My one criticism of Trae Young and he's going to learn the hard way. Stop messing around at the end of games. Stop letting the ball roll when you're up and want the clock to run. Stop trying to prove a point by making a late deep threes when your focus should be on getting your teammates an easy bucket. Up your focus at the end of games.

True but part of the big stage is showmanship, it doesn't play with everyone but not is part of the product. I personally hate it but I get why some guys do it to "enhance" their brand. That is sports today.

Almost time for me to play another round of adopt-a-team. Pumped for the Hawks tonight! If they lose, just learn from it and be ready to win two in Hotlanta!

So I originally had the same thought but if it is before the 2 minute mark letting the ball roll is a high IQ play. Prior to 2 minutes the game clock runs but the shot clock does not. So by letting the ball run you can drain 10-15 seconds off the clock without impacting your shot clock.

So in reality Philly who was significantly behind should have forced Trae to pick it up and not let game time run off without the shot clock running.

Hawks are the last underdog standing. *looks around*. Yep. NBA is more predictable than NFL or MLB or NHL or NCAA. Fly Hawks fly!

As long as it's outside of 2 minutes and the sixers aren't going to press him then he better let the ball roll for as long as he can and do it every time if they are winning at the time. You want to leave as little time as possible for them to make a comeback it's the smartest thing you can do.

Damn, Sixers came to play. This could be a beatdown. Let's see how the young Hawks respond. Collins and Bogdon missed bunnies but even if they made them, they need to figure out some things on the other end. Sixers are getting everything they want.
