I'm trying its just really hard since he cant play defense, can't shoot and turns the ball over. I'll give him a pass on the turnovers, but his defense likely never improves. Also the small fact that we traded a guy who might be having the best rookie season in league history for him. If we just had Luka instead of Trae we would be a playoff team this year.

I am very pleased with Kevin Huerter who as of late is playing better then Trae is and shooting 40 % from 3 for the year.

Be patient with him, my man.

Be patient.

Kemba Walker shot 36/30 3pt his rookie year.
John Wall went 40/30 his rookie year.


Rookie guards tend to struggle with shooting thier first year. Simply because they aren't used to the athletisicm of NBA defenders yet.



If he's still struggling by Year 3, then you panic.

It's official for Vic.

Ruptured quad tendon in his right knee. He will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the season.

According to Woj, a ruptured quad is fairly rare for basketball players. "Tony Parker and Charles Barkley had the injury. It is threatening to his explosiveness and althleticism. It's a challenging road back."

I was about to come here and ask how threatening it is because I’ve never heard of that injury in basketball. Fuuuuuck.

Thankfully fans don't get 100% of the vote or else Wade would be in.

Yes

Lets start the fake outrage snub posts on the internet platforms and throwing out all kinds of stats to justify it for a couple of days.

Its about time for another controversy isnt it?

Re: 1/22 - 1/28 Games Discussion Thread

It's crazy the kind of talent Wiggins has and he's not constantly pushing it see how much he could dominate.

Seems to play better without KAT on the floor but I don't know what the advanced stats say, he just seems to assert him self more in those situations.


Earlier people were joking he and Ingram are the same player but he is clearly more talented than Ingram.

When he's docile they do look alike

Except Wiggins is a far worse defender with no semblance of the play-making ability Ingram has. Wiggins is like one of those guys who you would associate with being a good scorer but not offer a whole lot else except he's not even a good scorer. Not sure what his deal is honestly, the talent is there.

I remember scouts telling us this guy could be a modern Scottie Pippen too, after the LeBron comparisons died down a bit.. Crazy to go from being compared to LeBron, then Pippen, than 5 years in seemingly look worse than you did in year 2 playing more like a Ricky Davis or something.

Re: 1/22 - 1/28 Games Discussion Thread

I dont know where it came from last night, but thats not even the point, he does have more talent than Ingram.

He's just not assertive randomly, especially when you know he needs to be.

Everyone else's motivation is not his, and he doesn't give 10 craps about pleasing people's wants either.

That team is in flux though, they go long stretches where its like, what are yall doing man, what is the offense.

Im not sure him and KAT will ever win a playoff series with the way they are.
