No Respect for DeAndre Hunter.

Meanwhile, Trae gets mugged every time he drives to the basket and gets no calls.

It's frustrating for sure seeing our guys consistently get 0 love from the refs.

To be fair, if they called the game for Trae like they call it for Lebron/Giannis/Doughboy.....he'd shoot 30 foul shots a game.  The problem for Trae is he's drawing contact like other stars but he handles the ball so often it draws complacency from the refs.  Most other 'stars' only handle the ball in ISO situations. It may seem unfair, but it is what it is.

The above is correct though, this is on Nate. Nate needs a standing up for his guys press conference. He needs to just go Diesel at a Marvin convention crazy and just ring up the fines. He needs to talk about:

1. How Trae gets mugged.

2. The unholy amount of holding that happens when our shooters are running off screens. (This one drives me crazier than any). Watch Bogi and Kevin try to run curls around screens (especially Kevin) and you'll see fists full of jersey a few times per night. Kevin is way too strong and smooth for opposing 2's to track when trying to get open and they just grab and pull.  Next few games, don't watch the game, watch the shooters coming off screens. Its criminal.

3. The amount of shoves and hip checks our players take when fighting through screens.

4. The amount of over the back that Clint, Collins, Hunter, OO deal with when rebounding.

 

Nate sits at the mic.

Reporter: So how did you feel about the game tonight coach?

Nate: I'll answer that in a minute. I'm fed up and had enough. That game was harder than it needed to be and I applaud our guys for fighting through what is a night in, night out unfair whistle.  

Reporter: What play are talking about?

Nate: All of them, most of them. Its every night. Look, with as much as Trae handles the ball he's getting bumped, tugged at every play and he drew what, 9 fouls tonight and you've got other coaches out there crying he's foul hunting. That man is getting hit nearly every time down the court and it needs to stop. Our guys getting held going around screens, hip checks. Look, I know we aren't the biggest team and that plays a part but call it fair. That's all I'm saying (slams down his water bottle spraying the front row). Look I'm mad. I'm not saying its intentional or there's some conspiracy but call the game fair. If other team's stars get their hair messed up, its a flagrant. But our guys need to get hip checked into the scorer's table to get a foul called. No don't ask...yes I'm mad about it, yes I know this is a fine....here's another....The officiating needs to be looked at.

Just go full Pop on them.

I must admit, the angry, saucier thecampst has been really scary this season.  I keep trying not to make eye contact, but I can't look away.

He finally stood up for himself 

I really appreciated that. At one point I saw Nate flinch like he was going to do something to protect Dre but kinda backed off. That might have been another instance he got hit a few times.
