I was hoping this comment wouldn't come back and bite him in the ass but I kinda knew it would.
Yeah you can't be as inefficient, terrible on defense, sloppy with the ball, take as many bad shots in important moments as he does and be saying dumb shyt like this

This is the consequence of having 80-game regular season + playoffs format. Every game is not equally important.

People really need to stop bringing this up. It's been 82 games for like 50 years. That shyt ain't changing unless the players take less money.

What does how long it’s been there have to do with what I said?

It’s a consequence regardless.

If someone says damn it’s cold during winter and someone answers yes it’s physics. Do you step in to say “people need to stop saying that it’s physics, it’s been physics since Big Bang”

So you either adapt or die. You only want to get up for the games that matter or piss and moan about there being 82 games, then prepare to be a loser because as consequential as it may seem, it ain't changing.

They have adapted, he’s just explaining the facts. This is not only true for the players, the fans interest too. Some people don’t even check in until after the SB.

That’s why the MVP title should be extended to include the playoffs imo. Probably why they added the play in thing too

You can if you lie that the intensity is the issue and not your glaringly deficient issues:mjlol:
Yup, Trae is cool but he ain't guy you can win a ring with as the number 1 option.

He's an inefficient as a scorer, especially in crunch time, and even though his overall offensive game is still a net positive, it's not transcendent enough to make up for his bad defense

But every game is equally important when you half ass it and lose against easy-win opponents early on, and are out of the playoffs or get an unfavorable seed because of 1-3 games.

Not if your end game is to win. It’s hard to estimate but imagine that you get 1st seed with a tired and half-injured team vs a “8th seed” with a team in perfect condition, and both teams are virtually equal in terms of quality.

That’s why everyone is trying to do the least to get to the playoffs. Because at the end of the day, nobody remembers true first seed or any seed. Back in the days it was usually the best team, but nowadays it’s not.

I disagree with alot of this, but I think its a fair take

I honestly think his optimum role would be as a 6th man. He's just too limited to play big minutes IMO, but as a 6th man he could be a destructive force that doesnt take as much off the table as he does playing 35 mins a night
