lol i'm guessing you didn't watch the series? Also I think the commentary was that the Hawks are a top 5 Eastern Conference team. Low bar I know but they definitely are.
we’ll check back in on the superstar take when they’re playing a team that’s not lead by derrick rose and julius randle
you're right. nearly sweeping a 41 win 4 seed isn't impressive at all. The term is so ambiguous that you can move the goalposts any way you want.
Trae had an arena chant fuck him, had Noel trip him in Game 2, was spit on, had the ball thrown at him, and was body checked walking off the court and he didn't let a single thing phase him. Guys like Trae are built for this and guys like Randle get locked in jail by Deandre Hunter.
Remember this thread started and guys were claiming Trae Young sucked because of a few summer league games. He could win us 6 rings and clowns like dtx would still have a but to add on the end.
Did you get dropped on your head when you were little or something? This is Craig level trolling at this point.
He takes ridiculously dumb shots far too often and can’t play defense to save his life. I’ve watched this dude play for years now and none of that has changed/improved. He is not what the idiots in this thread are hyping him up to be and the only reason you guys are advancing in the playoffs is because you played the shitty Knicks.
Ahh I see, you're still stuck in 2018 and haven't actually watched him beyond a couple of playoff games this year. Keep fucking that chicken brother.
Not only are you guys delusional you’re also soft as shit. Keep getting upset that somebody on the internet doesn’t like your favorite player
You're saying he fucking sucks still for some reasoning that isn't based in reality anymore, but yes it's us who are the ones who are actually mad.
Young doesn't suck but he's one of the worst defensive players in the league. He'll never make it to the Finals as the best player on his team.
if reddish didn’t fucking suck it might be not be too awful but you’re talking about the difference between a top ~25 player at best and a top 5 player that’s a huge gap
Last year it was Trae would never make the playoffs as the best player on a team. We just held a playoff team under 100pts 3 games in a row and had a quarter yesterday where we gave up like 14pts. Our defense this playoffs has been the best in scoring defense and third best in rating and Trae Young is our best player.
I don't know who or if anyone said they'd never make the playoffs but my hunch is you're making that up. You'd have to be really, really bad to never make the playoffs in the East
Let’s look over names on that list before treating it as gospel. Top 10 player Robert Williams for example.
I honestly think he only watched the last few minutes last night when the game was over and Trae was just fucking around and launching bombs.
I think Trae is a really good player. I think he’s absolutely capable of developing into a superstar. … He was 5-20 shooting in the first half.
I think the best version of him is shooting a bit less and facilitating. But I was just responding to the guy saying he just launches terrible shots. That really hasn't been his game lately.
Yep that was honestly Lloyd led Trae, not Nate led Trae where the team has more than just a semblance of a cohesive and functional offense which involves multiple if not all the players on the floor.
I did some math and ran numbers and got back Hawks are top 3 in the nba and Trae Young is a top 10 player. Nothing else to discuss below this line. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
