Yeah as soon as JC checks back in..

[Diesel]

I'm hating some of Trae's shot selections.   I hope he calms down when he comes back.   The Holidaze and their defense is great.  I like what I'm seeing from JC.   He needs the ball more.   Haven't seen any 1-5 PNR???  Hunter is playing really good!

@TheNorthCydeRises, try to contain yourself tonight.  Don’t need you having a heart attack every time Bruno scores, folk.

I'm actually at work and can't see this game.  I knew Bruno was going to come to play tonight, but he bet not beat us.

The last thing we need is for him going for 13 pts - 11 rebs - 4 blks.

At this stage in his career, if he can't improve his shot selection then I don't have that much hope

I guess we will have to settle with the best player in Franchise history. I'm fine with that.

[Diesel]

Yeah Baby!!!!

DJM with Intensity...  Fast Break Baby!

If you can't see how bad his shot selection is in this game then I can't help you

 

But keep goin, with the immature snarky comments

I hope Murray gets in Trae's ear and tells him that he doesn't have to chuck 3s all the damn time

 

I mean for goodness sakes Trae looks like Baron Davis with the low IQ shot selection

Marking this post for when Trae ends up over 50% FG at the end of the game.

[MaceCase]

Trae QBing this thing.

[terrell]

Trae playmaking is on point..

Abandon the long 3's for a while though..

The pass, the finish, the run over to help up, all excellent.

Not too many worse plays you can make than blowing a dunk.

If he does, it'll be becuz he plays differently in the 2nd half than the 1st lol

When he takes 3s in rhythm he's fine but he has been taking out of rhythm 3s u get it

And despite the bad shooting, he's +11 for the game with 6 dimes.

They got JC looking Like Karl Malone out here!!!

No.  It'll be because he'll start making all of those long 3s that everyone hates.

That's who Trae is.  The long 3 is like his power booster.
