Trae had a good game , I'd rather him be 22 and 12 and us win by 20.  

Quin magic lasted 4 games 

We need longer players 

We got to pick up defence

It's always a system or a coach that's supposedly holding him back. Maybe he's just not a good shooter. 

Hence the part where I said or it won't happen at all.  If he can't get to league a erage as a shooter then yes, probably will have to make a change 

It's going to take awhile or won't happen at all, he's playing an entirely different way than he has and it is just taking his shot away at this point, he even reverts back to his old way to try and jump start it , won't come until he is super comfortable running this offence.

Is this new scheme this easy to break down. 

Way overmatched 

No idea okc is this a good a team, how tf have they lost this year.  

They also aren't missing anything 

They know everything we are doing and our def is horrible 

I see okc knows our little quin scheme here

They said sga was out for this game

Those Utah teams weren't exactly stacked in hindsight.  It's looking like getting Snyder is huge for us and a big win for Landry and Kyle.  

Also, Utah did win playoff series where they were the underdog.  They just didn't get to the finals.  

Looking ahead will winning unlock and attract talent?  Not to bring up something that triggers people, but I believe it would also excite Ressler towards spending as much as it takes once we have interested talent.  

Fairly certain that's why aj is being sat, keep him super safe before trade inevitable trade with bucks for Middleton,  - sources

I'm not against the current philosophy.  Just don't lie and say that the team didn't win or was ineffective when Trae scored a ton of points. All of those points were necessary in past years, just to keep us afloat.

With us running a heavy pick and roll system, Trae was going to have the ball in his hands a ton. And he was masterful at it.

If the new system leads to more wins, while Trae shoots and scores less, that is not a problem for me.

 

Just don't lie and act like when he scored a bunch of points, it was bad for the team.  It absolutely was not.  It led to wins.

Lie? Seems awfully like you are looking to be the victim of some internet tragedy. Way out of context man, nobody is attacking Trae or that he was a bad person for scoring, or trying to lie to the message board folk and fool them into thinking a certain way.  It's harder to win in the playoffs that way we have seen it numerous times now, it's not an indightment on Trae in anyway, it's about basketball. But since you signaled that you were confused by my post with your emoji and don't understand FTS given the location of our latest game it begs many more questions we simply don't have time for.

Oh, and FTS

What is wrong with you guys?  Don't you watch the games?

 

 

 

It's the philosophy we are talking about, not what happens when he scores that much but if you want to go back to that no problem , everyone else won't be doing shit

There's a reason for that.

 

 

The facts are that we didn't have a consistent enough group that could score, to have Trae take less shots and not score a ton of points to win a game.

Trae only took 15 shots tonight, and we scored 123 points as a team.  That does not happen in past years.

That's great and never works in the playoffs , just like some other players we talk about

People don't want to hear it but Trae this year is way better than last year just off the fact that he's running the offense. The two games he didn't, we lost. 

This isn't even anything anyone can argue about if they know basic stuff about basketball

Who I like and who I don't like isn't as simple as good player vs bad.

I'm more into players living up to their contract/draft slot.

JJ - Greatly exceeding contract, good/great for draft slot.

Trae - Living up to draft but underperforming contract right now. If you get alpha contract, you need to give alpha production.

Hunter - IMHO didn't earn the contract he got, he's close to living up to it now. He has some bad habits he's breaking and I'm withholding judgement right now.

DJ - exceeding contract.

CC - underperforming which is why I give him crap.  He's fine, but he's not living up to his hype/contract.

BB - underperforms contract/hype

Bey - better than expected

OO - exceeds contract, a bit below draft expectations (due to be undersized). He just has some limitations that he makes up with when giving great effort.

Bruno - If he could just stop moving on screens I'd like him a lot more.

AJ - Jury is out but he's not a contract liability. I get the feeling he'll figure things out and be a huge win.

 

I don't hate any of them. I love JJ, at times love Trae. at times love DJ. There are times that CC makes me shake my head in disgust but its not hate. I love OO's heart but I know his limitations. BB gives me the biggest emotional swings.  DH is the player I want to root for more than any, I really do.  I just think he's a great athlete playing basketball, but doesn't have that killer in him.  I hope he proves me wrong.  If there's anyone on the team I don't like, its Meth Bogi.  Garrison Matthews just rubs me wrong.

 

u dont like the white guys, we got it

Get you licks in.  Them boys look like ass no question.  Gabe Vincent was infinitely more important to them than any other team he could go to.  Kyle Lowry is stuck to the skillet he’s so well done and thinking they could get something outta Thomas Bryant and Josh Richardson was quite ridiculous.  You know how I feel about The Unnecessary Herro.  Still got faith in Jimmy, Bam, and Spo to right the ship but them muthaf&@kas best get to paddling.

Bucks got the worst rated defense in the league so I’m taking solace in that.

Yea and the celtics got even better, Ill call that a net negative, they are stacked af

Were also shooting 85.2% at the line, which is number 1 in the league, that is something as well .

We are also number 1 in the league in FT%
