Jrue did fine.
Refs and Capella carried Trae over the hump.
I just worry kids will want to play like him, ushering in an era of ugly and god-awful basketball.
Middleton needs to hit his shots.
Go figure.
I find you disdain for Trae truly baffling.
You talk about him as if he were some punk. You were willing to entertain trades for Gentle Ben, who showed little heart or pulse in the playoffs, but Trae has taken the Hawks to the ECFinals and you are still pissing and moaning about him as if he were some poseur.
UGLY AND GOD AWFUL? For real?
Kid has game.
Kid has HEART.
An thanks to Nate, an improving head for the game. The Team Game.
Great court vision, wily passer. And YES, like LUKA, he sometimes goes into the HEATCHECK ZONE, but good grief, the sheer threat of him making some bonkers shot keeps defenses open, and creates easy looks for the likes of Capella.
He has no fear, and out size gonads for a mere Lilliputian. I call him ICE TRAE.
The Hawks are missing their starting SF, the 6'8" DeAndre Hunter, who gave Julius fits in the opening round on D, and who is a reliable offensive option and outside threat. They are also missing Cam Reddish, a rotation player at SF/PF, and BB's injury has neutered his impact. And they are still winning and pulling out hotly contested games against top tier opponents.
And sure enough, it was a Knicks "fan" [not you] who chose to spit on him.
Oh, and Jrue had a great game, and is a stout defender and his shot after clutch shot, giving as good as he got. The refs didn't gift anything to Trae. I hope IQ is taking notes.
Luka's back in the Balkans, firing up the BarbieQ and Trae is contesting for the NBA finals.
Give it up for the kid.
