Historic RS didnt lead to wins...We were 9th in the East..Nobody cares about individual stats anymore..

Yeah cuz Nets fans were crapping on KD all year and LAL fans were hating on LBJ. Wrong. 

Some of yall are just lousy fans. Own it.

Nobody is rooting for him to fail...I'm just tired of all the blame shifting and obviously so was Dre tonight

 

People have been rooting for Trae to fail all season.

Trae needs to learn from Embiid.  ALWAYS have a backup injury ready that you can cite whenever you play bad.  Put an extra wrap on the hand, knee brace, shoulder tape, anything.  That way when you play well people will say “wow! Even with the injury” and if you play bad they’ll excuse it.

His fans do that all the time anyway...They just make up injuries for him when he stinks!

Isaiah had his time. 
Jordan had Jordan Rules. 

ShaqFu had his time. 

Giannis had to learn to play against the Wall. 

Butler sucked eggs last year. 

KD just had his...

and so  Trae will have to get over his craporoma 

It happens to all great players.   They run up against a defense built for them.

It will be interesting to see what changes are going to be made.

Oh yeah, i forgot.. you hate our team.

 

People been killing the Lakers and Nets all season long and been super hard on them of late. Ya'll love excuses. Not me. We got work to do Travis.

Bruh u got to be kidding, u got to an acct at TAtf.  No player will be hated more than Ryan in this town 

I'm talking basketball.

But yes, you ATL sports fans do hate Ryan.   I guess that's Trae's fate too, if he never brings a championship to ATL.

 

Matt Ryan has legit Hall of Fame numbers.  The Super Bowl appearance will definitely help, despite the disaster that happened in that game.

Dang Peo...  The mancrust you have on Hunter is Strong...

Trae stans are showing how lame they are for real. In a series where he obvious played like shit. I mean, he got the worst offensive RAPTOR in the playoffs. Think, the 2nd best offensive player in the NBA got the worst offensive RAPTOR in the playoffs. WOW!

This is what should be the focus. 

I'm for a coaching change of some type.   Maybe a new OC can be given to Nate.   Maybe an old OC can be given to Nate.

Just matching everyone's man crush for Trae.  Dre deserves at least 1 fan.  Trae can't have them all.

Do really think there a single poster saying he played well?  Yall are creating this argument against Trae fans that exists only in your delusions.

JeffS17 really might be becoming the best poster of the year. This. The offensive scheme is flawed. That said, it could work if you have the right players. With Trae's system limitations, man, it's gonna be so hard. 

Its a damn shame I didnt get to see what JJ could do this year.

We may be saying "build around JJ" by now... smh

You cant build around a 6' scoring PG..that is one of the WOAT on defense.. That shit is damn near impossible.

Hunter has been one of the worst players on the roster this season by every advanced stat. I love the fact that he had a breakout playoff series, but let's be real, he has some consistency to show before he deserves consistent praise.

[Diesel]

I think our offense should change to more of what we saw in the first qtr..

I like how we started this game.  Faster pace and strong passes.  But we have to add in cuts and screens. 

If we were to get a new coach.. D'Antoni is on my shortlist.   I think his form of pace will work better for our gang than anything else.   Plus, we can work towards getting DeAndre in the midrange.  I think he can be a master there as we have seen tonight.
