Did you watch the game? He had 12 points in the 3rd quarter. Are you just speaking out your arse. I hate when people saying he's having a hard time adapting to the system. EVERYONE IS HAVING A HARD TIME ADAPTING TO SYSTEM. Everyone not named Jrue numbers have went down in the system. Jrue, Cole, Ryan, and gordon made a shite load of dumb hero ball shots in the 4th but its Tyreke's fault because he killed their flow and made them take shitty shots.

Did you see the second quarter? Where he continually pounded the rock, dribbled out the clock and contributed to only scoring 7 points in 9 minutes?

This is a team game. You need everyone to be on the same page. When you have 4 guys working on the court to play a certain way and then the guy dominating the ball is playing another way, it may work for the ball dominator personally, if he is comfortable in that role like Evans is, but it isnt going to optimally help the team.

Not unsurprisingly Tyreke helped the team the most when he bought into the team concept and played within it. He started hitting in the first and third when he began buying into playing off the ball and within the flow of the offensive system. Whenever he started going into hero mode and dominating possessions the team suffered. Such is the way things go when you dominate the ball so much. And when you dominate the ball that much you get held to a higher standard. Rightfully so because you are the gatekeeper to a teams offensive flow.

This entire team goes hero ball stop blaming one guy

No one does it more then Evans and that is the problem.

You have the guy dominating time of possession more then anyone else despite playing in half the games also breaking the system the team is working toward more then anyone else.

How is that in any way acceptable?

What you are saying is that as long as a guy gets his stats he is immune to most criticism. No mater how much that player may be objectively shown to be contributing or creating larger team problems.

Tyreke is trying to adapt and at times succeeding and I give him credit for that. And although i haven't mentioned it I think a lot of the issue is also on Gentry for not forcing players into better positions to succeed with rotations and adjustments. Jrue at this point should be starting and either Evans at the 3 or off the bench with Ryno.
