Nurkic is terrible in the playoffs

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

This dude never shows up. He got nothing for Dwight down low. Throwing up dumb ass hook shots and shit

[scuzzy]

wild wild west

[NBAGOAT]

he's good but banging down low is just not his game and ad cooks him. also a pretty awful finisher.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Soft as shit and no defense. He's a poor man's Enes. At least Enes ain't that damn soft inside.

[Gray GOAT]

Putting money on a big game from Nurkic in game 4 as we speak.

[tpols]

I remember nurkic from a couple years ago and he seemed to have a "tough guy" reputation, constantly getting into scuffles and playing physically. What I'm seeing from him nowadays is a soft euro type, he's getting bounced around everywhere and cant guard a lawn chair. Also remember the bran stan mafia including him as part of a Big 3 haha... hilarious.

cj shouldnt really be part of a big 2 either. has a good rep because of his series vs denver last year but he's not some great playoff performer. basically hasnt gotten better in 6 years and is behind multiple 3rd guys when it comes to best non all star. Name a worse 2nd option for a star on a playoff team

Nobody said anything about a big 3.

it's a BIG FOUR.

Dame / CJ / Nurk /Wh***side = most formidable big 4 in recent history

The Blazers are stacked and can easily still win this series. Don't be foolish.

eh... CJ is a legit all star talent. He's been outplaying plenty of 2nd options in this run. I'm taking him easily over LeVert, Ross, Fournier, Warren (or oladipo), middleton, lowry, tobias harris or horford, Gallo or SGA. Also over Eric Gordon or Westbrook as well. The only 2nd options on playoff teams that are equal or better to him are Lebron, PG13 (who hes been outplaying), Zingis, and Kemba. He's easily a top tier 2nd option, the rest of the team sucks outside Dame and CJ plus this series is basically rigged given the absurd FT disparity so they have no shot either way.

yea disagree heavily though i should've said 2nd guy not 2nd option my mistake. middleton even with stinkers is better most likely, i take gallo this year and sga might be better. westbrook and lowry for sure are better. I even consider murray since he's ok defensively this year. donovan and bam are clearly better than cj. neither are 2nd options but they're the 2nd best players on their teams but even if you switch it to gobert he's better but tbf dragic isnt.. Half the guys you listed are all stars themselves while cj isnt no he's not an all star talent.

that means 8-11 playoff teams have better 2nd guys. if ind, bkn, and phi were healthy it could be 14. Yes i take brogdon over him if sabonis was healthy and he's actually a borderline all star talent and putting up 24/11 on 60ts% right now. Possibly dinwiddie too(assume kyries healthy but not kd). dinwiddie's 20.5/7 on 54ts% cj's 22/4.5 on 54ts%

:roll: :roll: :roll:


You overrate the shit out of flashy players.

[insidehoops]

A partial factor: Injuries to the Nuggets backcourt has made it easier for the defense to focus on Jokic.

CJ is absolutely an all star and only not due to limited selections.

He's one of the best mid range shooters ever. Insanely crafty, and gets hot like few else + is clutch.

Not sure what you're talking about here.
