Did y'all hear that reporter on TNT?

Trae: "But I feel that now is the time I can speak on guys I want to play with"?

Anyone have this interview?

Yup! I heard it! Trae said he talks to Schlenk everyday….so I definitely believe @Sothron when he said Traes been talking to Ben.

also Trae said in that interview he knows he’s going to be judged by winning at the end of his career and that’s what he cares about the most. Winning games…

that should say something to those that claim he’s looking for his stats and not concerned about winning.

He's wide open, so he was right to take them.   Matter of fact, all of them were wide open 3s.

But you know what?   

Trae's fault . . . because he should wait until a man gets on them, before he throws them the ball.

We need one wing player that likes getting to the rim.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

This is the lack of awareness I'm talking about.

How did Lou think it was a good idea to give away a foul, knowing that the foul would put them in the bonus?

 

Play defense.  Stop being lazy.

Can someone explain our offense to me? 

[GameTime]

OO is talented.

[aali34]

When Giannis sits he knows he got a running mate that can carry the load

Vanilla PnR/Iso offense. Nate hasn't changed it in decades.

This team is built so bad around Trae....I cant blame him for wanting new teammates..

I love the way the bucks stagger their rotations. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them where at least 1 of Gianni’s and Middleton aren’t on the court. 
 

Unfortunately we don’t have that luxury of a true second option.

Yup! And if holiday was playing he’s got two …it makes a huge ass difference 

[thecampster]

Watching this game may not have been the best idea. I was already in a foul mood before watching.

 Nate and his rotations. He took Hunter out who was  keeping Middleton in check. If Middleton gets hot, it is hard to.stop him. tLC isn't bothering him on defense.

Nate is disappointing me to say the least.

Exactly!

We don’t even have a true 2nd playmaker. I’d take either! True 2nd scorer or playmaker

If he cared about winning, why would he have so many bad games?  Why wouldn't he involve his teammates, instead of alienating.  If we keep Trae, he will ensure that it will become Trae and the dozen bums, who don't mind taking the criticism for Trae's shortcomings.

[terrell]

I know I like to harp on Trae, but good lord his teammates are bad.. I'm actually feeling sorry for him right now..

He's playing with a bunch of softies...

He needs toughness around him.. This is on you Travis.....

Like Ive said, keep Trae, Hunter, and OO and find the best deals you can for everyone else.....

That JC contract is looking like an albatross imo.......

Well we had one. But even he would fall in love with his jumpshot.  Plus, he didn't want to be here.

Are you watching these games???…Trae defers just like tonight and these fools out here missing all their open shots.
