  1. I'm calling BS on that. No one is giving #10 for Clint. That's complete whale dung.
  2. Coaches are so reluctant to deviate from their rotations. It must be due to locker room politics more so than strategy.
  3. Unfortunately you can't sell a low information public on analytical data. All they see is PPG and APG.
  4. This is a brutal loss, no doubt about it.
  5. We aren't suggesting he be traded. Just take fewer shots and better shots.
  6. Trae's slump could be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps it will lead to him taking less shots and finally embracing a more egalitarian offense. We are already seeing signs of that.
  7. Come on man, that was a different era. Poor shooting was more accepted back then. That would not fly today. Just like in baseball, teams still bought into outdated conventional wisdom and didn't have an analytical understanding of the game. Trae does impact the game with his passing, and that's where his focus needs to be. His FGA needs to come down.
  8. Is it too much to ask of our superstar not to dig himself an insurmountable statistical hole? Those 4-16 nights are brutal.
  9. We gave him the ultimate green light, the "superstar" status. And now there is no easy way to reel him back in. Quin is probably going to try to do it gradually. But if not, some difficult conversations will have to be had.
  10. It's always a system or a coach that's supposedly holding him back. Maybe he's just not a good shooter.
  11. "How dare you question our superstar. What kind of fan are you?" An objective one.
  12. Well, in this instance, you were wrong. Can't win 'em all man.
  13. And you said literally no one, and I literally showed you someone in this very thread.
  14. Literally someone responded to my comment in this very thread. Go see for yourself.
  15. Plenty of people do. There is a sizeable portion of the fan base who thinks Trae going nuclear should be our strategy.
  16. Team basketball folks. Contrary to popular opinion, it actually works.
  17. It's basically just a rebranding of the regular reason.
  18. That's why threads are shorter after a win. There's nothing to argue about.
  19. Eh marketability is overrated. The thing that makes you marketable is being good at basketball. I'm pretty sure MJ marketable mainly because he was really good. They said Luka wouldn't be marketable, too European. Turns out they were wrong. Remember all the hype about Lonzo is Lakeland? Yea he was unceremoniously traded before his rookie contract was over. If Flagg is a star it will be because he's really good. It's he just average the hype train will quickly fizzle out.
