Sixers fans, please stop overhyping Trey Burke

It was only a matter of a time. From the moment that I saw Trey Burke had signed with the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA’s restart, I knew there would be at least one random game where all of “Sixers Twitter” set themselves ablaze with Burke-obsessed rage. During last night’s Rockets-Mavs game, that’s exactly what happened.

Burke scored a team-high 31 points on 11-16 shooting, while also knocking down eight of his ten attempted three pointers. He played 30 minutes and recored a +/- of +9. Despite the Mavs losing the game, it was undoubtedly a great performance by Burke, easily his best of the year.
