Game Thread 2022-23 Game #70 - BLAZERS VS CELTICS - MARCH 17, 2023 - FRIDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

I don't think Nurk is terrible, but he certainly is underachieving IMO. He got paid, so he shouldn't be crying about that. He gets touches, but has not improved at the finishing end. His FT making has gone south. I just don't get it. He still is the best screen setter on the team, and it's not close. But he's not just letting himself down, but his buddy Dame, and his team. He MUST do better next year. I don't think he's tradable because i doubt the Blazers would get anything back of substance. Nurk needs to man up, look in the mirror, and get back to playing the way he's capable of. More like the guy who gives it his all for his native country's team.

I didn't really buy it when some people started suggesting it a while back, but I am beginning to think that Nurk's game has been seriously eroded by the long-term impact of injuries

Showing up lighter and in shape in the fall would be a good first step.
