And it’s just Trae Young. Not even some superstar PG like Steph or a healthy Kyrie or Harden.



Trae will win an MVP one day. Bookmark it

Mr Sixers have the Number One offense

He’s already a better one option then Irving and Harden. Harden has always been suspect on the 3ball and his floor skills. Turnover prone is an understatement

Trae has already clocked 120+ assists check out his turnovers lol

His floor skills have always been overlooked.

100% exhaust offense at all times is very very rare to find.

Curry is his ceiling. Crazy take but just you wait and see, he’s already has the whippet can’t catch that man that Curry has.
Curry cannot get anywhere the floor man Trae is.

Trae is as good as Luka but in more in a team orientated way.

Luka is trending in the wrong direction and I love Luka.

Fwiw so is Embiid. Embiid hyper centrism is a death sentence.

If Lillard was top ten Trae will beat it. This was light work today which is scary scary

Young has been incredible but he is real hard to like.

How do you defend this?

If you trap Trae, they can just lob it to capela.

In this action, they switched perfectly Giannis was on Trae. When brolo came to help, he wrapped it to Capela. Jrue can’t help. And watch what happened.

Why can’t he keep playing this way?

33pts on 25 shots



If Jrue plays like this Bucks can win the championship

He’s averaging 23 shots in his last 3 games. His FG% hasnt been nice. Looks like he isnt comfortable taking that many shots. But even Bud had a mid of playoffs awakening that this playoffs is about guard play off screen scoring contest.

If jrue can take 23-25 shots per game on good %s, Bucks can win the championship.

If you’ve been following cassell, cassell is a PG’s coach. He works well with a lead guard as his team’s top player. Actually he isn’t maxed out on our team.

Cassell would have been a great coach for the Mavs.

Doc or Carlisle are the ideal coaches for this team

Hawks-Bucks G2

Bucks switched the PnR forced Hawks to attack 1v1.

Someone on this board mentioned about running this defensive scheme when we faced them.

Trae was horrendous

People are talking about his turnovers and shooting % but his “defence” was disgraceful

Because they have multiple guys who can switch to Trae and they are long enough to make great defensive close outs and rotations. Their defense this game reminds me a lot of the Raps

Trae did his thing on Ben. Now he dropped almost 50 against Jrue as his primary defender.

And it’s just Trae Young. Not even some superstar PG like Steph or a healthy Kyrie or Harden.

I mentioned this earlier in the year, but I still contest that Trae is way better than Steph ever was. Steph was an elite shooter, but he is/was never on Trae's level of a passer and scorer off the dribble.

We should have switched those PnR and let the Hawks beat us 1v1. Watch the G2 of the Hawks-Bucks series

Embiid might average 35 if he played with a dribble penetrator that can throw lobs off the pick and roll like Paul.
