If he recovers i hope we find a way to resign him next season. He's got a lot of potential as a mobile center.

ive really liked IQ, but some plays he forces it way too much. i think hes still got that bench player/microwave scorer mentality at times. he needs to calm it down a bit and not try and do everything himself. there certainly were a few FVV ill advised quick pull up 3s tonight for sure.

If he shoots them at a high clip, then I'd say let him. Those types of shots are what make Trae so lethal. Defenders need to chase him to the top of the key because he's unpredictable and unafraid to hit those shots. It just creates so many options when the defenders have to meet you at the high key and your fast enough to break down your defender with a quick first step. He's getting the reps now to put his bag of tools together. I'm excited for the kid

Moving Siakam and his looming free agency settles down everyone. No one has off season agendas. Now they just need to play and focus on each other.

ye, to be clear i dont have a problem with the 3s knowing hes a good 3 point shooter, just feels like hes rushing it a bit too much. no biggie though.

Considering how much is on the table for him, he's been a good pro.

Nice bounce back win

Scottie’s turn now I guess, less commercials and more gym runs plz

It’s funny we watched Pascal struggle and then finally figure out how to be #1 option and he was crushed for it through it all and now we do it again with Scottie lol

Fr i dont know why people think his floater is trash. When he was on the knicks he was basically automatic with his floaters. Once he gets his rhythm back hes gonna be much better

You could see he was rushing it tonight. Once Yak is back, and they get in the PnR, those floaters going to be BBQ chicken.
