I have no commentary on how Trey did tonight (I only watched the last 10 minutes).

I was simply pointing out that a +/- stat is not good evidence to support your claim that he played well.

I watched the whole game. He really did play well. My only knock would be that he had a bit of the hero mentality in the last few minutes. Other than those few possessions in the fourth he did a good job.

lol that's an abstract take on it. Isn't it more like the other way around ? Those two are dumb and dumber. Not sure which is which tho

Not really, it's pretty obvious. Everyone plays better defense when Gobert is in because the other team doesn't want to drive to the rim nearly as much. Makes it a lot easier to play pressure defense.

50% of all Burke hate needs to be given to Exum.

And Ingles. Not that I hate Ingles or Exum, but their lack of shooting confidence actually makes me appreciate a guy like Burke who isn't scared to shoot the ball. I get way more frustrated watching those guys pass up shots than Burke taking shots.

Trey played well as a scorer off the bench, which is what we are asking him to do now. He played good defense right up until Portland starting using tricks to rub Lillard off screens because Aldridge was ineffective. That would have been a opportune time to reintroduce our 6'6" pg stopper, but he sucked pretty hard tonight, so we went with an exhausted Trey.

Ingles is a bit of a scrub though. He's getting so many minutes because of injuries. And Exum is 19 and all of that. It's a lot easier to hate on Burke.
 
6 of the next 7 games are against West playoff-calibur teams. After that, 16 of 23 are against losing teams.

Aldridge scored legitimately once that I remember on Gobert by pinning him with his shoulder then scooping underneath him. The one other time he got by Gobert, Favors blocked him from behind.

Still surprised Aldridge didn't go to his turn-around jumper against Gobert. He really had 0 confidence in shooting over him.

Ingles was supposedly a good shooter in top European leagues. No reason why he can't be a good shooter in the NBA other than he doesn't have the confidence in his ability to get his shot off.

Burke is going to be a superlative backup pg with the ability to score off the bench and start in case on injury. We need a guy like that. and picking him # 9 in a draft where we got the best player at #22 doesn't really break my heart.

Wasn't Gobert 27th?

He tried that, Rudy stuffed it. I think that is when Aldridge really started shutting down and turtled up.
 
it's easier to hate on Burke because he's a serial chucker with an inflated sense of his own importance and a terrible defensive liability. The bottom line is that Trey Burke cannot be taking more shots than Gordon Hayward and consistently shooting his team out of the game. Personal viewpoint of whether it's courage to keep shooting so much or just plain stupidity
 
BTW, after seeing what Rudy just did to Aldridge is there anyone left that thinks that Giannis is a better player than Rudy?
