this:

"He's clutch, man," Hawks forward John Collins said. "He just has that clutch gene. Guys like him take the shots down the stretch and just expect them to go in."

"Whatever it takes," Young said. "I'm just glad we're winning."

Hawks defense is the difference.  Our trade of Doncic for Trae AND Cam is looking good right now.  Are the Pels (0-3) really superior to us (2-0) ??

All three rookies played well, don't you think?

Unlike Dr. Gawd Complex, I actually enjoy Peo’s curmudgeonry as gold entertainment. Somebody do a wellness check on our friend, where yat Peo?

I know! I feel like somebody is gonna try and emotionally minimize this feeling for me on this board. I can feel it coming.  
 

I just love these positive vibes and want them to last forever!

Love what Trae is doing. But JC and Hunter need more shots. I'd rather see Trae get 26 and 16 than 38 and 9.

I would prefer that as well, but that's not always an option. Collins can't score against Isaac, Hunter was playing in his 2nd game, and Trae was 16/25. Trae shooting was the right call.

Perspective with this Orlando team and Trae being this hot, he had to shoot.  Everyone else wasn't that hot.  Orlando is John's personal kryptonite because of Issacs.  Hunter looked more sped up this game than the previous games. 

That's the great thing about Trae, he can do either.  Death by pass or death by shot.  He had to be the man last night.

You said it better..lol

Probably shouldn't have been as absorbed (or trying to be) in the 7:30 night football games yesterday (as most weren't great). I see I missed a good one.

And people forget, we might not move 8 and 17 for HUnter without that extra Mavs pick...
