"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Reke doesn't mind passing, last game, if people would have hit their shots dude prob would have had like 13 assists. When it comes down to the 4th quarter and nobody continues to hit i have no problem with tyreke going tyreke mode and trying to do something for us.
I truly believe that Tyreke has elite NBA talent that is diminished by a low basketball IQ. Nonetheless I truly believe his weak stats at the starts of the last 2 seasons are more of a function of his health than his actual basketball acumen. When healthy I believe Tyreke is an All-Star talent and am happy to see his at the rim rate improve recently. Also it is hard to argue that his shooting has improved and he is taking less step back off balance shots. I credit his shooting coach for this. If only he could become an average defender?

Mostly just trying to satisfy my OCD tendencies by getting to 3,000 posts
update:
tyreke is now averaging 19-6-6 with 49.4% shooting and 33.3% 3pt shooting. DA GOAT! I think he finishes the season averaging 20-6-6 with 46% shooting and 31% from 3.
Any stat to compare the following combination?
Reke/EG
JH/EG
Reke/JH
Since Jrue went down and Tyreke has taken over more of the point guard duties, these are his numbers in 7 games:
Wonder if he is a more effective PG than Jrue.. He seems like he's playing more steady and he's a matchup nightmare for other PG's
Will be interesting to see if he keeps it up through the tough stretch coming up after the Nugs. (LAC, ATL, OKC, @ OKC, CHI)
Tyreke should be traded now while he's playing well. He needs the ball in his hands, there's no way around this. The problem is that he'll never be that guy on a contending team. If there were ever a chance to pick up assets for him, it'd be now. I'm super happy he's playing better as of late, but I don't trust him when it matters.
