He went 5-11 for 15 points. What else could you ask for out of a bench player?
He had some cringe moments offensively and was a turnstile on defense. But like I said above, nobody on the hawks was really any better. I thought Young was worse despite leading them in points. Got ejected too once it was obvious ATL wasn't coming back.

Five teams with losing records make the playoffs. Heat at 37-45. Bronny getting NBA minutes. Why are people not watching?

I don’t think the NBA considers the play-in participants to be part of the playoffs unless they win. But yes, there will be a team from the East in with a losing record. They’ll get swept by the Cavs and no one will watch any of those games. But there will be enough games in the first round that you’ll need to search those games out to watch them.

The NBA playoffs are absolutely worth watching. The regular season can be skipped.

They got trucked as a team.

Overall he's played well since the trade.

If I were a Trae Young fan...and I'm not...that wouldn't have made me that mad. The game was over and the refs let Orlando get away with a pretty blatant cheap shot on him about a minute before all that. As long as he isn't suspended a game over it, not really an issue.

I just hope that team does enough to make the Cavs tired before hopefully facing Tyrese/Pacers in second round.

Pacers played the Cavs pretty close on the season.

7 and 8 teams in the west are actually a little dangerous. 3rd to 8th in the west were virtually tied to end the season.

Quite a few tossup in the West Imo. Every series but Thunder/ Grizzlies could go 7 or lower seed winning. East I think only series we can't pen in is Bucks/Pacers.
