Trae Young just dropped 50 points on the Heat

[insidehoops]

The Hawks beat the Heat 129-124 tonight.

Trae Young 12 of 25 FG, 8 of 15 three-pointers, 18 of 19 FT, for 50 points and 8 assists (7 turnovers, though, but whatever.)

:bowdown:

[StrongLurk]

Remember when people thought Ben Simmons was better? Trae can become a superstar while Ben Simmons is BARELY all-star level.

[coin24]

Trigga is such a stud, proving all the haters wrong

Simmons is 100% better than Young.

In 2 years I’m picking trey over Kyrie , reminds me of tony Parker but with curry range

[tpols]

and they benched this mfer for kyle lowry. :facepalm

[Manny98]

His range is unreal

He pulls up from literally the logo like it's nothing

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

He's arguably the worst defender in the league LOL

Team Bran would've hunted him every possession and got easy points

Hahahahaha. They had “the hardest worker in nba history” Jimmy Butler and “elite defender” Iguodala guarding him all game and they literally had zero answer. Hisboffense would have been game changing. Trae also hadrhe game winning defensive strip on Bam

Btw Cam Reddish was clutch as hell and has been incredible lately. I can’t even comprehend how people say the hawks lost the trade

John Collins is a worse defender.

Simmons can’t shoot. Shooting > Defense every day of the week.

[imdaman99]

So what's his nickname? Trigga Trae or Ice Trae?

They was scoring at will mostly anyways thats why they caught up so quick while being down by 9. So to me if they gonna score that easily anyways you might as well have someone in the game that can drop points back on them as fast as they are putting up points. Atleast since it's a race to 157 you can get there quicker than the other team.

[falconfan13]

John Collins is a worse defender.

No he's not although im beginning to think Kevin Huerter might be that man has started struggling big time lately on the defensive side.

[falconfan13]

So what's his nickname? Trigga Trae or Ice Trae?

He has tons of them Traeway, Trigga Trae, Ice Trae, Traemendous, TraeTL and a few more than i think aren't that good in Replay Trae and Broadway Trae both of which very very few people ever call him. I think the one that is most used in atlanta is Ice Trae because he always does the cold shiver thing himself when he hits a deep 3 or big play. So if he has embraced it himself i figure why not go with it.

[red1]

he is the first of many currys to enter the league in the coming decades

[plainview1981]

Collins is. He gives up big games often and is easily pushed around.

He doesn’t understand positioning and he is thin like a 70’s-80’s PF.

Huerter is bad also.

[falconfan13]

The thing is though he really isn't outside of the long range 3's He's not a curry type of player he is more of a Steve Nash type of player which is who he mimicked his game after and goes to in the offseason to learn from. Thats why he is so high in assist totals as well he is Steve nash with a ton more range. I would say the best attribute for curry is without a doubt his elite shooting ability. Where as Trae's best attribute is his passing and Vision of a playmaker.

[Lebron23]

He is an evolutionary Curry.

[Gougou]

Feels like Gilbert Arenas dropped 60 on Kobe Lakers.

[LakersFan626]

Impact is better than both though. As of right now, Simmons has done a better job of leading his team to wins than Trae, though he's only in his second season so that could easily change by next season even. Trae's defense would be a problem in the playoffs though unless they get elite defenders to hide it (Curry had Klay, Draymond, Iguodala, Bogut, Zaza, Livingston, etc. around him on the Warriors, Dirk and Terry had Marion, Chandler, Haywood, DeShawn Stevenson, Caron Butler, etc. on the 2011 Mavs, LeBron, Duncan, Garnett, Hakeem, Kawhi, Kobe, and Jordan were/are all elite defenders when they led their teams to the championship), as no team has won the championship with bad defense.

[Ghost1]

manufactured


getting 10-20 free throws on the regular because he's so tiny :lol

If you swap Trae and Simmons the 76ers get better and Hawks get worse lol. Simmons is on a stacked ass team.

TRAEWAY!!! :dancin

Trigger Trae did the Heat dirty last night

[insidehoops]

Ice Trae.

Indeed. Video game Trae Young.

He is nash, curry, parker and iverson combination
Probably patterned his playing style to them after studying their game on youtube.

Ice Trae is terrible. If that were me I would publicly reject it like Durant did with Slim Reaper.

[Axe]

It would have been a blowout win for the heat if not for Young's heroic effort.
