    UNTraeDABLE

    He just needs to fix his shot. If he can get back to his career averages I'll be quiet. If he was shooting career average we'd probably be 8-4 or better right now.

    Agreed. You gotta think most all the young stars on rookie contracts plus most of the players in the top 25. Guys super old like LeBron I wouldn't trade him for. It kills me to say it b/c Trae is my favorite player, and i want nothing more than for us to be successful with him but if he can't fix his shot it's never going to work. The more I think about DJ at the point with another 2-way type 2 guard makes us a much bigger lineup, much better defensively and rebounding. Think about someone like Jalen Brown and DJM as the starting backcourt. We will lose some passing for sure though. Not that I think we'd be willing to pay for that contract but the fit would be incredible.

    Lol Hunter gets another rebound ripped out of his hands Trae still cant shoot at all.

    Don't know why Bogi isn't in the game. He's been our best player tonight.

    You must just be getting here. I've been going at Trae all game

    OMFG Hunter has never once come up with a loose rebound if someone else gets their hands on it. Leads to a Brunson 3. You have to be kidding me.

    We are playing great defense. Just struggling keeping Robinson off the glass.

    Trae close this MF out and I'll stop talking trash. We need your NYK swag back

    He can't shoot anymore. He's my favorite player in the world but his shot has been broken for over a full season. His size never seemed to be an issue, but now it's just like he seems so small out there. Anytime he shoots I cringe.

    Hunter just never secures loose rebounds. Re-watch that 2nd Capela missed FT, Hunter had that rebound and they just took it from him. He has to be stronger with it.

    I like this version of Trae. Get everyone involved, use your passing skills. He just had a few assists in a row where I was totally expecting him to jack up a brick and he made the extra pass, leading to an open shot.
  12. AtLaS
    Trae just isnt the same player he used to be.
  13. AtLaS
    Trae needs to start making shots or stop shooting. His shot has been broken for over a full season now. Until that corrects he needs to dial it back and focus on getting others involved.
  14. AtLaS
    Adding to that, our best player and top scorer is shooting 32% FG and 25% from three, and we are STILL a top 5 offense so far this year. That's how gifted a playmaker Trae is. Focus on that. The shots will start to fall eventually.

    This is the future Trae if we want to have true, consistent postseason success, IMO. Play more like his favorite player Steve Nash. We don't need 30 ppg and him shooting 25 times per game. He's so gifted as a passer. If he is focused on getting others involved he raises the floor of everyone around him, and they are going to feed off that. I don't want him running pure heliocentric, Luka/Harden style offense. Remember those Suns teams? Every year they were adding new guys to the rotation and they just fit right in b/c Nash was such a great facilitator. And he was a pass first guy so everyone felt involved on offense. It raises morale. I've played on teams with a ballhog and it's demotivating on offense. You feel as you never get the ball so when you do you want to jack up a shot. But the team isn't cohesive. Right now we are. Trae's shot attempts are the lowest in 3 years, his turnovers are the lowest in his career and steals are highest in his career. His shot just isn't falling, yet. When he gets back to career average shooting #'s this team is going to be truly dangerous.

    Down 20 and Poole throwing cute lobs, on the road? I'd be pissed if I was a teammate/coach/fan.

    Can Bally just go ahead and go bankrupt. Lol I thought that was announced a few months back.
  18. AtLaS
    He's so much better than Collins (post injured finger) it's crazy. His overall impact is huge. Better defensively, better passer, better ballhandler. Addition by subtraction.
  19. AtLaS
    100%. He's not good enough to lead a team deep in the playoffs, nor is he a great leader in general. But if he's 2nd/3rd option he would be great. Can you imagine swapping KAT for Capela at the 5? The lane would be wide open for Trae/DJ/JJ slashes. If they collapse then kick to him for open 3's. People crap on the guys that haven't won anything. But the reality is noone has won anything UNTIL they win something. No superstar in their prime who has championship pedigree is going to be available in trade, and if they are we'd have to sell the farm to get them.

    Just watch Capela the first 2 minutes of the below video. I think Capela is way out of shape. Misses one of the easiest bunny dunks ever, and almost misses a 2nd. Just watch him the whole first 2 minutes, he is just laboring around the court. This is in the first quarter too. This version of Capela is a liability.
  21. AtLaS
    Trae played really well IMO, his shot is just still broken. Its early in the season though, he just needs a big game hitting from deep. Keep leading the team with his playmaking it will come around.

    I like how Murray was like screw this pretty hair Im shaving it back and about go off
  23. AtLaS
    Ehh, not sure taking more threes leads to more fouls. But you are correct it stretches the D and can open up the lanes a bit more. There is one big downside though. Missing threes often leads to fast breaks/quick buckets on the other end before you can get fully back on D. I would love to see defensive stats after a made bucket, vs after a missed bucket. The more threes you take, the more shots you will miss overall. When the opposing team has to take the ball out of the net, everyone is back on D and fully setup ready to defend. Not the case when you brick a long 3
