    That's the thing tho. They aren't playing their game. Blazers force other teams to pass on threes-- Toronto not doing that at all because the defense just isn't there like usual. Not fighting hard enough over picks, and giving up open looks from the corners. Just not normal Stotts defense.

    Um... that would be roughly what Evan Turner is producing.

    I liked your post, not because I liked the stats, but because you highlighted just how badly most of our team is playing.

    They aren't blind, they simply see what they want to see.

    There are high schoolers who shoot better than Turner.

    I thought they were about to call back-to-back fouls on nurk there.

    I am not obsessed by the personal statistic of generic player nor Nurkic, i will delete all Nurkic' s points tonight but Blazers to win. Unfortunately it is not possibile and if they lose, i will take a little fact as positive - Nurk is our second best player tonight. Not important when you lose, but for German member who called him stupid after just 5 min ccc of the game - glad to get him wrong with these strong words.

    Can we glue Turner to the bench?

    Except if he was around the same efficiency, he'd be much better. He's not a ball stopper. He is a better passer and defender. He's a better ball handler.

    Idk why were discussing this hypothetical. Tyreke is good. Much, much, much better than Evan Turnover.
