Trae is having a rough one. 0-5 for three, 7 TO and 2 AST.
That’s what chuckers do.
Ended up with 8 TO’s at the half.
Funny, Trae gets all the media attention and praise for scoring 48 on 34 shots despite the Hawks having to win despite him the final 5 minutes but when they’re down 30 at the half tonight the announcing team didn’t focus on the 8 turnovers and 0-6 with the same tenacity. Go figure.
That’s one of many things I so dislike about the NBA today. The invention of stars and the overhyping of them.
Young had a good game on the whole in GM1, but was 4-13 from 3 and struggled the last half of Q4.
During the stretch where ATL got down 7 late, Young was 1-5 from the floor which included 3 shots from beyond 28 feet that he missed. And he was super fortunate to get bailed out on some highly questionable touch fouls.
If De’Aaron Fox got calls like that he’d average over 30 a game too.
Honestly, I think Trae Young could be a much more efficient player if he wasn’t trying to be Steph Curry and was more selective on his 3’s. He doesn’t shoot a good enough percentage to keep chucking so many 3’s from so deep.
