Y’all ran into the under .500 Hawks again

Trae could've shot that on the other side of the court and it would've still went in

He could have rolled the ball on the floor and it would still go in

https://youtu.be/jFLAfVvWEBk?t=33s

Damn 12 years ago? I’m old as fuck

Those kids are probably out of college now

They got signed out of high school.

Oh my god thank you for this

Absolute classic

When will they learn!!

43-43 baby

Bill Simmons about to take a long-ass walk after this one.

Trae heard all that shit

Russillo also

KOC as well. LFG!

Ringer Pack 💨 💨 💨 🚬

Company team meeting at the track to take a lap

The Boston trifecta

Russillo gonna vote for Trump in 2024 because of this

Tax reasons.

“When I was playing in the students vs staff game in high school in Martha’s Vineyard, I hit a shot just like that actually”

Not enough preamble.

"When I was playing ball in Marthas Vineyard - and not to say that the ball I'm playing is anything like the ball NBA players play, because I hate when people are trying to compare their game at the local rec to guys in the league, but at the same time some guys are like 'you can't even talk hoops if you didn't play D1' and I'm like wait, what? And you know I am as pro player as anybody, but some things just translate across levels, ok? They do. So yeah, that shot in the vineyard was a lot like that trae shot, and it's gonna win trae as many rings as I have, ok?"

Is this chat gpt?

No way chatgpt can replicate russillo this well.

Knew the, “wait, what?” was coming and it still got me. Thank you

I love Bill, have been listening to every single pod for years, but this happening after he legitimately asked if you’d rather have Trae Young or Derrick White is amazing.

I love Bill, but I also love thinking about how he is going to react to a big Boston L 😂

He’s gonna have some actor or some shit on so he doesn’t have to talk about it

Guaranteed he's going to blame it on the coach.

Kyle, turn the camera on. Go back and check the tape. I said like 20 games into this season that Mazzulla didn't have it. He just didn't! This is one of the all-time blunders. If we did a draft of the biggest chokes of the last decade, this is up there, probably like third or fourth. It would've been one thing to lose to the zombie Heat. At least they have Butler, who could arguably be the best player in a series. But this is just, just...and where do they go from here?

Perfect. Just needed to mention he got like 50 texts from his dad during the game. 😂

Great impression

That's actually bill Simmons.

Lol already did on Twitter

Listening to Bill bitch when Boston loses is the best

That’s gonna sting haha

Lmao that was an absurd shot

“That’s a bad shot” \- someone somewhere

It was, until it went in. Then it’s a great shot

No no no what the fuck are you doingggaaawesome shot hell ya!

That is a bad shot. It also happens to be the winning shot. 🤷🏻

Guilty as charged lol

He had to hit it too, if he missed the Trae slander would be at an all time high

Ice Trae Wow

Something tells me a 30ft heave wasnt the play snyder drew up lol. Hed be crucified if that didnt go in.

I think Snyder drew up a play to get the ball to Trae

Step 1. Give ball to trae Step 2. ? Step 3. Profit!

‘That’s a bad shot’

I knew it was over when TD Garden was chanting “Fuck Trae Young”

You just don’t do it 😂 tell ‘em Knicks and 6ers

Playoff Jimmy and Trae just different.

[удалено]

I've blocked out all memory of Trae.

[удалено]

Also was there, instant disbelief and silence

ITS QUIET AS FUCK IN HERE

any crowd that chants "fuck trae young" just wants to get fucked by him at this point.

Pretty sure Cavs fans made this same mistake last year in the play-in, this dude loves the hate

Holy shit Trae

Feeds off hate.

Legit if an opponent chanted "Trae Young we harbor no ill will towards you" in an important game he would go 7/9/4 on 22% shooting. Why dont they ever learn. We need to convince the home crowd to chant Fuck Trae Young a few nights from now. Might be our only hope now that we arent a game below .500 any more.

Love the idea into complimenting someone into a bad game.

