RedDawg#8 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Im sorry I just had a flashback to when Team USA actually picked Harrison Barnes, Mason Plumlee and Myles Turner over John Collins, and picked Derrick White and Marcus Smart over Trae Young. Where were all these people praising our ultra-talented Hawks roster then? Team USA really sent a hot headed defensive stopper with no offensive game to represent us. And they wonder how that team finished 7th at the World Cup... Damn you Lloyd Pierce. We know it was you that sold them out. You turned your back on your team AND your country! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make their apology as loud as the disrespect is. Edited June 23, 2021 by RandomFan 8 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Love and Brook Lopez made the cut? Lopez a bigggggg maybe. But Kevin Love? What is this 2012? When was the last time this guy was impactful? Middleton AND Holiday? Trae, John, please send these guys home and shit all over these pretenders. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kg01 Posted June 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 The chip on their shoulders just morphed into the rock of Gibraltar. Thanks USA Basketball. The only more corrupt enterprise in the basketball world is the Hall of Fame. Oh, surprise, surprise, both run by the same goon, Colangelo. Coincidence? Nope. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost wonder if the Trae Young rule will only be applied to Trae Young. So, you can run into him from behind all you want. If he stops and someone crashes into him, is that a foul? Can you pump fake and jump into a defender? Lots of questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RandomFan Posted June 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) A few paragraphs from the article: https://theathletic.com/2666094/2021/06/22/how-trae-youngs-fearlessness-developed-and-how-the-hawks-have-taken-on-his-identity/?source=emp_shared_article The Hawks have taken on Young’s identity of fearlessness, and it has led them to the Eastern Conference finals against the Milwaukee Bucks. They just won three games in Philadelphia after the Sixers lost only seven times there in the regular season. This Hawks team believes it can beat anyone, anywhere. Young’s leadership, particularly in the second half of the season, has grown significantly. His father credits coach Nate McMillan for guiding his son toward understanding how to be in charge of this team as the franchise’s cornerstone. “It’s been so gratifying for me to know that Nate has come into this situation, as someone who’s played the game at a high level and been successful, and been able to teach him to not only be that leader on the court, but that leader off the court,” Ray said. “He’s able to have conversations of what it was like when he played with Gary Payton and how Gary Payton would get on a team’s ass, but he would also take criticism from his teammates. I know that’s been the biggest benefit is our conversations haven’t had to be as much as they were because he’s got a former player that’s been through the fire.” One of the partnerships that Young has benefited from has been with Bogdan Bogdanovic. Young has had to learn how to concede to Bogdanovic and others at times and understand how he doesn’t have to feel like he has to do everything now for this team to win. Bogdanovic and Young are so close that they feel like they can have any kind of conversation with each other, good or bad. “I’ve told Trae how we’re only here for a certain amount of time and he has to always challenge us to be better,” Bogdanovic said. “Three seasons go by so fast and every year there are some changes, so we have to do it now. When you’re young, you think you have so much time. He’s doing a really good job of not limiting himself. He has no limits. I feel like we’re both really competitive and sometimes we don’t agree. I’m a little bit stubborn. He’s young. We see it from our way but at the end of the day, we figured out how we just want to win. Whenever we have little verbal fights — it’s not fighting, but it’s just a challenge to get better. He accepted me, and I feel like he respects me and I respect him. It’s easier to play with a guy when you have trust. You can tell him certain stuff and he’s not going to be mad at you because he knows we all want the best, and his confidence in us has helped us all.” Edited June 23, 2021 by RandomFan 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
