The Disrespect of Trae & The Hawks. 

I watch the media on the day (media day) after we have taken most of their pick to win the East and dismantled them.  The beating that we just gave KD, Kyrie, and the Nets... and now the media is saying... It must be something that the Nets are doing wrong.   The Nets are a flawed team.  The Nets don't play good defense.  Wasn't this the same Nets team that many of the media said (after the Harden Trade) would challenge for the East?

 

But This is not the first time. 

Remember the Knicks last year.   When we beat the Knicks.. the comment was Randle was a fluke. 

Remember the 76ers last year.   When we beat the 76ers... the comment was Ben Simmons was a broken player.  Doc Rivers is a bad coach. 

Remember when we took game 1 in Milwaukee.  The comment was Milwaukee was one toenail away from being eliminated by Brooklyn. 

 

I keep looking for them to give us our respect.  To give Trae his respect. 

He was disrespected as an Allstar.  They acted like the guy leading the league in Points and Assists was only an allstar because Kids were voting. 

He is being disrespected as an All NBA team pick.  They took 45 voters and polled them and only 8 said that Trae would make an All NBA Team.

 

I'm so tired of seeing Trae disrespected in the Media.  In Social Media. Etc.  The only media persons who respect Trae are Perk and Shaq?

This year.  We snatch the respect.

This is a time when we are not pretenders.   We are and we have the real deal.  Trae is a real star.  Probably realer than Nique.   IN the other thread, Sturt put up a bright line that shows that our COVID games effected our bottom line.   AHF followed by showing the disparity between us and other teams affected by the COVID.  In short, other teams that went through less than we went through had the chance to reschedule.  We didn't.   That's more disrespect. 

As you know... I like to meet disrespect with Forceful Retribution.   In other words, these teams in the East and the League must pay for their disrespect.  I'm talking about a Healthy Hawks team beating Phoenix or Dallas in the Finals 4-1. I don't care if only Hawks fans are the people watching the finals...  We will be respected!!

Back in October, Brooklyn was the odds on favorite to win it all....

But Note...

Brooklyn has never won a title.  Before them New Jersey has never won a title.   How is it that we have to win a chip to get respect and Brooklyn has never won nothing and they were believed to be the favorite?  Hell, we went farther than them in last years playoffs.  Yet they were more than 10 times more likely to win it all than us.

Because of the names on the team that have won them , stop taking everything so black and white, there is context here yes it's NYC so there going to get more attention as well we all know that it's a bigger market, ATL won't get that prolly until they win chip in each major sport that hasn't won one yet that's all I'm saying.  We can sit here all day and come up.with examples to both of these arguments but this isn't a clear cut thing to argue about this is a dynamic that is complex but mostly it comes down to money if u really want to put why who gets what respect.  Who cares if we get all this attention.

You ain't wrong, so the thing I complain about isn't necessarily us not getting respect.  The thing that bothers me is other equally unproven guys/teams that do get respect absent accomplishment.

You got folks out here touting the Cavs and Hornets as sleepers to make a run (whatever that means).  But, when it comes to the Hawks, it's eh Trae don't play no defense so .... how's about the Nets?

You got folks out here touting the SGA's and Ball's of the world but when it comes to Trae, they set the high bar.

That's the part that still bothers me.

Nah Son..

Go back to the listing of odds..

Utah and Denver had better odds of winning it all to start the season also. 

1. They are small market. 
2. Their teams have never won the Chip. 
3. They don't have players on their team that has won the chip. 
4. They were both first round exits last year...

So How does this thing work???

At some point, you have to recognize that the yellow stuff falling on your head is not the rain that people told you it was.

Trae has been counted out all of his life.  All of his life, he had to prove himself.  This is no different.  He is putting up historic numbers and people are still trying to find ways to devalue him.   If Tyrese Haliburton were putting up Trae Numbers, they would be calling him Jesus Shuttlesworth.
