I dont understand how his 3pt (and honestly even mid range) has fell off so drastically. Guy was basically automatic on wide open 3s last year, and was like one unlucky in-and-out from winning the 3pt contest.
and not like hes getting unlucky bounces or anything, most of his missed 3s are wide by a considerable margin or just flat shots that boomerang off the back-rim.
this is more than just a slump, wtf happened 😢

they are leaving you open…that’s the whole point of the tweet and why it’s so alarming

These “open” looks are majority difficult step back threes. Its not like he’s getting catch and shoot set shot threes. Players are still guarding him on the line but he has to create an “open” look although not really the shot you want

Bro it doesn’t matter if his open if his taking fucking 30 foot threes every time it’s makes that shoot significantly more difficult especially this year.

He takes bad shots. Plain and simple. He makes amazing plays but takes too many baffling shots

Trae’s shot selection has always been ass but now it’s really catching up to him.

He’s just laughing at his own expense … why make a big deal out of it lol …

The response doesn’t make any sense lol. Maybe he read the tweet again and thats why he deleted it. because the original tweet clearly says they are leaving him open.

95% of Trae’s 3s last year were open or wide open. 15/16 is just the standard rate of basically all players. The closest defender stuff is based on where the feet are located, so open shots aren’t really open because NBA players are tall and can contest from further away than you and I.

His shot choices don’t make any sense sometimes. Not just talking selection but when he takes these shots based off the score of the game is so questionable at times. When we’re gaining momentum and getting stops and scoring baskets, he decides to shoot a logo 3 and completely halt the momentum for us. Makes me so mad when he does this. Involve your teammates and get a smart shot up and get within a couple points of the opponent instead of missing a logo 3 and then the opponent shoots a 3 and we’re down by 8 again. Happened a few times in the Bulls game.

Dude doesn’t care anymore but neither do I, whatever. Braves can’t come back any sooner

Sort of misleading, Trae is not being left open unguarded with good looks and just missing shots. That’s not what happening.
It’s not catch and shot 3’s. it’s separation created off dribble shots which is not the same thing…. He’s “open” because he created the separation.

I don’t he has recovered from being destroyed in the play-offs last season. He was demolished. I hope things come back together for him soon 😢
