I'm gonna say something that may be a little controversial, but I've never liked a player playing an entire quarter even when he's scorching hot.

I get it. Ride with him while he's hot.  But then you have to sit him for the majority of the next quarter and more often than not, they are out of rhythm when they come back in. Just dont like it.

 

My counter is just play him more minutes. Getting 40 mins one night isn't going to kill Trae Young.

Trae is not a freaking game

I guess jerome was a late scratch tonight.

Is 29 and 11 for the half good? 

Dude is insane.

29 on 13 shots... 11/2 assist to turnover ratio.

Nice.

OMG! Just got in from work...I am stunned!!! Is the whole team balling? Or just Trae?

Obviously no one is playing much D

Certainly great to see Ben Simmons posting his normal 0-0 from 3

Good basketball game. Hunter, Reddish, Collins, Huerter, even Jones and Vince are adding with some balanced scoring. But Trae is the masked man tonight. I am listening to the away broadcast, one announcer was like " a dbl/dbl in the 1st quarter, I have never seen anything like this"

By the way, the sixers are going to be PO'd like no one before...we will see how we handle their punch straight into the face!

The hornet nest has been shaken...hope we play like never before and take this game!!!

Mostly it's Trae and Vince. The supporting cast is hitting some open shots which is helping things. 

[enrique]

Oh my, the sixers have 10 fouls and Trae is 15/16 on FT...

That is crazy!!!!

So who is guarding him?

Sixers SUCK on the road, and they are short handed. Honestly with the way they came out I don't think they even bothered to watch tape on us.

I'm still getting used to having a Hawks player live at the free throw line...love it.

Trae out here faking out the cameraman.

Trae is one of the best foul drawers for his size, that I've ever seen.  It just shows how high his basketball IQ is.

No excuse - If they are short handed, we are missing two hands. 

We are playing Vince at Center versus Embiid.

Besides, we've always played Philly tough. Embiid never steps up on the Trae PnR defense.

I know right?  If JJ or Steve Smith could draw fouls like this, they would be automatic Hall of Famers.

Trae practicing his jump pass turnover with Jeffrey.
