Think about how awful Trae Young has to be to make this team 2-10 when he plays

Settling for 26' 3 pt defended shot from Shead isn't good analytics.

In 2026 it’s comical to suggest we use the post up more. Unless you’re Jokic, or Kawhi, or Pascal, it just isn’t a good move for your offence to utilize a lot of post ups

lol just an insane suggestion when we already have optimized his role this season and seen some good results from doing so

Thats because Scottie has been working in tbe mid range/post a lot more this season. Having him in the post isnt all about his scoring, its also to get open looks for others. Scottie is the best playmaker on our team.

If he catches at the elbow facing the basket, don't think anyone is complaining, it's the post ups that are punting possessions.

What the heck, NAW playing like an all-star and the other guys can’t miss from 3.

Jalen gets paint touches and kicks out. Players hit a higher percentage on those vs connecting passes that Scottie does.

Sure.

Doesn’t change that running an offence through an inefficient post scoring is a bad decision.

When he has a good matchup attack it, but you can’t force it

Well obviously, Scottie has no bag. Theres a reason why we're gonna end up being a 6 to 9th seed. Its because we dont have sufficient alternatives.

Yeah its a zone, but still

You really calling out the guy who subbed in for less than a minute that qt?

Waiting for Darko to use the super small lineup to give the Hawks the lead

maybe Dick should just bulk up and try to replicate RJ's game
