I hope Trae stays cold bc that dude can heat up quick. Frans on the other hand is an all star and he's showing why, well there's always next year.

I assure you that scoring a lot doesn't equal injury lol. His defense may slip a bit if he wants to focus on offense a lot though.


Agreed. Its like those ymca/weekend-weeknights amateur games.

During defense your team huffs and puffs back and looks like they just ran a 42k marathon. Yet when they have the ball and scores, they sprint like they wanna givr Usain Bolt a run for his money. Lol

Controversial take: that’s in Paolo’s head more than any injury or lack of conditioning. Franz has returned from the same injury in the same form as before he went down.


I dunno man.. like those being outjumped or missed dunks.. in your mind you can easily do it like hundreds of times before.. yet your body betryaed you when you do it..

Its really your body for me


That’s there, but the mental pressure of trying to re-establish himself as top dog whilst struggling and Franz is flourishing is definitely gonna be in his head.

Or maybe I’m wrong and he’s grateful Franz is crushing it while he’s getting back to form? Like Franz said, they’re at their best when Paolo is at his best.

You would think Paolo would be thanking his luvky stars that Franz play is eclipsing his sucky play and we are still fighting for the POs.

Otherwise fans might turn on his lackluster play.

Can someone tell me why Trae Young been playing so poorly?

I'm not watching but you'd think he'd be aggressive with No Jalen Johnson & Cole Anthony on him?

He's a 40% shooter who turns it over a lot. It's just a normal game.

Followed up by good rotation on his defense causing Trae to travel.
