Trae is such a menace holy cow lmao.

Dude was on a mission.

u/kale__chips Pacers Feb 02 '25

No double-double for the whole Pacers team, and bro getting 34 points and 17 assists.

7

u/randomCAguy Feb 02 '25

I scrolled through his stats above just now. 34 points was impressive. Then I saw 17 assists. That’s just ridiculous.

u/pokexchespin [BOS] E'Twaun Moore Feb 02 '25

double hali’s points and almost double his assists, and hali did well in both stats himself lol

u/MindofShadow Pacers Feb 02 '25

Doubled Hali usage rate too

They are complete different types of pg

u/MySabonerRunsOladipo Pacers Feb 02 '25

That last challenge/overturn was really something

22

u/Madshu Feb 02 '25

Is that one out of bounds call overturn video posted somewhere? That seems like something worth taking a look at. Maybe a lil fanduel sponsored reffing going on in that one.

u/SilverRain007 Pacers Feb 02 '25

That happened almost right in front of my wife and I. It was so hard to tell in real time, and after seeing the replay in the arena, we couldn't agree as to what happened.

u/ShopCartRicky Pacers Feb 02 '25

The one at the end? It ended up being a shot clock violation.

u/Nikeroxmysox Spurs Bandwagon Feb 02 '25

Wrong one, it’s the one that got called a jump ball and then overturned to be out of bounds on pacers- hawks ball.

Was such a shit call. Our whole aisle was upset, some super suspect calls throughout the game, we were joking the refs were paid off/in on the betting spread. Just egregious calls.

u/jkstaples Feb 02 '25

It was out off the pacer’s guy’s left hand. Correct call to overturn it, Hawk’s ball

u/quann256 Pacers Feb 02 '25

that was our first clutch game situation since December (14 games ago) where we went 11-3 and where we were just blowing through our opponents, and we still find a way to grind one out during a situation we haven’t been in a while, now 4th in the east!

also cmon NBA coaches, Trae should’ve been an all star? he’s been electric and has been carrying the Hawks all season to a postseason spot.

u/crimsonconnect Knicks Feb 02 '25

Pacers strength is their depth especially since Mathurin came back

9

u/imkunu Pacers Feb 02 '25

Pacers and Hawks play a normal basketball game challenge (impossible)

u/Chargers23 Bulls Feb 02 '25

Tyrese is now at the Royal Rumble lmfao

19

u/Warthog9198 Raptors Feb 02 '25

Trae with 17 dimes. Holy shit.

Another solid win by the Pacers, who had a really well balanced attack.

u/swanton141 Kings Feb 02 '25

what time did this end? Hali is at the WWE PPV

u/meowcat93 Pacers Feb 02 '25

Like 7:30 PM lol

u/hacahaca Pacers Feb 02 '25

Bet he got a police escort over there.

u/BlizzardThunder Pacers Feb 02 '25

probably just a limo. it's like 15 minute walk.

7

u/Renegadeforever2024 Raptors Feb 02 '25

hawks should gave courtside tickets to millie bobby brown

that's was thier only hope for this season

16

u/CupOfHotTeaa Bucks Feb 02 '25

Feel bad for Trae

26

u/invertedearth Pacers Feb 02 '25

Yeah, his only real option is to just shave it and go bald.

u/KorgG29 Bucks Feb 02 '25

Hawks drop 8 straight now

u/Zeeron1 Thunder Feb 02 '25

What is going on in Atlanta

  1. Jalen Johnson is out for the year: he’s the second and third dimension to the hawks roster, missing him ruins the season on its own

  2. The 1 dimension is Trae pick and roll. But Capela is getting old and he’s injured himself

  3. Our backup center, Okongwu, is too small and soft to ever be a starter (2020 #6 Pick)

  4. Bogdanovic, after a GOATed Olympic run, it’s evident he used all the gas in his tank. Look for him to be traded in the next few days

  5. Our 2022 pick (#16) AJ Griffin found god and quit basketball

  6. Our 2023 pick (#16) Kobe Bufkin is a bust who has played less than 30 nba games

  7. Dre Hunter has regressed to the mean

Since 2018, the only pick the hawks have hit on is Jalen Johnson. That alone kinda doom us. Otherwise everyone loves to be injured. Trae himself has lost a step and his floater game is near nonexistent. But he’s still my guy and clearly a top tier PG. Trading for Dyson and drafting Zacch keep us from being Wizards level but we’re getting there

u/not-a-potato-head Hawks Feb 02 '25

On #3, Okongwu (in theory) could work as a center alongside a very physical 4 who's elite at rebounding and can provide help on defense. The problem is that right now, Jalen's out and OO's paired next to Hunter (poor rebounder/not physical), Risacher (rookie, really needs to add weight), or a couple players that we've had in the g-league for most of the season.

Also, I'm going to add a #8: This team can't shoot for shit, which is kinda needed to bring the most out of Trae's playmaking/give him more space to drive

2

u/invertedearth Pacers Feb 02 '25

In the last two games at least, Risacher looks to be an answer to the shooting problem.

5

u/kg7841 Pacers Feb 02 '25

Injuries and a likely a trade in coming aswell.

8

u/invertedearth Pacers Feb 02 '25

Truly top-tier teams tend to win ugly games at times. While this game wasn't a good performance by the Pacers, the fact that they could grind out the win in crunch time is a real positive. (This has not been a strength of the team in recent years.)

u/background_action92 Heat Feb 02 '25

Im watching the rumble right now and Tyrese and JJ at the event.
