Trae Young - The Man, The Viper, and The Prosecution aka The MVP aka Ice Trae

[MarylandHawk]

Boy oh Boy. This is getting good. 

[Gray Mule]

Just over, reading NY posts.  Julius Randle getting a lot of blame for the loss.  No one even mentioned the defense he had to face.  He just didn't score as usual.  Their coach is getting roasted also.

Trae hate abounds there.  They want him out.  Some want him on the floor.  Others, send a hit man for him in the game.  The fans would gladly pass the hat and pay the fine.  Some speak highly of Trae.  They are in the minority.  Most would love a broken bone or two.

Whistle blowers were terrible, they say.  Some say, "JR will recover and the next game will be a blow out."  Others believe they win a close game and still dream of winning it in five.  One or two now are saying, "Hawks in four.  We can't contain them."

Over there, it's a mixed bag.  Hating Trae.  No one really likes their coach.  Most feel that their team was let down by JR.  And, their starting PG, who was replaced by Rose, was another culpit. In other words, to make a long story short, they are not a happy!

How has Young disarmed New York’s barb-wired defense?

“Because I’ve had so much preparation,” Young said. “I’ve worked extremely hard to get to this position. I’ve prepared, it feels like my whole life, for this stage and this moment. For me it’s about all the work I put in behind the scenes makes it easier for the game.”The Knicks couldn’t handle Young in Game 1. He scored repeatedly in the paint, beat them on the final play and shushed their fans in Madison Square Garden. The Knicks couldn’t slow Young in Game 3. They forced Young to give up the ball, so he spread the ball around to the many hot Hawks shooters.

The Knicks really didn’t slow Young in their Game 2 victory. Hawks reserves floundered in that game as Nate McMillan left Young and the other starters on the bench too long. McMillan changed his strategy for Game 3. Young played the entire first quarter and McMillan staggered minutes for his starters. Either Young or Bogdan Bogdanovic were on the court for all but a few moments.

Just another day in the history of Trae. 

[benhillboy]

3.44:1 assist to turn and 43% from 3 (on an ideal 5 attempts) in the series.  He’s turned back the clock to the second half of his rookie campaign when he adjusted to the league but they had no idea how to adjust to him.  There are too many possessions for the defense where the underrated handles and the quirky timing of the passes simply isn’t defensible.

I expect Thibs to make drastic adjustments that will likely backfire.  Bogi, Kevin, and Lou just bring too much to the table if you divert too much attention away from them as Trae is back to elite passing out of doubles.  He even had Clint and John make a few Draymond roll assists. That man gonna pull out a Box-and-1.

Weird avatar, bro.

On topic, I'm expecting to see a double-digit free-throw game today from Trae and knick heads will be exploding gloriously across the nation.

Seriously though, that avatar is super weird.

Spud made me do it.  You know how throwed off homeboy is.  I gotta ride it out until the end of the season but the second it does it’ll be Coach OG Nate.

Yeah, I may or may not have consulted on that project.

I just didn't feel like you were getting enough attention for it.

I definitely did a double take but wasn’t about to question another man’s business or weird fetish.

The bet pays off when you ask about it.  Never ignore weird avatars, folks.

My question is why you kids keep jumping thread to thread? Getting woozy here, unless of course it’s a cruel game of hide and let Spud seek. Then you’re just d!cks period.

You look good. If we somehow win the finals will your month be up? Seriously if we get far in the playoffs and your month is up you’re gonna have to ride with that avatar it’s great luck. If you don’t @hazer will gather the villagers. Hey, they’ve come after me before it’s no picnic.

Thanks for bringing attention to it.

WTF?

I hadn't really looked at his avatar closely, although I knew it was changed because of a bet. 

I saw something white around Trae, and thought it was angel wings or something.  I didn't even realize it was a photoshopped wedding pic, with some dude kissing his wife's hand and . . and with Trae face on the wife.

 

I bet when @benhillboy saw that . . he was like

 Not just some dude, homes.  Look again

Everybody knows about Trae now. Record a day stuff they may not know about but they just saw him on national tv and it wasn't really close. This is Trae's team and the Sunday audience snapped out of it am pretty sure.
