Trae pulls up twice from 28 feet with no passes, Nique says they’re “tough” shots.  An opponent did that he’d call his mama out her name.

Not tough...BAD shots!

Too early to criticize Pierce's poor player rotation?

Yes because this season he is being placed with a line up build to not win

[lethalweapon3]

Who knew Kennesaw State would be just a couple more OTs away from outscoring us? lol

So nobody can hit anything.

Bembry the poor man’s André Robeson.  Teams best defender (+1.2) and most laughable offensive player (-4.4).  He find ways to f&@k up the O.

I personally thought he'd struggle kind of like this until February.  He needs to learn how to pick and choose when to shoot.  His driving to the basket is actually the best part of his offensive game right now.   But he needs to stop trying to be Steph Curry, and be more like Steve Nash.

The scary thing is that he's shooting just like Lonzo Ball shot last year.  But he's a much more willing driver than Lonzo was.

This crazy pace that we play at, doesn't help Trae's game either.

I seem to remember someone mentioning that the pace they will play at is by design, and what their goal for that pace actually was.  I also remember saying that Trae's poor shot selection would be promoted and not inhibited for the team to achieve its goal this year.

I personally don't care what players do on social media.   Trae's shot selection has been horrible in the past few games. In the beginning of the season, he had a much better feel of when to drive to the basket or shoot the three.  Lately, he's just chucking.  He needs to start shooting some midrange shots to get his rhythm and then start shooting spot up threes.

Coach Pierce has benched Trae SEVERAL times on this road trip for poor shot selection.  So try again.
