Terrence Ross has not been good this year. For a player who was getting ever closer to earning a place on my exclusion list (which will eventually get released I swear), his regression was both unexpected and disappointing. This is his first twenty-point game after doing it 21 times last season and his percentages are still in the toilet even after a nice shooting performance last night.
Ross was such a pile of trash that parts of his skin were spontaneously turning into literal trash and falling off of him. That’s why, if you were paying close attention to Magic broadcasts (not like I would recommend that torture for anybody), you would have noticed that he would leave a trail of candy wrappers, banana peels, and broken Starbucks lids behind him as he ran up and down the court. The people with the mops at the baseline were working overtime trying to clear the court of the detritus that was being generated by the walking pile of human trash known as Terrence Ross.
You won’t see it in this video because Ross actually wasn’t trash for maybe only the second time this season. I’m hoping that he pulls himself together and starts hitting his jumpshots, but I’m also sort of hoping that he continues to be trash for so long that one day he wakes up and he’s just a pile of discarded waste items with no human tissue or organs remaining. At that point it would be hard to justify giving him minutes or even a roster spot, as he would have no ability to move or think, but it would be a scientific curiosity. Not to mention, that fate would be preferred to playing like such ass that you turn into a literal human ass.
