Breh you’re not saying anything with this post. Trae is an elite scorer. Only 10-15 other players at most can create like him in the world.

Everyone else can create in spots or get a screen.
fam the hawks only have one player in the top 80 efficient in isolation scoring...and it was trae young. the next closest was gallinari.
I said enough.
trae makes all those players lives easier.

:pachaha:the way people move the goalposts for the Knicks is ridiculous

now the season is only a success if we go to the second round when we weren’t even pegged to be a playoff team :pachaha:

this is thibs year 1, they have to relax

hawks were pegged to be a top 3-4 seed
That last part wasn't true. Vegas had us as a playin team

The only people saying the Knicks should win are people who hate the Knicks and/ or are Trae stans and want to make it seem like him getting past the Knicks would be some heroic feat.

The Hawks went through a whole season creating shots when Trae wasn’t on the floor and it played out pretty well. That stat doesn’t factor a team’s style. Hawks don’t play iso ball.

Randle, Barrett and this Knick squad is showing you in real time that iso ball scoring is tough and only elite scorers can do it consistently, especially in the playoffs.

WHY SHOULD THEY?

THE HAWKS ARE CLEARLY
A TOP 4 EASTERN CONFERENCE TEAM.

why?

there being carried by a 32 year old Derrick Rose. On what planet is that a scenario where winning a round should be expected?

The Hawks are clearly a more talented team
Calm down, I'm a Knicks fan you dummies :mjtf:


All I'm saying is that the Knicks aren't playing like they have been during the regular season, The Knicks top 2 players are playing like trash. The Knicks with Randle + RJ playing well SHOULD be able to make the 2nd round.
