It was simply destroyed by injuries! Is the situation of the Nuggets forward general really unhappy?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G2, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who suffered a final victory in G1, outscored the Denver Nuggets with a advantage of 149 to 106. After this game, the Thunder also tied the total score of this round of series to 1-1, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

In this game, the Nuggets' starting lineman Michael Porter Jr.'s performance was still at a terrible level. Porter Jr. played 25 minutes and 11 seconds in the game, made 2 of 10 shots, 2 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 8 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal. He also made 3 fouls, and the plus and negative value was also low to -25. Porter Jr.'s performance on the offensive end is still quite bad, his scoring ability is still not performed, his outside shooting feel is still a mess, and he also made substantial contributions completely on the offensive end. Not only that, Porter Jr.'s performance on the defensive end is also very bad, and his contribution on the defensive end is not able to reach the ideal level. Obviously, Porter Jr.'s condition and performance were indeed too poor due to injury. The team's coaching staff was not very satisfied with his performance and his role on the court, which is also an important factor in his very limited playing time.

In the NBA regular season this season, Porter Jr. made a total of 77 appearances in 82 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 39.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.8%. So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 30.9 minutes in his first eight games, with averaging 9.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and a turnover and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage is 39.2%, three-point shooting percentage is 37.8%, and free throw shooting percentage is 70%.

Potter Jr.'s performance in the playoffs is completely different from that in the regular season. His offensive efficiency continues to decline, and his scoring ability is also seriously insufficient. Porter Jr.'s shoulder injury has a great impact on his form. Even some relatively simple shots seem to be a little difficult for him at this stage. Porter Jr.'s defensive end is not optimistic, and injuries have also limited his role on the defensive end. In this round of G1 series, although the Thunder won the victory, Porter Jr.'s performance was also terrible. He made 1 of 8 shots and 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line during the 24-minute and 0 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, and scored only 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, and the plus and negative value was also low to -15. In 3 of 18 in two games, with Porter Jr.'s performance, the Nuggets should really consider reducing his playing time and even preventing him from appearing in the rotation lineup.
