Most hostile post-win thread in history. 

There was some hostile posting going on in here.  The slander so called fans were throwing at our players was crazy!

Trae was a plus 18 in the 4th quarter. 

Bench Mob saved us!!!!

It's the putting in Wright and benching Hunter effect. Massive swing.

We don't need his defense really, Wright can do it better than he can. AND he rebounds. We're getting destroyed in the glass with Hunter in the game. Not only does that hurt the defense but it eliminates all transition opportunities. Major reason the offense takes off the nano second Hunters ass hits the bench. 

Wright can't guard a big wing like Hunter can.

That only happens if the Hawks get hot from three and bury them and/or Cap comes back.

let's make it 22-3.

This win could be a huge springboard. You know Trae has gotten some confidence back, and hopefully Nate has seen the light and will play Delon the starter minutes.

He's making up for last year. He single handedly made Game 2 a game, and was key again today. We would have gotten swept in blowout fashion every game without him. 

Big Balls Bogi.  Outside of Klay I can’t think of anyone who has that quick above the head catch and release down pat.

You can have a more naunce conversation about him though.  He's being double and triple team.  Miami's defense is tough without Capela and John.  

The minute he got space in the 4th quarter, you saw he went off for 10 pts in 3 minutes.  This is a series were the other guys have to step up to take the pressure off of him. 

He only had three turnovers. 

You gotta know these guys aren't interested in nuance or conversation. They are all about:

Trae is trash

Trae is overrated

I was right about him all along

We'll never win anything with Trae 

Trae is garbage

WOAT

That's the "conversation" these guys are having. Hot take after hot take

Who cares if he's gonna give you 0 rebounds, 0 assists, and routinely miss completely wide open corner threes and bunnies over PG.

They here heavily now after the win. The only thing is they not blaming everyone else right now because Trae was the hero and we won. If we didn't win, Hunter would have got killed for that missed defensive assignment by Bogi. TDF would have traded Hunter before game 4 if we lost.

He's made so many enormous shots the last two games. Not sure who we bring in (if we do) to replace him. That type of scoring ability at 16 million is pretty damn hard to find.

But you know he wasn't playing too good before the end... He was like 3-9 not too long before.

 

Last year, Chris Paul averaged  21.8 points, 8.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds  in the finals.  He only had 2 games out of 6 that were on par with what Trae did tonight...  and they call him the Point god!

I am the one that says WOAT in regards to his defense. Trae defense this series outside of game 1 has been abysmal as it's been all season. You saying that's not true?

Nobody denies that the team has other issues and that Trae deserves credit for the last handful of minutes in this game. He deserves full credit for the last few minutes.

Facts 

I think youre right about downdrading from Hunter at SF as silly as that sounds.. lol.

I always believed our best lineup was our playiff lineup that didnt include Dre.

Trae/Bogi/Huerter is our best trio offensively...

LMAO, obviously I do, Nate does and any sensible mind cares. 

[Atlantaholic]

And yes I said it in a previous post but I'll say it again. Okonguw was tremendous in the fourth, every bit as important as Delon. If we get more of that going forward that's an enormous boost.

When Bogi is on, he is a formidable weapon.
