Like I said that is a played out narrative, his defense is much improved. He will never be a Gary Peyton defender for his defense is acceptable. They tried to exploit him tonight he was guarding Burks on the block and Bullock on the perimeter he stayed in front of his man and contested the shots.

how delusional do you have to be? they literally hide him on defense. he's special offensively but don't get it twisted, he might not be able to guard you.

[Axe]

27/30 huh?

That's a lotta help for the knicks rt but it still wasn't enough to overcome ice trae, who finished the night with a double-double.

[insight]

Game 3 final score: Hawks 105, Knicks 94.

Trae Young 21 pts, 14 ast

Hawks had seven players score double digits, shot 52% FG and 59% threes.

For the Knicks, Derrick Rose scored 30, but Julius Randle shot 2 of 15 and RJ Barrett shot 2 of 9, and the Knicks shot 36% FG and 30% threes.

Free throws were wild: Knicks 27/30, Hawks 5/8.

Hawks lead series 2-1.

The ref were blatantly trying to keep the Knicks in the game. That free throw disparity is ridiculous.

Trae Young is such a bitch

Yep, they would be really down by more than 20 if not for them fts which saved them from pure embarrassment. Their defense seems overrated at this point.

I can tell you haven't been watching the Hawks this year. Last year he was literally the worse defender in this league. This year he gives more effort on the defensive side and it shows. The only people who couldn't play defense were Knick players, Trae got anywhere he wanted too but I,m the one that is delusional. Like I said why arn't you talking about D Rose, and Bullocks and Burks defense?

Fuming

Steaming. Maybe Rose should play some defense.

[PeroAntic]

Steaming. Maybe Rose should play some defense.

No one is denying Trae's ability. Nothing to do with the fact that he is indeed a bitch. And it was Capella's defence and Randle + RJs utter choke that determined the score, not Rose's defence on trae. Bullock was guarding Trae most of the time anyway.

Reasons.

[PeroAntic]

Reasons.

Sure aint Rose, hes the reason it was only 11 points loss in the end. Literally everyone else sucked. And its not like he was not involving them.

The Clippers should have traded for Rose during the season. They would have been cruising now.

Lol the refs allowing the knicks to attempt 30 free throws outside of msg seems oblivious to you.

Rose's defense was dogshit. Watch the games. Doesn't rotate on shooters.

Trae owns the Knicks and is the King of New York.
