Would’ve loved to see Trae with 40/10, but highlights would still be The Beard barely missing 30 to end the streak. They’ll mention the Hawks as the team they played, because they have to.

It’s ok true Hawks fans know what’s up...the rest of the world will know soon enough if they don’t already.

Did you see Harden at the end? In the backcourt he was looking to human bumper car himself into a Hawk to go to the line..then he crossed court and I swear he almost wanted to call timeout. :lol:

Then Nique says...that’s a class act...

:lol:

Wow, Trae is good! And this is from a guy who had a violent reaction when the Doncic/Trae trade happen. :D

That was fun to see Trae go off. Really wanted the win to go along with it. Sluggish 3rd quarter and missed free throws hurt us.

9 TOs in 3rd quarter did us in, allowed Rockets to get a solid lead.

I hate the steph curry comparison but what other guard in the league is bombing deep 3's like this? If he can actually do this consistently and combine it with his elite playmaking he will have an steph curry like impact on the offensive end.

We just need some wings who can make plays when teams start blitzing him near half court.

Another thing, Am I the only 1 that noticed that Trae's release is looking much quicker? I think he may finally be adjusting to the nba size defenders and getting his shot off much quicker

The “draft two wings” war cry will go on from me...we need 2 elite wings from the 2019 draft. Then watch Trae really go baserk!
