He was top 3 in the regular season in on/off impact.....AND was top 3 for the team in the playoffs. No idea what you are talking about here.

His on/off impact is skewed because his backup is literally the worst defensive big in the league. He fouled out two games in the series because he's playing with concrete shoes when he gets isolated on the perimeter.    The Blazers offense in the front court was so horrendous all year long that they traded for Powell and made him an undersized forward.

The dude is definitely foul prone, one of his greatest weaknesses....

....BUT the Blazers were 17.3 pts better DEFENSIVELY when he played and 14.5 pts better OFFENSIVELY when he played in this playoff series. 

Basically when Nurkic played POR kicked DEN's butt...when Nurkic sat DEN DEMOLISHED POR.

[Kammrath]

His on/off impact is skewed

It's not skewed because POR kicked DEN's butt everytime he was on the court. That's the whole point. His backup may be bad, but POR was BETTER than DEN when Nurkic played. Period, end of story.

Watching the Lakers get ready to go fishing, I was just thinking the Mavs have the longest current win streak at Staples Center.

[ClutchDirk]

Caruso now out...

[ItsGoTime]

Can we play our home games next series in the Staples Center?

The Lakers dumpster fire is overshadowing that CP3 still doesn't look right at all either, and probably won't be for the rest of the playoffs.   In fact, he's looking a little worse as the series goes along.  The West is ripe for a dark horse Champion this year.

Morris twin flagrant, typical.

Suns not playing like they want to send LA to vacation yet...

Let´s try a Caruso and THT sign and trade + Gasol.

It's remarkable you'd want Caruso Gasol and THT

THT has barely played all playoffs, even while the Lakers were searching for anything. Caruso has been MIA too.

Gasol looks to be on his last legs. 

Wouldn't touch anything the Lakers have at all.

Yeah, for me the jury is still out on THT, but I for sure don't want Caruso. Gasol has always been vastly underrated, imo, but I agree he's done.

[SleepingHero]

Holy shit Lebrons effort level. 

Disgusting. Turns the ball over getting ripped. then gets blocked and refuses to get back on defense???

[SwisherPrice]

The Wes Matthews Curse continues. Whatever team he's on just won't win anything

I mean THT is a fine prospect. Good for a 4-5 mil contract imo. Just based on all the games I've seen. Some desperate team like SAC is going to throw a max at him though. 

Caruso I like but I'd take a lot of other guards before him

Gasol I don't mind for the vet min but he doesn't really fit here anyways and like you said he's on his last legs.

Did you see him blow a wide open layup at the end there? Dude has been done for the last 4 years.

He was stalking the ref.  Hard to deal with reality of being done.

[SleepingHero]

Lebron walks off the court not giving any daps at the end of the game like a sore loser.


I am so freaking happy Lebron lost. Good riddance.
