One of the developing playoff narratives is that the young stars/superstars in the league are finally making noise in the playoffs

 

• Atlanta:  Trae Young
• Phoenix:  Devin Booker
• Dallas:  That "#77 dude"
• Memphis:  Ja Morant

 

The league is in good hands.

Did anyone catch Bogi at the post game presser. His eyes were still locked in, said there is no time to celebrate time to move on to the next game. Dude is a killer.

Trae in his presser looked like we just lost. Dang near chewed his lip off.  He is definitely still locked in too.

John may be the only one keeping it light. Those 2 guards though, them boys ready for a dog fight.

This is uncharted territory for me.  I was just a kid when Nique was dueling Bird and I just remember being heartbroken and angry that we didn't close it out in ATL when we had the chance.  It's been a long time since we had that kind of player that can put the city on his back.  Not like Nique did...

To see Trae on National TV leading the charge and telling the Knicks fans and Spike Lee to STFU...  I feel relevant as a fan now.

Difference between then and now is I think Trae has some more help. Bogi is the real deal, Collins is going to show up big at some point, Cap is the REAL DPOY. If Hunter gets his sea legs under him... oh ya, and we got ticking time bombs Gallo and Lou that can explode at any given moment. This team is a handful. It's going to take ANY team playing their A game to knock us out.

Trae Young, they don't want to give you your roses. So know you what, go to the garden and snatch them bitches.

It's time to make them all pay (the whole League) For Snubbing Trae and Clint during the Allstar game in Atlanta.

Trae had his ups and downs first half of the season, then Harden moving to the East made the All Star spot competition incredibly difficult... 100% should have made it over Ben Simmons, but at least I can wrap my head around the snub a little. The Clint snub though was absofreakinglutely criminal. Everyone involved in the snub should be stripped from ever voting for the All Star game until the end of time.

I'm seeing a lot of NBA Twitter saying they didn't know Trae was this good.  Well half of y'all were focused on his defense on a terrible defensive team and foul drawing at the beginning of the season to see greatness.

I noticed. Bogdanovic just looks like a dude that you don't want to be owing $$$ to. Nothing remotely good could come from it...

[Diesel]

The announce team was using words to suggest that Trae was manufacturing foul calls.   I chuckled on the challenge that was upheld. 

All of these things are done to plant seeds.   They want the officials to not call fouls....

Like when Randall Blatently pushed Gallo Out of bounds in the 4th.   Right in front of 2 refs...   The announce team said nothing.

I see you are still lit. Love it

Interested to hear answers to this question: Do you think we win this game w/o the obnoxious NY crowd?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Let their hate fuel you Trae.   Continue to be great.   Tear their hearts out.

Absolutely.

Because I think the crowd helped Burks turn into Jayson Tatum in that 4th quarter.

Atlanta Fans better show up in Atlanta...

 

That is all.
