Reload the save file from before the Celtics game. Or maybe change the title to "THT has been exposed" and hope for counter jinx?

Re: It's Official, Talen Horton-Tucker is Good
He was terrible against the Celtics. He was supposed to be a good defender? He was brutal on that end, could`t guard anybody...
Offense is one thing, you have good and bad shooting days but defense is something you can bring even on a bad day.

I knew his streak would end with James coming back.
He will have a good game again when James or Westbrook will miss a game.

So it was James' fault that Tucker missed multiple layups and other shots?
James was on the floor for all his FGA?

Definitely on his way to being the GOAT, despite his 0 points on 0-8 shooting he pulled Steph Curry like gravity in leading the Lakers to a loss and a team high -18.

Re: It's Official, Talen Horton-Tucker is Good
Like I said in my post on here a week ago. A 3 game sample isn't big enough to believe a guy who has always been a bad shooter has all of a sudden become a legit 3pt shooter on high volume. He had a 2 game stretch where he went 7-15 from 3. His other 4 games on the season, 1-10 from 3.
A 30% 3pt shooter in college and a 28% 3pt shooter from 3 in the NBA in his first 2 seasons. You need a much bigger sample size than just 2 games to believe his jumper is all of a sudden a huge weapon. And guess what, when you take away the threat of his 3pt shot, he becomes very very easy to defend and the rest of his offense falls apart.

This is like the opposite of the Curry exposed thread.

Lol this thread is going to age well. At least wait longer than a 3 game sample size before creating a thread. This guy will get roasted and he asked for it

Re: It's Official, Talen Horton-Tucker is Good
It's OK, OP. Some Might Say THT is going through a tough streak but Don't Look Back in Anger. If THT is your Wonderwall, you can rest easy knowing that by the end, he'll get his Champagne Supernova.

Re: It's Official, Talen Horton-Tucker is Good
I dont see how this guy fits with Westbrook and LeBron.
He needs the ball to perform, with those two hes basically a spot up shooter, but he isnt a good shooter.
Another poorly fit piece of this team.

Re: It's Official, Talen Horton-Tucker is Good
And this is why I said to chill on the overhype... Need a larger sample size of games (which is also why you can't entirely wrote him off yet).

Re: It's Official, Talen Horton-Tucker is Good
I do think that THT *will be* very good, and that the Lakers made a very good investment. I don't think that "he's arrived" yet.
