That's why I never say shit about Credit Karma. And now I am answering my own posts, SlyPokerDog style.
I guess with so many players (Turner, Ed, Pat, Aminu) pleasantly surprising, SOMEBODY has to be underperforming.
When you lose 35 pounds in a summer, you probably need to adjust your game. http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/i...suf_nurkic_eligible_for_contract_extensi.html Jusuf Nurkic lost 35 pounds, wants Portland Trail Blazers to be 'Bad Boys': Media day highlights
With his defense, even an average offensive Nurkic makes our team way better. No worries if in his contract year he is still learning to be great.
Why worried he need to tweak his jump hook he shoots it to flat but his other shot don't look bad there just not going in. But the turnover right now if was a coach is be my biggest concern but can be corrected. He try go to fast is one of his problems and he loose the handle ball. He just needs to slow down. His passing is good but sometime he try to make a difficult pass that usually lead to a turnover. This all can be corrected but the coach has to tell him how correct it. The pnr is his bread and butter they ran couple of them toward the end of the game that was successful so get him started by running pnr with him to try to get him kick starter tonight.
He hasn't looked great individually but the team looks much better with him on the floor because he draws so much attention on both ends. And don't forget how young he is.
Nurk did one really good thing against the Pacers...he didn't get a flagrant 2 foul when you know he wanted to vent.....he held back his anger at bad calls and played on.....better he had subpar numbers and can play against the Bucks than he gets suspended for a game. He's growing up.
Nurk needs to start going up strong. The quick soft touch shots aren't under control. Just gather and go up strong. You'll get fouled.
He's rushing on the block a bit. Seems to be going one move and up instead of going to a secondary move, like last year. Rifht now he's playing a bit like a more skilled Thomas Robinson down low. He may be overhyping himself for a new contract. He'll be fine
I think that's true. He seemed to have slowed up a bit in the 2nd half and it helped. He will settle down.
I wish we had Chris Kaman working with him. You can tell Nurk is mostly trying to figure it out on his own and hasn't developed enough nuance and variety in his post game.
Man I cringe when Nurk has the ball in the post in an iso situation. He’s really wild down there with his weird post moves..
