Yeah, I can see it if you make it very subtle. Everyone calls him Nurk so I always think of the "k" as being attached to the "Nur."Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 1:38 pmYep, I'm going with the Suns pronunciation:JeremyG wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 1:05 pmHaha thanks, I was surprised to see very few results when I searched for it.

Jusuf Nurkić (you-SUF nur-KITCH)
I think Jusuf is how most of us say it already. The emphasis on the second syllable is quite subtle. They're almost equal in emphasis.

Someone like Allen, Gordon, Yuta, etc. will go for 20+ tonight and all of those "analysts" will treat it like a once in a month event.
Nah MFers, that's gonna happen nearly every night.

I don't understand how some people question the Suns' depth but then talk up the Celtics and how they're coming out of the east. They have one reliable NBA player on their bench and if any of their starters misses time, they're dropping fast in the standings.

It's 7:50am. I'm trying to figure out the most efficient plan to watch the second half while eating lunch.

Yea... Thought it was late there for some reason.

It’s frustrating when basketball analysts don’t follow the teams and don’t know what they’re talking about but say it anyway.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Talking about Chris Paul, I just watched Kenny say it’s easier to play faster when you get older.
Man, has he not watched Paul much or what?

So that means Okogie was the 5th starter before the Beal injury

Did you see him running in the sand?! He’s got crazy legs. Wobbling in and out. Not the direction they are supposed to move.

I thought we knew that. I’ve also heard Vogel say it might be situational during the season.

I think we assumed it, but I don’t think it was ever stated. We tried a few different guys in that spot in preseason…and Grayson got the nod the last time the big 3 all played

Nurk’s looking good. 5pts and a blk, getting to the line.