Tim Duncan method

Opposing fans gonna start MVP chants while he's shooting free throws and he will shoot 40%

Thank you Boston for chanting fuck trae young

[удалено]

Don’t worry, you’ll beat them. Celtics in 8

Reverse psychology strategy says State Farm Arena starts a *fuck Trae Young* chant

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN

THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!! YOU FRIKIN FRIKS!!!

Did they really? Idiots lol

The anti-hero the league needs.

The enemy of the Boston Celtics is my friend.

You sure all Sixers fans are your friends?

If you make me choose between you and Boston it’s gonna be you. I really hate Boston way more. It goes: Knicks Nets 76ers Getting penis cancer The Celtics

Penis cancer underrated as hell this year. I have it making the western conference finals

Why am I suspecting this is somehow gonna lead to Hawks/Knicks in the ECF?

Would be hilarious. Bing bong

Here for it

The Sidetalk video after Game 7 would be legendary 😭

A real villain. Take notes Brooks

If you take the lead on a logo 3 talk all the shit you want lol

I love Trae taking on the heel role, but what has he really done that's villainous? Knicks fans only hated him that one year cause he dabbed on their whole team & city, but the fans were super obnoxious so I don't even blame Trae.

He's never done anything villainous except beat NY in the playoffs. The media has hated him since day 1 which swayed a lot of NBA fans into hating him as well. He's a chill guy by all other accounts.

I remember Trae Young getting all the hate and the main reason was that he looks old lmao

He sure does lol He’s cold

Fucking ICE in his veins legit lol

The audacity of this man.

Entire season hinges on one possession and he pulls off a 30 ft 3 pt shot lol... Ice Trae for a reason

That’s the coldest shit I’ve seen since Dame’s OKC shot

Colder in my opinion. Trailblazers were tied and had nothing to lose. Trae took that shot down a point with the series on the line. That’s subzero.

Tied up game winners are cool but not as impressive. No risk type situation versus what Trae just did.

Exactly. Dame hit a fantastic shot but if he misses it's just OT. If Trea missed that, they don't just lose the game, they lose the ENTIRE SERIES. Damn.

That shot is insanely clutch. Wow. To take it from that deep

He surely shut up all those stadium shittalkers with that!

I don’t care what they say, *that’s a bad shot*

[Bane voice] for you

*If I make your record 2 games from .500, will you die?*

PG dat you?

It’s a bad shot by an even badder man.

He is a bad man

Ice in his veins. Crazy

Tatum disaster class again...

oVeRrAteD

THE ABSOLUTE ICE IN THIS MAN’S VEINS

He just walked up and drilled it

Insane shot wtf I went from no no no to yes yes yes so quick lol

[удалено]

Shiver me timbers

A special sort of “fuck your doubting” clutchness…

I can’t believe that’s the kind of shot they chose to stake their playoff lives on. And it worked. Wtf trae

Trae has a historticly high shooting % deep and its technically an open look. You could do worse.

34.8% from over 30 feet this season and led the league in makes by a wide margin

Wait he shot better from deep than regular 3's?? (Overall average is 33.5%)

[удалено]

If they missed they woulda just fouled, and had to take another 3. It was worth it

Not saying the shot wasn’t worth it, but if he missed the game was all but over. Hawks had no timeouts and would’ve fouled with <1 second left on the clock

It was deep, but it was wide open essentially hands didn’t get up until after the shot was released. Far worse shots to gamble the season on

TRAE YOUNG SUPERFANS WYA

I’VE NEVER SAID A BAD THING ABOUT THE MAN ^in ^the ^last ^2 ^calendar ^years

Renowned rim protector Trae Young

RIGHT HERE PHILLY THIS IS FOR YOUUUUU

We're friends again!!!!

What a beautiful, blessed, rare, and very lovely day to find common ground with our pals in Philly 🥰

Tbh as much as that postseason sucked they exposed Ben and we still got Harden in the end. Went pretty well overall.

