Not the prettiest game by either team but Trae had some insane highlights tonight

First of all - SLIPPERY! LETS FUCKING GO TRAE

I want to mention how much altitude mattered this game. The sloppy second half with both teams looking slow and sluggish was so huge. I’m actually a huge fan of Trae sitting from 8:30->4 minutes to get the last breath of air to go all out for the last little bit, while everyone else on the court is gassed. Snyder rotation for Trae fucking SMURFED this game

If I heard the announcers right, that ties Luka’s record of 41 in Mexico games

[–] Obelisk00@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Luka and Trae share the scoring record for Mexico City now... The Hawks and Mavs should play next year in Mexico to decide it.

Trae better fire up Duolingo, Luka has played great in Mexico, Texas is closer to Mexico and already knows how to talk Spanish.

Trae Mexico is that dude

that assist on the gamewinner to dejounte was so clean

Don’t forget the 3 steals. Dude has been way more active on D but people are still gonna hate without watching.

Jalen Johnson absolutely owned Banchero all game. Trae had a crazy first half but that should be the biggest takeaway

[–] ImDefAMunch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

both teams were completely gassed down the stretch. that elevation is no joke

[–] Cudizonedefense@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Was definitely gassed. Trae was 3-13 for 8 points in the 2nd half after an incredible first half

[–] minnyman2011@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He really needed this first half. After that T he had that fucking awesome sequence with the 35 footer, splitting the double team for a floater, and then like 6/6 from FT to close the half. Awesome game dude

Mexico crowd was eating him up, I hope he made some new Hawk fans today

[–] BigBoyFroggy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know all anyone cares about is efficiency, but if you watch Hawks games, Trae pretty much creates a wide open, good look every possession where he is handling the ball. Even when his efficiency is bad, he still is basically running their offense. When Trae starts shooting the ball better, Hawks could be really legit.

The league players and this reddit shits on trae but he is offensively a powerhouse. Time and time again he upsets teams with a mediocre cast.

[–] OfferOk8555@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There’s been 8 games and he’s only scored 40+ once??? What a bum. Should have traded him

[–] homiez@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Trae Young is one of the best PGs and should have made the WC squad. The hate that Trae gets is so unwarranted.

[–] Tall_Succotash@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Trae had the crowd so hyped..my people love them a short skilled player lol.

[–] 1234567panda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He feels right at home. Cancun is right around the corner

[–] MickeyRingsDontCount@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kerr really left this guy off Team USA for Reaves lmao

[–] trevychase@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He clearly made the correct choice.

Because his pacific division competitor has their best role player looking tired and all out of wack.

[–] achyutthegoat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Top 5 point guard, top 10 offensive player, top 3 passer, and top 3 playmaker right now

[–] bushies@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why does it seem like people hate Trae on here?

[–] bbqyak@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Because they do

[–] SoftPenisDebutante_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t figure out if Trae is star or not. He has his bad slumps and then games like this
