He had some cringe moments offensively and was a turnstile on defense. But like I said above, nobody on the hawks was really any better. I thought Young was worse despite leading them in points. Got ejected too once it was obvious ATL wasn't coming back.
I don’t think the NBA considers the play-in participants to be part of the playoffs unless they win. But yes, there will be a team from the East in with a losing record. They’ll get swept by the Cavs and no one will watch any of those games. But there will be enough games in the first round that you’ll need to search those games out to watch them.
The NBA playoffs are absolutely worth watching. The regular season can be skipped.
I had that thought last night as well. He was never a real gifted athlete, but man does it stick out in a high-level NBA game.
It's what that franchise does best these days. Sad what a joke that franchise has become.
They got trucked as a team.
Overall he's played well since the trade.
If I were a Trae Young fan...and I'm not...that wouldn't have made me that mad. The game was over and the refs let Orlando get away with a pretty blatant cheap shot on him about a minute before all that. As long as he isn't suspended a game over it, not really an issue.
I just hope that team does enough to make the Cavs tired before hopefully facing Tyrese/Pacers in second round.
Pacers played the Cavs pretty close on the season.
7 and 8 teams in the west are actually a little dangerous. 3rd to 8th in the west were virtually tied to end the season.
Quite a few tossup in the West Imo. Every series but Thunder/ Grizzlies could go 7 or lower seed winning. East I think only series we can't pen in is Bucks/Pacers.
Agree but the Knicks can never be counted on as a rule of sports.
Fair point. I thought they'd have a better regular season than they did. Bridges felt like a glove type fit with thibbs
Yeah 9 points on 3 shots aint bad. His one score at the basket was just pure will.
Trae Young led the league in assists and watching him these games it's just obvious he's nowhere near the playmaker for his team Tyrese is. Lots of volume and usage, lots of low % shots, not incredibly efficient.
Second in league was Joker whom I have maintained for years is the best passer I've ever seen (watching since mid 80s).
Then Haliburton in third despite his really slow start.

Wiggins was really smart to stop fouling Trae Young just as he went up to score, he holds on a third of a second longer Trae Young wins it at the line.
Great defensive and rebounding effort from Trae Young on Mitchell’s last 3 there. That guy is a joke