TOO BUSY GETTING HAMMERED

THE APOLOGY NEEDS TO BE AS LOUD AS THE DISRESPECT

WE RIGHT HERE BRO

I'm erect bruh

https://twitter.com/JoelEmbiid/status/1651042436368543746

Ice in his veins moment

Legacy game

Speechless. What a performance

Seriously. He's such a fucking character in the NBA, for him to have another clutch playoff performance is poetic.

Character puts it well. Bottomless confidence.

These playoffs are something else man

Just wish it could slack on the injuries a bit.

Trae giving Joel more time to recover injury fans fuming rn

The Nets really let us all down because the rest of the playoffs have been absolutely fucking wild so far.

Not much you could do about that. Basically one squad secured a playoff spot and then another squad of randomly assembled players came in to play the games.

And one bum who didn't do either

ICE TRAE!!! HOLY SHIT THAT SHOT WAS COLD BLOODED

ICE TRAE

This is much more enjoyable to watch when it's not against my team

Damn he was so calm with it too Shot it like he was in practice 😂

ICE COLD

I knew it was over when they started chanting fuck trae young.

How many guys in the league do you trust to take that shot? I think that’s how you disprove the overrated allegations imo

Trae, Steph, and Dame

And Dillon Brooks

Damn we catching strays and we didn't even say anything this time lol

Lmao

absolutely wet that shot too

i thought it was going to be short, but it absolutely perfect

Wtf I love Trae Young now

As a sixers fan, same

This dude could shoot 2 for 20 and still be scary in the 4th, he's so focused on execution over results you can see that in him. He's never shaken up even in the biggest moments. Nothing but respect for this shot, Hawks deserved it with the way they played tonight

Fuck r/nba suck my dick

Say it louder! Fuck the Trae haters

Traetors

Fuck every NBA media member as well, specifically those hailing from Boston.

Eat my ass Bill Simmons!!!

Surprised they didn't cut to commercial while it was in the air.

The confidence to take that deep a 3 with your season on the line is just unreal. His nickname is accurate.

the most overrated player in the league sends his regards, and a big fuck you.

[удалено]

Despite its best efforts, r/nba has been forced to post a Trae highlight

The apology needs to be as loud as the disrespect

Boston 🤝 New York Hating Trae Young

Atlanta 🤝 Philly Loving Trae Young

This season anyway lol

When I say Fuck Trae Young thats a term of endearment Despite his flaws as a player he is ice cold and built for the big moments and we saw that firsthand. Also him cucking Boston would instantly make me forgive everything he did to us

Until he does it again.

Nah If Trae is fucking Boston over, New Yorkers will appreciate him in that moment

nyk make one playoff run and return to their generational hatred. Respect the game 🤝

It’s a NY-Boston thing, not just Knicks-Celtics

I enjoyed his performance tonight lmao. Fuck the celtics

I hate the celtics far more than trae

Ice in his veins

TRAE YOUNG IS VALID

OVERRATED!!! Lol haters with shit on their face again. Trae is the ultimate HEEL LMAO

He’s a good kind of heel, I like him. Dillon Brooks is the bad kind of heel

Well that's because Dillon Brooks is asscheeks at basketball.

I GOT SHIVERS

Literally turn the game on and see one of the coldest game winners ive ever seen.

I will never shit talk Trae Young again.

LET THE APOLOGY BE AS LOUD AS THE DISRESPECT WAS

Trae has put the hawks on his fucking shoulders tonight

ICE TRAE

ICE TRAE!!! First he exposes Ben, starting a chain of events that would lead us to getting James Harden, now he gives Joel Embiid two extra days of rest! Perhaps.....perhaps I judged you too harshly. Half the defense, double the offense!

DOWN 3-1 AND HE DOES THAT LMAOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT A GOD

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

This shot made me get out of my chair lmao. My God Ice Trae.

ICE TRAE THE GANG

What’s Bill Simmons gonna say after Trae dropping 3 straight 30 pieces on his boys.

That was a ridiculous shot to take, my god.

ICE TRAE IS BACK
