Limited him to 48, u called it Pandafriend
Yeah pretty crazy how good defenders like Holiday and Tucker both got toasted by Trae but that’s what great players do. I’ll take my crow with that one.

The lesson here is that one we should have learned already - OFFENSE >>> DEFENSE it today's NBA.
You need the high end offensive talent on your team, then you plan the X's and O's to make the defense respectable.
We seem to be going the other way - getting limited offensive guys and trying to game plan every scored bucket.
It won't work. We desperately need pure scoring talent.
The NBA is planning on implementing a rule change this summer that would limit non-basketball moves used to draw fouls, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. The rule change would take effect in the beginning of next season but could be integrated as early as August for the Las Vegas Summer League.
These are the actions officials will be trained to look out for and can be ruled an offensive foul going forward, according to The Athletic:
• When a shooter launches or leans into a defender at an abnormal angle.
• When a shooter kicks his leg (up or to the side) at an abnormal angle.
• When an offensive player abruptly veers off his path (sideways or backward) into a defender.
If the contact is "marginal" then there will be a no-call but if "more than marginal" then an offensive foul will be assessed.

Some changes may be coming to help defenders by taking away some of the legal(but BS) players that offensive players have been utilizing... which includes some of Butler's tactics. I would expect this will drastically change the efficiency numbers for scoring, instead of getting no FGA and FTs players will either get a TO or a FGA and whatever points that shot gets/doesn't get.The NBA is planning on implementing a rule change this summer that would limit non-basketball moves used to draw fouls, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
