Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: 5) Atlanta Hawks vs 3) Milwaukee Bucks

[bksballer89]

Obviously he's good, so is Harden. I know you love Harden but his bullshit style (and you know what I mean) is awful to watch. I did hear they are gonna make that stuff a foul on the shooter next year though.

I don't care about that as that wasn't my point. I posted about that part several times. I think to kind of say Trae not been good in the playoffs and is a choker or chuck (had no idea what that poster was trying to say) is a wild comment to make.

The Hawks aren't where they are now if Trae Young been bad in the playoffs

All they are saying is his shooting % isn't good especially on 3s. He's inefficient.

And my point is he never been efficient. If he's doing exactly what he did in the regular season then how does that make him a choker?

Devin Booker is shooting about 3% lower in the playoffs compared to his regular season. Is he a choker now too?

 

[bksballer89]

Trae Young career shooting % is 43.1% from the field and 34.3% from 3.

In the playoffs he is at 42.7% from the field and 32.6% from 3.

He's never been a very efficient player

I remember when Kobe was called a chucker....LOL.

Chucker, not choker. Like Kobe.

Me too. That's because he was a chucker.

 

[bksballer89]

Chucker, not choker. Like Kobe.

Would you call the following guys a chucker?

Durant
Luka
Mitchell
Jokic
Morant
Dame
Tatum

Mitchell maybe.

That's essentially the definition of a chucker, volume scorer, inefficient, chuck up lots of shots instead of working for the best shot.

 

[bksballer89]

Mitchell maybe.

Well 4 of them avg more shots per game in the post season than Young. The other 3 are at 22+ with Young but yeah Trae is a chuck lol

Efficiency matters too in that term. If you're 50/40/90 like Curry take all the shots you want, your shot is the best play usually.

Soo you don't think the best player on a team should attempt more shots in the playoffs to help their team win?

Trae the chuck Young avg fewer than 18 shots per game in the regular season.....didn't crack the top 20 but yeah he is a chuck

Meh. I guess he's a lesser volume inefficient shooter then. Call it whatever you want.

Lot of his points come at the line where he gets there with bullshit Harden moves. We'll see if the new rules affect his scoring.

 

[bksballer89]

You can be inefficient and not a chuck.

There are a lot of great players in the league that shoot under 45% from the field

 

[DJ]

Without looking....I bet all of them shoot a better %


The last 9 games Young is pretty bad.

We are talking playoffs.

 

[tlance]

So the Clippers aren't better than the Mavs even though they beat them?

The Clippers with Kawhi were my pick to win the title back in August.

Of course they were better. Top 3 or 4 team overall based on talent.

And Luka almost beat them.

You think the Clippers beat the Mavs without Kawhi?

No chance.

Suns

Not really. It's kind of the definition. It's not necessarily a bad thing. "Chucker" is basically slang for a volume scorer. Those are the guys that will start a game 1 for 8, then hit 7 or 8 of their next 10.
