Sir Render with his patented defense lol

Trae is getting those Curry fouls by getting men on his back

Trae can look like this rough and we are still in the game. Dedmon.

Look at his FTs.  He's still scoring, and is technically still efficient.

LOL . . another foul drawn by Trae.  

I don't understand what the criteria is for that not being a shooting foul. Foul occurs when he is shooting... what am I missing?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

17 points on 8 shots, is outstanding efficiency.

7 in 48 games is not good. Of course with his usage expecting 1-2 turnovers from him is probably not very realistic. Still 3-4 should be the goal. 

Dont believe I said it was good. But to your point, he's had 4 or fewer 21 times on 48 games. Need better than that. But as others have noted, his usage is so high that it's almost inevitable.

Jones almost has finished a engineering degree but he does not know what keeping your body and arms straight up means,

Man, we are on a foul streak!

They're saying that the defender is bumping him before he's going into his shooting motion.  But if he's jumping, and you know he routinely takes 30 footers off the dribble, it should count as a shooting foul.

Its time for Damian Jones to leave this game.

Basketball IQ doesn't equal real life IQ. See Gerald Henderson from Duke or JaVale McGee

This is a major problem I have with Young... That long 3 isn’t working tonight, but he keeps taking it.

The total TO number isn't what we should be looking at anyway. It's his assist/turnover. It HAS to get over 2.00.

It is. I'm just leery of relying on the refs to call it down the stretch with the game on the line.

The long three sets up so much of his game. I agree he shouldn't just chuck, but I also understand his insistence in trying to establish it.

But he should understand vertical, horizontal, and leaning at a angle

[Bonkers]

Sir render really does not understand rotation defense at all smh

 

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LP . . . stop telling those guys to switch.  Make Trae fight through the screens, while covering for him at the same time.

[Bonkers]

STOP SHOOTING THE BALL TRAE

 

IT IS NOT YOUR NIGHT!!!
