Trae is a midget diva that can’t play within an offense and is a net negative on defense and Cam Reddish is barely a rotation player on the Knicks

It’s over :mjcry:
What fukking offense do we run? As if he saying fukk that and taking the reigns :dahell:

The whole problem is we don't run an offense for today's NBA.

We take the most midrange shots in the league. Y'all want Trae running off screens? Fire NATE

My issue with it is what offense cam Trae fit in? It’s always been some pick and roll or iso type of thing. When he doesn’t have the ball in his hands, he’s useless out there bc he stands around instead of moving and cutting. It’s been like that for two coaches and probably will be like that for another one and there’s one common denominator in the situation. I highly doubt he works on his offball game.

That's on Nate. Dude has had his hands on the ball his entire life. He shouldn't be expected to have the instincts to do it himself. Call some damn plays. Steph didn't just magically decide to start running off screens that his big man took upon himself to decide to set. Those were plays that were specifically drawn up by the coach. I can't be mad at Trae for standing around waiting for something to happen when Nate doesn't call a play because that's what the other 4 guys on the court are doing 85% of the time.

Off the court, Trae gotta quit the diva shyt. But on the court, I blame our struggles almost totally on Nate and our lack of offensive scheme.

That’s fair he could be making the offense run more efficiently and less dependent on Trae’s shotmaking ability. I thought having Dejounte would help but it really hasn’t changed much. I can see how Nate plays a part in it bc he’s been complacent and enabling the ball dominance.

Dejounte isn't helping as much as he should because nothing actually updated when we got him. He's being used as the starting 2/secondary ball handler exactly like Kevin was. Only difference is he gets 6-7 more of Trae's "everybody stand around and watch me work" ISOs per game. Nate has gotten a little better at actually using him as the backup PG like he should be, but not enough has changed schematically to utilize him most effectively.

That Luka trade is going to hunt us. I mean yea Trae is good, course not better than luka but that cam pick was a fail and he had the nerve to ask for a trade big L.

I'm tired of the "we weren't aggressive tonight" shyt Nate says after every loss.

Aggressiveness ain't the reason we don't have cutters. We run a basic horn action when we don't run the PnR.

He wants us to attack the paint, when he trots out a lineup of capela, Jalen Johnson, and Culver in the 4th. No shooting, no spacing.

Like how can we watch that and not see the big issue. Our players aren't put in positions to succeed.

Trae has been asking for more motion offense for the last 2 yrs. He worked on his off ball game this summer. Recruited a good PG to play with him. He isn't against the idea, we just don't got the coach to implement something like that

Both Trae and Luka got the same issue. nikkas just pound the air out the ball while everyone sit around and watch.
