    Welcome to 2019 NBA Playoff version of the over/under forum game. The winner at the end of postseason will receive Blazer swag courtesy of @SlyPokerDog and your Portland Trail Blazers!



    The Trail Blazers held Denver to 20.7% from 3 on 6 of 29 shooting. In game 1 Denver shot 41.4% on 12/29 shooting. (the shot exactly 29 threes each game...interesting) That averages out to 31%.

    Question: Will the Nuggets shoot over/under or exactly 31% from three in game 3?

    Nikola Jokic is extremly overrated
    [​IMG]
    He's an amazing passer and playmaker, no doubt about that but that's pretty much the only thing he's good at.

    In a playoff series he'll get exposed by every decent guard who will switch on him. He's so unathletic and slow that he'll get destroyed not only on the perimeter but in the paint as well.

    He's not a particularly good shooter except from the free throw line.

    Even Jusuf Nurkic (who is as good as Jokic if not better imo due to being a better defender) has a higher TS% (58%) than Jokic (57.5%) and Nurkic isn't renowned as an elite offensive player (he's good but not more than that). Their PER is pretty much the same - Nurkic 24.6 and Jokic 25. Jokic's TS% the last 2 seasons has been 60% + so kudos to him for that but you just can't ignore the many holes in his game. Btw, Jokic earns twice what Nurkic earns which is ridiculous.

    So, we've established:


      1. Jokic is overrated
    • 2. Nurkic is better

    • 3. I'm not salty
