Not to knock Hali, he’s an incredible playmaker but a lot of this has to do with the pacers having the fastest pace like ever, they run fast breaks basically all game.

Next week Trae will airball a 3 from the logo into his daughters head

Trae Young had record low efficiency last year and then he started off with record bad shooting this year and so people call him an inefficient shot chucker. But even when his efficiency was bad he was still running one of the top offences in the league last year, and this year he seems to have gotten even better at passing and has stepped up majorly on the defensive end.

I’m predicting this will be Traes best season so far.

Yeah, I definitely had low expectations for the magic this year, where as the Thunder had an MVP calibre player and top pick 7’1 sharp shooting rookie coming in at 21 with a year of NBA development. Thunder had expectations.

To me the biggest surprise teams are the magic, the Rockets, and maybe the pacers.

It’s just become so hard to hate LeBron, he’s really had the ideal career from a media standpoint. Besides the fact that’s he’s still undeniably great at 39 fucking years old, he’s just never really had any big scandals or anything and comes off like a decent guy at all times, and over a 20 year career if you’re a piece of shit it’ll come out.

Bro I’m the biggest Trae fan there is and even I put the odds extremely low. There is potential, but even if he gets 55+ wins, improves dramatically on defence(which he is starting to do and I think he will continue to improve), has a 50/40/90 season which would be by far his highest efficiency, and going 30/10/2steals, he still has such a narrative against him that he likely wouldn’t win.

I do believe all of this is a possibility(though unlikely), but even then I think the narrative prevails.

Yeah that’s fair

But the 90s and 2000s are still pretty widely talked about as the best era of basketball. Obviously opinions vary and it’s not consensus, but I bet it’s the majority.

And I would be fine with 140 point games if it didn’t come from 50 free throws per team every game.

Yeah, Hali has an amazing assist to turnover ratio like Chris Paul, but he’s also playing on a team that has fantastic spacing and literally runs a fast break on every play, so it’s not like he’s throwing contested assists from ISO nearly as often as Chris Paul.
