Trae is so damn shifty but relies a lot on drawing contact. Hurts him a lot when the D stays disciplined and the refs don’t call the cheap ones.Also worth noting they did a phenomenal job eliminating Trae down the stretch. 8-25 with most of his buckets coming in the first half and visibly frustrated by the Celtics defense late.
I was listening to the Hawks broadcast early, had to switch because they were just too stupid to listen to. One of their earlier comments that the Hawks should attack the rim tonight because Boston "doesn't have any real shot-blockers." 2nd in the league in blocks, imagine how good they be if they had anyone that could protect the rim.Trae is so damn shifty but relies a lot on drawing contact.

They did a really nice job on him late, pressuring him behind the arc and being smart about not recovering too hard. Also had some nice steals just from playing aggressive but disciplined D and letting him make the kickout to nobody. Their size has bothered him over the years except for the times in the playoff series last year when they sagged off everybody all spring for no reason.
The whole team basically channels DW now when it comes to sizing guys up for blocks.
Tatum has been repping STL forever. The Cs are incredibly lucky there's no basketball team there.Tatum wearing his hometown STL Cardinals baseball cap in post-game conference. Booooooo. Maybe a nod to the STL Hawks moving? Bad regardless.
Since he grew up in NYC, I have no problem with that one either. This is the shit that gets on my nerves:That doesn't bother me. Could always be much worse.
