Really, how many time this guy want's to lose the Ball? He and Nurkic are turnover machines. He lost the Ball like a idiot to Jackson! A ROOKIE !!! These turnovers gonna kill us against good teams. Every time he has the Ball in his hands you have to be afraid he's gonna lose it. Same for Nurkic. It sucks
Les just start a thread about every player after a bad game and completely eviscerate them. If only we could do that with posters and bad posts.... We won the game while playing bad. Tons of up side, "bright future" topics right now. Who the hell finds things to complain about? ...Other than people who live in dark black rooms and practice carving their wrists up?
2 things: Your vividness effect is strong. Re-calibrate. And, it must suck for those vets who have lost the ball to Swanigan already this year. A ROOKIE.
Here is one for you, based on your anologuy, Lebron should thenb not be in the league and should just retire because he is a bad layup artist. Can you beleive that ROOKIe Mason Plumlee blocked him? Weak Sauce. LBJ is weak Saucve! Oh and Mason is a future HOF. Portland would be foolish to not go after him ands keep him here for his career. Portland would be foolish to trade such a talent that could block LBJ, away. Kneejerk much????
Guess what @Labinot41 no matter how right or wrong you are, Even Turner is probably here for the duration. My advice is learn to live with it, or find yourself a cheap deal on Bulleit or Buffalo Trace.
As poorly as the OP's case was presented, can anyone honestly say they weren't dismayed at Turn[ov]er's careless ball handling last night? He played well overall, but man, some of those possessions would have been embarrassing for a backup JV point guard.
Compounded by keeping the ball at arm's length while spinning. It's like a DB's dream, with a QB floating a lazy pass in front of him.
No doubt ET had a bad game. But his turnovers can be fixed. The Jackson turnover was just carelessness, he took his the eye off the ball and the defender. Some of the other TOs were a result from his spin move....a move he needs to stop doing in traffic. Nurk is doing the same thing. If he just sticks with fundamentally sound passes, and stop forcing skip passes to players cutting to the basket, or trying a no look drop pass to Dame.....then he will be fine. Both players at times try to do too much. This game was the first time this year I thought ET fell into that category. But again those are easy to fix issues. The skill is there.
I agree, but I think they struggle with that for two different reasons. Turner needs to tighten up his dribble. With his role and propensity for the mid-range game, he's always going to be in traffic. Nurk's problem, IMO, is that he was a better player when he was heavier. Last year, he could get away with those moves because he had the mass to knock defenders off his back side and keep little guys from swiping at the ball.
It seems to me Nurk's TOs issues are unforced errors. His loss of weight wouldn't effect that. He is making lazy or too difficult passes.
