Maybe rough him up, like Beverly defense on Booker, but as I have said, he is not intimidated and like to thrive in this pressure game.

Trae Young is now the best PG IMO, you can't stop him because he has everything, he is smart and he can get a foul if you put pressure on him, if he is in the line, that's automatic money as well because he is a great FT shooter. And mind you guys, Trae young is still playing with an injury, and he still manages to maintain being exceptional.

IIRC, Trae Young is not even an all-star, now that he has already proven people are wrong, then for sure next season, he will be an all start. Imagine if the Young Hawks would beat the Bucks in this series, that would be a big surprise on the NBA as we never thought they'll go this far.

By having a great performance this series and  leading up his team thru conference finals well we can say that he's totally  an allstar level now, for sure many players and fans will vote for him on next allstar. I'm totally impress how far they gotten right now since I'm sure they are out of the  radar if we  talk about title contender teams and if they win this and got the championship for sure this is a great milestone to their organization.

Yeah, there are a lot of snubs in this year's All-Star including Trae Young. But he already gotten his name if I remember it correctly. But definitely, his performance this season was huge, maybe he can sign for a big contract with the Hawks and become All-Star next season.

I also agree that it's a big surprised to reach this far, they have been the underdogs in every series, and yet they manage to squeeze and win. Now another chance to reach the NBA finals. It will be a cinderella story if they go that far.

He already achieved more than our expectation from him, by winning game 1, it is making the series more interesting although Bucks are still the favorites to win the series. I don't know how the Bucks would respond in game 2, but the moment they'll figure out how to win, then I think they can also steal at least 1 game on the road to even this series going back at home.

Trae Young is underrated, it's the battle of the Bucks vs Trae Young, this young man is playing with so much confidence and he is unstoppable.
He probably was underrated when the Hawks signed such a low contract with him, but I don't doubt they will offer him a max contract after next season. However, it's funny to see that Young will earn only $6.5 mln for this season, although he is playing like a superstar.

Quite unexpected victory of the Atlanta Hawks which won by three points. Honestly, after the exhausting past games I'd not have expected all these points but the game was really spectacular and until the last basket you could not tell who would win.
It'll be a great challenge between the Bucks and the Hawks that will compete again on Saturday.
There was one time where the Hawks are down 8 but they made a huge run that made them win on Game 1.
For me this is an upset knowing that many are expecting the Bucks winning this game and they are good team defensively.

Being a defensive team, I thought that the Bucks found a way to stop Trae Young but it looks like that they can't stop him. Made a Career high 48 points and 11 assists. For sure the Bucks will adjust coming into Game 2 and they will not let Young do that again for the second straight time.

P.S. Connaughton is now the new Ben Simmons with his air ball three with a few seconds remaining Cheesy. Just kidding I just saw a meme on Facebook hours ago.

48 points
11 assists
7 rebounds

Just 22 years of age, tying Lebron James accomplishments for the most by a player at age 22 or younger in a Conference or Division Finals game. He is really a superstar, no doubt about it.
Superstar in the making to be honest, it's no surprising that he'll become the new face now from the East or even the whole NBA. There are too many reactions coming from NBA stars and legends, imagine he's one of the 4 players to score 48+ points in a conference finals, just damn hot hands coming from Trae.

Trae Young is underrated, it's the battle of the Bucks vs Trae Young, this young man is playing with so much confidence and he is unstoppable. Bucks might have a problem figuring out how to minimize his production because if they will double him, that will open a spot for Trae's teammates which are good 3 point shooters.

He also has this ability to stop at a dime and then hit a 3. And then dribble penetrate, hesitate and then throw a lob pass to Capela or Collins who is a good finisher. So it's a different set of defense that they should used against Trae. Of course, there is no stopping a scorer, but at least limit his production so that the Bucks has a chance to win. No longer underrated with this performance, legitimate star at 22 years old.

They have thrown at least 3 defenders on him, Tucker, Holiday and Jeff Teague. But Young is unguardable in his series against Knicks and the Sixers. We only see his offensive weapon, but damn, this kid is tough, anyone see him trying to guard Giannis, and giving up like 60 lbs but he body him and make him miss the shot. Maybe rough him up, like Beverly defense on Booker, but as I have said, he is not intimidated and like to thrive in this pressure game.

Good news for Suns fans, bad for Clippers.
If Suns can win during CP3 is out, this can become a blowout game with him back.
I bet they are now losing their confidence but if they could force Terance Mann to run their offense there might be a bit of a change. He is too damn shy with PG13 and even when he is near the rim he hesitates and try to pass the ball.
MVP award should not be the case here, a championship is better than it.


Kawhai needs to clear his way too. A very tough game with Clippers even playing at home if CP3 will help the Suns, though all those 2 past games are close for sure adding CP3 to the lineup will make it tougher for the Clippers.

They need to have Kawhai to balance the game, for sure it will be more interesting if both stars are playing.

Clippers is in need of a winning combo else Suns might take a game from their home and finished this series in a much quicker way.

I don't know if Kawhi can still play in this series, it's more serious that we can think of. I think the Clippers already know that, so they need to step up in game 3 others they are digging themselves into a 0-3 situation wherein the chances are very slim to overcome.

And yes, with CP3's coming back, gonna be difficult, unless PG13 play's a perfect game, he should produce a numbers like what Trae Young did on their first game against the Bucks.

That's just the way it is, they blow their chance to get the win from the last two games and the next game will be even harder. That last 2 free throws by Paul George were crucial and he didn't make it. Now that Chris Paul is back, the game is already concluded if they lose this game 3 in a blowout win by the Phoenix Suns.

Clippers better resurrect Kawhi's injured knee otherwise this is over in 4 or 5, i give them zero chance without him, despite being very close to steal one last night.

Now you get CP3 back in your starting lineup, extra motivated and hungry to play, Cam Payne off the bench running wild with the second unit (you saw how he torched them for 29/9), and most importantly there's no Rudy Gobert on the Suns' roster who you can exploit going small. #SunsIn4🧹   Grin

WTH! Bucks got the 7 point lead and just lost it in a short amount of time. This is one of their problem when getting a lead, they can't keep it.
Jrue Holiday's pick and roll alley-oop with Giannis is unstoppable (3 in a row), they will just have to keep on doing it then switch to misdirection for a three point shooter on the outside. Jrue just need to widen his passing range to be able to see three guys defending Giannis after the roll.
Career high for Trae, someone guard that guy.  Grin
Anyway, cheers to the bettors for Hawks, was it 2.70 for money line?
they started to get relax when on the lead this the reason why they were beaten in the playoffs, in the nets series, they still show it with the hawks, but the hawks are a different team, they always take advantage when there is a chance, unbelievable trae, the hawk's team is a good balanced team, if the bucks won't focus and lay low in the fourth quarter they might experience the same with the sixers

No, it's more than than, I got it @4.32 boosted odds:



Yeah, I thought that Bucks will win, so I stopped watching the game, but when I got back saw them leading already by 3. So it's a good day for those who bet on the underdogs. Reason I bet on them is that they did against the Knicks in the first round and then on Sixers as well.
