Not sure I’ll ever like those long out of rhythm 3’s.

Check out the video I posted from Spoelstra...it makes you realize how powerful those out of rhythm 3s are on the defense.

I just want to troll KB and all the other guys who swore that it was the worst thing ever for LP to talk to “The Core 5” lmao

Wonder where they are now

I am here my friend. I said I did not care for it but understood if it was in the context of young players getting use to or discussing the ups and downs of the NBA. I don't like it if its some elitist club within the club ( team ).

I you want to hear some of the best praise for Trae, listen to this interview with Spoelstra!!!

 

 

So Spoelstra spoke 99% of the time about trying to stop Trae and not being able to do it and had a 1% mention of a late three by Hunter. Coaches be knowing about Trae, sleepless nights ahead for them all.

And the man we've all been eager to hear from....

Remember that line Spoelstra dropped about how Jimmy Butler is a max player and just because young players, cough, Trae Young, get stats don't make them max players. 

Oooh, oooh, also when Spo got all Varsity Frosted Orange over His Guy not getting voted by fans into the ASG. As if he and the other coaches weren't going to let His Guy get in there as a reserve for his 13 minutes of fame.

So sorry, Your Guy isn't popular enough, Spo. I suppose some fans aren't wild about the candle scent of burnt bridges.

"It's a joke that he's not," he said. Well, that was one heck of a punchline tonight!

I loved it, but man our W's do not come easy.

No to be contrarian, but I agreed with Spo. Jimmy deserved the nod over Kemba.

[enrique]

 

Proud of the resilience and grit of our young team tonight!!!! It's nice to come out on top!!! Huge plays by our Rooks too!!!

[kg01]

Cam Pippen.

Thas all I'mma say.

[marco102]

One more tidbit.  I know @AHF posted a stat about how well the Hawks have been shooting the 3 ball since the young core has been together. 

Tonight 16/35 or 45.7%. 

Next season, this team will be a top 10 three point percentage and taking team.

[Spud2nique]

Trae 50 career best!

I’ve said that too but ya for sure. The defense on Jimmy actually had Jimmy flustered . Cam Pipp has a nice ring to it. Trae Jordan  

[kg01]

Shout out to that Deadman that totally mushed Jimi Buttler's face on the block/totally bogus foul call late.

But who was who? lol

Nah,

Now add Capela and another 1st rdr to that. Core 7. lol

Of the 522 50+ point games, Trae hit the points in the 15 fewest shot attempts (25) in history!!! Boy was ballin'
