Has Jusuf Nurkic Already Negotiated a New Contract?
That phrase needs some sort of alternate meaning in the Blazer fan lexicon.
"I paid $275 to pre-order Nickleback tickets only to find out it didn’t sell out and you could get them on Stubhub for $8. I got caught in a real Evan Turner sweepstakes."
Again, and Nurk saves him. Worse game for Evan Turner this year by far, and about average if you compare him to last year. Hopefully this is just Brad Stevens out coaching Stotts and knowing Evans scouting report to the T, cause otherwise a return to last year for Evan is a disaster for the 2nd unit long term.

Stotts played either Dame or CJ at all times last year. Evan Turner gives us the option to rest both or if they got into foul trouble or (god forbid) hurt.

I would argue that Evan Turner hasn’t been very good in the playoffs, but maybe putting a bigger body on Millsap would make him work harder. Millsap is 6’9" I think. Evan is 6’7". Aminu is longer but Millsap isn’t highly athletic. Doesn’t really jump. Turner would be able to take the hits that Millsap does to create space. As far as Jokic, leave Zac Collins on him when hes on top of the key. Jokic plays as a distributor that far up the key. Hes looking for the pass first and then he’ll look for his shot. Only double team him when he decides to back Collins in. But by that time he is closer to the basket and not at the top of the key trying to distribute the ball.
