He definitely does.  He's not a PG.   

I prefer him over any of the other back up point guards

Trae . . shut your mouth man.

Refs called a Tech on him.

There's already some friction there with him and the refs. There's no reason to draw more negative attention to himself. Lay off the refs.

Weird ass shot by trae...it felt like he didn't have enough time..to me it looked like maybe 2 extra seconds for a better look.

Since Nash mouthed off, he's not been getting ANY continuation calls, he needs to understand that and move on and leave the refs alone.

Looking at his average FT attempts since that blew up in the media, it's obvious something is going on. He went from ~15 attempts to ~9 attempts right after that Brooklyn game. I have no issue with them not calling blatant "foul baiting", but I can't get behind them going out of their way to not call obvious fouls or continuations when he makes the shot. No other star has issues getting those calls. But Trae needs to do his part by not arguing with the refs and getting on their bad side.

Collins 0-7, Reddish 1-6, Huerter 0-5, Gallo 0-7  (Cam spoiled the cool  0-fer effort, lol)

Now we are down 25 points.

1 - 25 how is this even possible.  

What a difference from the last game..............

Collins 2-4, Reddish 2-6, Huerter 4-6, Gallo 2-4 

1 0 - 20 = 50% shooting.   Last game it was 4%

He needed to try to get to the rim, instead of trying to draw a foul in that situation.  He's not getting that foul there, unless it was blatant.

Maybe we caught Jokic on an off night.

Exactly. Go for the score or get fouled trying in that situation. He needs to change the narrative on how he gets his FT attempts ASAP because it's a 'thing' now. The key to foul baiting is to use it sparingly. You're effectively 'tricking' the refs and selling contact. Once you get a rep for doing it constantly, it loses it's effectiveness. Now he's not getting calls that are legit fouls. It's time to adjust.

Bad shot/Good shot Trae! LOL!  But he earned it.  He has been playing very well the last 3 games

[Cwell]

Kevin gives up more wide open jumpers than i've ever seen smh

[Peoriabird]

Joker doing his Gallo impersonation! LOL!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Great pass Trae.

Playing outstanding basketball tonight.

[NBASupes]

I noticed teams with terrible perimeter defense are food against us

He's going to destroy Denver if they don't start trapping him. 

[hawkzlova123]

DUDE WE ARE SMACKING THE NUGGEST.

WHATS GOTTEN INTO US? 

WHY IS THIS TEAM SO BIPOPLAR LIKE ATLANTA WEATHER. I THINK WE SHOULD BE NAMED ATLANTA Bi-POLAR BEARS 

HUERTER MADE A REVERSE LAY-UP.

Boston also plays this weird thing called defense. Denver is pretty bad at that concept.

Pretty Trae
