Yea, players miss shots, it's not even good hating, just lazy hating since it's just something that happens. Even far superior players to him miss bunnies.
If Zu was shooting 44% as a C indicating he's missing a lot of easy ones (eg: Ben Wallace with his terrible hands, missed dunks, no touch, etc who made it up with elite defense), then sure, we could complain about his finishing, but he's a 57% shooter who shoots 60% at the rim (career 69%), so I think he's okay.
It's just us fans being fans with lazy takes, NBD.

Yea, remember as the roll man, just before this game, Harden was giving him the ball 16-17 feet out while he was moving fast and he'd have to make quick decisions, it was a turnover fest.
Yea, no surprise on those stats, and that's also why last season he was much better and in line with the rest of his career, because there was better chemistry.
It was much better last night though, and it should normalize as the seasons goes if he isn't getting the ball in areas that don't work for his skillset.
