This series ends the argument that Trae is a superstar. Dude shouldn't showboat anymore.

I doubt this drubbing will humble him any.

But again, the main issue is the people at the top. Until ownership and management is good there will be failures.

Last year was a fluke.

They ran into a tough team this time and they got punched in the mouth.

Did Jordan Rules declare that Jordan wasn't a superstar?

What about the Wall that was set up for Giannis?

I watched Olajuwon destroy David Robinson the year Robinson won MVP..  Did that Destruction mean that DRob was not a superstar.

come on man, good players lose and sometimes look bad doing it.   Stop being a hater.

I think you’re being unfair. If Trae believes in himself within the right system then it shouldn’t be ignored. Put the right system in place and let’s see what happens…you have to give this kid a true chance . 
 

traes dad has been saying he’s good off ball for the longest despite what we may think. 
 

It’s probably going to be a learning curve but if Trae is willing to accept playing off ball I don’t think you ignore that in the front office. Let’s grow his skill set.

LMAO! No. I've been watching him since he was playing for MOKAN. He never could play off the ball. Even for Team USA, he was bad at it and was terrible. Y'all want Trae to be who y'all want him to be instead of who he is.

Finally got some 'oomph' from Hunter. 11 rebounds , got to the free throw line and played great defense eith 3 steals and yeah he scored a lil

I’m not really sold on Trae off ball… his vision and passing is elite… we need better options and responses to how teams guard him but imo he needs the ball in his hands as much as possible

Trae will be worn out by midseason running around like Steph out there.. He already looked gassed at times this year..

I'm not responding to the "fans" on here that just want to gloat about a team they supposedly cheer for.

You seem to talk a lot of trash the entire game but when called out about it, you get upset.

If we were going to lose... This is a good way to have gone out.

1.  Fighting our way to the 8th seed by taking out two good teams. 

2.   Trae being challenged.... Hard. 

3.   Dre getting confidence playing in the elimination game like a helluva pro. 

4.  us playing the 1 seed strong even though overmatched. 

 

I'm glad that we didn't lay down.   We fought back in this elimination game.   I think our guys got some stuff in their craw that will make them work hard.   I think we came into this season Cocky.  That won't happen next season.   Tomorrow, Trae will get drug through the media and social media.  Cool.. he Works hard.   I think he will come back better. 

Every player got some things that they can improve on.

Travis has to take a good hard look and do some soul searching and figure out what will make us better.

Trae was bad in the entire series and deserves to be criticized. But he can get some slack if he was injured. He definitely didn't look himself after that Lowry soccer foul. As far as the fan base, it's the same everywhere lol. You should see what Nuggets fans are saying about Jokic for being down 3:1 to GSW. It's Jokic's fault for everything. They even blame him for 90 points that Steph, Klay and Poole are putting every game on 60% fg efficiency as the fans want him to chase all 3 on the perimeter, and then score 40 points on 80% fg. Fans are the same everywhere lol

I agree with you. Trae is not a competent off ball player. But the greats always add new dimensions to their game. A lot of us feel like this is the next step for Trae, but it's up to Trae to want it.

I can see where you're coming from on the first 3. The last one....Don't know if I'd call our performance playing them "Strong" when we couldn't even beat them with 2 starters out.

Now that this crapfest of a season is over, can we talk about the in the room?!?!

I blame this season on which ever morons decided to fire Ryan Cameron and not have Renee on every night. The season was doomed from the beginning. SMH

Booooooooooooo....we want Ryan and Renee!!!

And how many starters did we have out? Capella and JC are out there playing with injuries that would keep them out for weeks. I think there is a lot to criticize this series specifically with Trae Young and the way Nate coached, but how did Miami play today without two of their key guys? Not too well. We've been playing with key guys out or extremely diminished all series long. We can't just gloss over that fact.
