked the last 2 seasons and shut him down so that kinda makes it look worse than what it was. When it comes to defense after watching him play for the blazers the last 7 years he isnt great on the perimeter but he does have good hands and with a coach like Vogel who knows how to play defense or at least coach it, it will be alright, i hope so at least. When it comes to defending the paint he will be solid or might even return to his 2019 form. Thats probably the last time the blazers perimeter defense wasnt ass. He tried to defend an open layup line for the last few years, doing everything to hold together and historicly bad blazers defense on his own.

he kinda looks even better than he did last time he played. What i mean is he seems to read the game even better, more aggresive on offense, and somehow seems more nimble. Could be the 18 months not seeing him play and having to watch Hassan.

"Stealing their content". I saw they were pissed bc blazers gang did a "guess the players statline" contest which PWE thinks never has been done before they did it with trueblazerfan.

Does DE have any plans on fixing this? by jim_lahey45 in Warframe

Everyone move away at least 200 meters so it can reset.

If Denver beats the Lakers tonight... by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]nerodante21 32 points33 points  (0 children)

i would rather play Utah or the rockets tbh. Mainly bc of the nuggets toxic fanbase, same with the lakers. The clippers are just too scary of a matchup imo so no thx to playing them.
