    I find Trae very, very annoying from the embarrassing flopping to draw fouls, to the balding afro-weave whatever the that is, to his y bull but I dont doubt his talent at this point. His flopping didnt work as much as usual today (that one baseline foul on Thybulle was embarrassing and even with replay they didnt get it right) but he was still great.
    Ice Trae balling. Put some respeck on his game

    Knicks and 76ers both won championships. Trae beat them.

    Luka is in a dogfight with a team that never made the WCFs
    And?

    He'd be great even without the flopping and foul drawing shenanigans so I'm not calling gimmicks on his game or whatever

    if Luka shot 5/23 Dallas would be losing every game by 40. I think its clear as day Atlanta has a much better roster than Dallas.

    its literally funny to think how bad dallas would lose if luka ever shot like that against the clippers

    swap luka and trae, dallas is in the lottery and atl are favorites against every team except maybe healthy lakers

    I don’t know that it’s Atlanta has a clearly much better roster. They might. But it’s not like he got surrounded by no-doubt star talent and the perfect complementary cast. Capela wasn’t exactly in high demand when they traded for him. Opie Heurter basically won them the series last night and most of the league and damn sure most NBA fans didn’t even know who he was when he got drafted and probably not before these playoffs. Their other high draft picks were injured. Lou Williams on another team is as much of a problem as he is an asset. And any team in the league could have signed Gallo at the right price last fall. Maybe a better cast, but it ain’t no Brooklyn Nets constructed team.

    I think it’s more so about being in the Eastern conference against a ty Knicks team that was built for the regular season and an overrated Sixers team led by a giant talk too much, walking injury and a broke, super dumbed down version of the Freak who shoots worse than him if that’s possible, and dumbass Doc Rivers who insisted on keeping his son-in-law on a role player who kept abusing him. Huerter-Curry was the difference in the game and ultimately decided the series.

    I gotta believe Luka gets his team to the same spot if you put the Mavs as the 5th seed in the Eastern Conference and the Hawks as the 6th seed in the West.

    I agree the compe ion ATL faced is less and the mavs probably could accomplish the same in the same situation. but it's very obvious that Collins/Capella/Bog > KP/Maxi/THJ. Also Lou/Hunter/Huerter > Brunson/Dodo/Rich

    so yes the team is flat out better on every level except the superstar. thats just how good Luka is.

    hes been fantastic

    but if we are comparing him to luka, its not a question luka > trae


    hes been very fortunate to face the teams hes faced so far dont have offensive guards to make him pay for his beyond atrocious defense. hes been allowed to hide every series.

    If he leads the Hawks past the Bucks, we gonna have a convo about it. Bucks are better than the Clippers. Trae in Conference Finals, Luka can't get outta the first round.

    Luka is atrocious defensively as well. Luka is a ballhog too. When he's making shots it's sweet, when he don't (in mid to late 4th quarter because he's a lardass ) not so much.

    Trae shoots it at a great clip from the charity stripe so he's a better closer too.

    To be continued son.

    Exactly. Luka got TIRED at the end of games. That has to do with his conditioning

    Not a huge Young fan, but he's proving to be fearless. I've got no problem with his success.

    oh hes definitely to blame for his own conditioning

    however hes probably nowhere near as tired if he has offensively and defensively competent teammates, and isnt having to body his way to the rim 40 times in the first half just to keep his team afloat, as opposed to trae who has the luxury of taking every other play off when he can just give it to collins, huerter, lou and hunter to go create offense


    Luka is atrocious defensively as well.
    theres a difference between not giving effort, and actually sucking on defense. luka doesnt give effort, but when he has to, is capable of actually playing solid defense and staying in front of his man. there were many occasions where kawhi and pg couldnt get past him, and were pretty much relying on pullups to score on him. but when you have to do literally everything on offense all game, its hard to have much gas later in games. about the only player ever thats been forced to do that nightly for long stretches for his team to win a championship has been lebron.

    Luka is a ballhog too.
    i dont think either of them are ballhogs tbh. generally ballhog is a term used when a guy controls the ball so much that its to the detriment of the offense. thats clearly not the case at all for luka, where when hes off the floor the team ORTG was like a 30

    Trae shoots it at a great clip from the charity stripe so he's a better closer too.
    danilo galinari is a career 88% FT shooter. ig that makes him a better closer than kobe.

    regardless, thats about the only flaw luka has offensively. hopefully he fixes it.

    Luka is definitely the better player

    But Trae has the better supporting cast and plays in the easier conference

    Not hating on Trae, he’s been great and he’s a great playoff troll, I like his at ude

    This is like saying D-Wade > LeBron because he got a better supporting cast early on.
