@BrickCenter_ Sadly for some players and teams, foul-baiting is a big part of the game. Especially for someone who’s played like ass in the post-season his entire 17 year career
@kyleRo33@WadeFink Ausar played stupidly in game 6. Cavs foul-baiting is very sophisticated. Strus and Merrill (and other Cavs) grab the player they are guarding and pull them into them, making it look like an offensive foul. Pistons have to learn to react to that better, especially Ausar.
@Charlottean28 Ausar MUST slash to the basket and be willing to pull up for short jumpers. I think the only reason he doesn’t is he’s embarrassed to shoot free throws. Gotta figure that out by next year. Kenyon is 100% right.

Kenyon Martin says Ausar Thompson is hurting his team on offense:
“You get two feet in the paint young man you got to shoot the ball. Cade making the right play, he don’t need you to hockey assist all the time. Put the ball on the rim man, you more athletic then most people you can put it up on the rim and go back and get it if your not confident in the first shot. But at times your team is playing 4 on 5 offensively. You got to put the ball on the rim young fella.”

@MobHoops He must learn to slash to the basket frequently to be a factor on offense, and to pull up for short jumpers. Looks like we need to wait until next year for that.
