Can we talk about how the Atlanta Hawks finessed the fukk out the Mavs, all over a Euro?

[Spade]

nope

don’t wanna hear that shyt. That hasn’t been the narrative the past 3 years

You hearing it from me tonight.

 

[Spade]

They just mad Trae gets the most out of his teammates and sets the tone while Luka is always crying blaming his teammates

huh? He sets his team up the same way and they aren't making shots. Since KP is on the perimeter, they have nobody like a Capela that Luka can give the ball to in the post consistently. They tried that with Boban. That failed. THJ (though streaky) and KP probably are more talented. They were probably also misused. Then you get to players like Kleber, Powell, Richardson (we traded Seth for him), and who else. The Hawks role players are stepping up. The Mavs role players didn't.

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

didnt say that. but 48 pts alone doesnt win a game. be objective

So when KD scored 48 and got the win peg leg Harden and Bruce Brown were the reason they won

Come on breh you cant be serious right now. If Luka was on the Hawks and doing this nobody would be mentioning the Hawks roster.

Capela is a post up player now

Trae attacks the defense and puts the defender in a bad spot he than throws a perfect lob to Capela resulting in a dunk that's how Capela scores. I'm sure the Mavs have someone on the roster that can dunk a ball.

I mean I didn't say that.

I saw your edited post. That's the gist of what I was getting at. Luka was doing the exact same thing but more times than not, it resulted in a basket or a turnover. Neither of them grab rebounds like Capela does. We have no player, other than maybe KP but he's out on the perimeter that can do what Capela does. You can make an argument for Powell or WCS but I think you'd take Capela over both of them.

The trade was a win for both franchises, both guys look like future superstars if they're not already there

Doesn't matter who is better if you're getting a superstar out of it

was the score 48 to 12? why are you playing dumb.

I'm not playing dumb you are. I've never seen a player in the NBA drop 48, 11 and 7 and people say it was his teammates that won the game.

I understand you have to have a competent team around your superstar, but the further Trae Young goes in the playoffs, the worst this trade looks.

Bias aside, Trey is looking like the more complete player (he still has room to improve) at the most important position on the floor. How he plays the game is how a true PG is supposed to manage the game.

Luka is a traditional SF for me... more like Toni Kukoc or Peja Stojakovic. Most European PG's, minus Tony Parker perhaps, don't play the PG position at an elite level like American born players do. That is a real nuance that people miss...

How many European players (period) would know (physically and IQ wise) how to purposely throw a pass off the backboard like Trey Young did and Collins knowing that the pass was coming to go get it? That is next level shyt.

 

[FreshAIG]

Neither Luka or Trae has a great roster around them, nikkas acting like this Hawks roster is elite. shyt is decent at best. I don't wanna hear that shyt. Trae doesn't even have a clear number 2 (You can say Collins but you could also say Capela, neither are elite players).

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

Trae believes in his group
He kept saying it after the game


Love how he held that 1 up after the game

I swear I thought hawks was losing that one last night

 

[Rekkapryde]

Bron is the only ball dominant player who's won a chip with that style. And even he needed superstars around him to do it.

Just sayin'.
