Let's see him be more consistent first. Give it time and Trae will reach the level we know he can. Shooting like Curry and surpassing the best ever 3-point shooter is a reach.atlantabbq99 wrote:Great passing by Trae, but when are we going to see Curry level shooting from TY?
ATL Boy wrote:Trae Young had arguably his best game of the season, it's between this and the Cavs explosion. 15 assists, and he was getting to the hole and finishing well. 5 turnovers is ugly on the stat sheet, but two of those were palming violations, which are infractions by the letter of the law, but that's something that's just never called. 9/19 shooting is nice, 2/8 shooting from 3 is less nice, but two of those 3s at the very end were him just trying to put the dagger in with deep bombs. The stat looks worse than it was.
Kevin Huerter looks like a player. He had a slow preseason and a slow start to the reg season but that's understandable after offseason wrist surgery on his shooting hand. These two look like they can be a scary backcourt in the future, but in order to start together they'll need to grow into at least average defenders.
Taurean Prince had a bounceback game but man it really irked me when Trae was at the line ready to shoot a technical foul FT, and Prince went over there and just took the ball from him. Then he proceeded to miss the shot. I get that Trae is a rookie, but that seemed very selfish on Prince's part.

Bob Rathbun said that Coach Pierce told Prince to take the freethrow. Speculated that CLP knew Prince is struggling with his confidence and wanted him to take it.

That's understandable, if it was by order of the coach. Didn't hear Rathbun's call on it.
Check better be in the mail, Ryan Cameron. You know you stole that from me!

On the plus side, haven't heard from the Heat-fan BIL in a while. Could it be 'cause he assured me Young would be a bust? Could it be 'cause he knows his team has doubled-down on mediocrity and have become the new old Hawks in the Eastern Conference?
Eh, either way.
On the minus side, I heard a "Trae-TL!" call from the PA announcer.

What, you no like 'secret admirer' mode?
Agree the Heat are playing Slippery Stairs right now. Finna go down.
If you don't know what Slippery Stairs is, google it if you need some sheer joy in your life.

It's a common tactic for ball players, helps the psyche watching the ball go through the net when they are struggling. That and I suppose he's a considered a more senior player on this current team but vets always vulture points from younger players, with or without coaching input.
