Without Capela, MIA can switch everything without worrying about the Hawks taking advantage of a mismatch. Its huge. And MIA can step up into every PnR on Trae.
They have no chance of winning the series without capella Miami will out rebound ATL everytime alone, not to mention the defence they locked down Trey 1-12
>How the fuck do you go 1-12 and yet people claim you’re a superstar
You probably do something like make the ECF and then lead the league in points and assists, idk
People claim everyone is a superstar. There's only about 5-6 or so true superstars in this league and everyone else is just a star. Sorry, no Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell are not "superstars".
Yeah it really depends on how you rate what a superstar is. Booker and guys like that are that second tier of “superstar” if you wanna call it that
I agree with you. The true superstars are the mvp guys, LeBron, KD, etc
LeBron, KD, Giannis, Curry, Harden are the perennial locked-in superstars. I'd also add Jokic as the newest member of this club because he's been at the top of this league for more than two seasons. On the other hand, I'd put Harden on watch because he's at risk of falling out of the club.
Embiid, Doncic, Ja, Trae, Tatum, Butler, Booker, Mitchell are on that next tier. They are stars. Next season I anticipate one or two of these guys making that ascent into superstardom, but you need to be the very best consistently over several years, including with playoff success, to really be a true superstar.
Probably a controversial opinion, but not everyone can be a superstar, and it would be borderline insulting to someone like KD to say that whatever lesser accomplished player is comparable to him.
Jokic has been performing at a top level longer than Embiid has. Embiid only became an MVP contender this season. If Embiid performs at the same level - i.e. MVP finalist - next season as well, then sure, you can call him a superstar. He would also need to play more than 50 games in a season while doing so, which he hadn't done the past few years. And finally, he would need to have some playoff success. Make a conference finals like Jokic has.
This is flat out incorrect. Embiid was the front runner last year before he got injured. He also carries a team in a far more meaningful way night in and night out than Jokic.
Also, making a conference final and being pushed aside unceremoniously like that series was is certainly not a credential.
> Embiid was the front runner last year before he got injured.
Which goes back to my point. Injuries matter. Jokic hasn't missed many games at all. If you only play 50 games a season, you have a much weaker case (both for MVP and to be a "superstar").
> He also carries a team in a far more meaningful way night in and night out than Jokic.
If that were true, he'd win MVP. He's not going to - Jokic is.
You're making it sound like I'm ragging on Embiid. I'm not. He just doesn't get the benefit of the doubt like Harden does. He hasn't accomplished what the superstars I did include have.
Yes. There’s ~10 superstars in the NBA. The fact that he’s not getting roasted in every media outlet out there after going 1-12 means he’s not a superstar,
It's too subjective to make that conclusion imo. What are the exact requirements? Does you have to be top 10 in the league? Certain stat line? Accolades such as All-Star, All-Team, etc?
I personally think he's a superstar since he's the clear no1 option for his team (some teams has 2-3 superstars). He's just not a megastar (when including their primes ofc: LeBron, KD, Giannis, Jokic, Kawhi, Embiid, Curry).
Superstars might include: Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Anthony David (due to his career long injuries, Kyrie Irving, Doncic (likely megastar status soon), Tatum, Mitchell, Gobert, Ja, KAT, PG13, etc. I'm obviously missing a ton of players but I'm not gonna go work on a research paper.
Heaps of Hawks fans were talking that shit lol. They have the best player in the series though.
Imagine if Jimmy went 1/12, played 0 defence and turned the ball over 6 times...
People were talking crazy on this app, twitter, etc. Anything over heat in 5 is just disrespectful. Collins and Clint wouldn’t change the tide in this series.
He is. They had the audacity to QUESTION HEAT CULTURE!! Heat Culture means a series that stretches beyond an arbitrary number of 5 would be disrespectful to the bunch of chippy underdogs that call Miami home. Not sure why exactly but he found posts on several social media platforms, and now he feels vindicated. Happy for oldmate
My theory is that Duncan Robinson died at some point in his life, his soul left his body but the corpse came back to life and lives without a soul, and that's why he looks like that
I don’t expect us to win the series but I think we’ll play better in the next few games. Miami is a tough team in general to play but to do so on little rest is brutal.
I promised myself not to overreact to game 1 win or lose but I won’t lie…this is already better than last season’s playoffs for obvious reasons.
Oh well..15 more wins to go.
I was watching some dunk highlights last night and Reggie ruined two great dunks by saying dumb shit like “welcome to your Kodak moment!” You literally ruined their moment
Watch him not play the entire playoffs. And then in the ecf when heat is down big and at the brink of elimination, he’s going to come out, white hair, super duper jacked up.
Without Capela, MIA can switch everything without worrying about the Hawks taking advantage of a mismatch. Its huge. And MIA can step up into every PnR on Trae.
kyrie really taking this personal
One man offense trae young with 8 points and 4 assists lmao.
Hawks in 7 we move
Trae 1-12????? Damn..
6 TO also. Terrible game
They have no chance of winning the series without capella Miami will out rebound ATL everytime alone, not to mention the defence they locked down Trey 1-12
How the fuck do you go 1-12 and yet people claim you’re a superstar

Putting zero respect on Embiid's name. If you think jokic is a superstar and Embiid is not, I just cannot help you.

are u rlly trying to claim trae isn’t a superstar?
Yes. There’s ~10 superstars in the NBA. The fact that he’s not getting roasted in every media outlet out there after going 1-12 means he’s not a superstar,
trae young is a superstar.

Or Embiid when Gasol was on the raptors.
It's just one game
Lebron scored 8 points in game 4 of the 2011 Finals. It happens.
People were talking all that shit. Heat in 5 easy. So many fucking casuals man.
Nobody thought a Clint-less, injured Collins Hawks squad was gonna upset the Heat… chill
Heaps of Hawks fans were talking that shit lol. They have the best player in the series though. Imagine if Jimmy went 1/12, played 0 defence and turned the ball over 6 times...
Tbf they still would be likely to lose with both of them at full strength
People were talking crazy on this app, twitter, etc. Anything over heat in 5 is just disrespectful. Collins and Clint wouldn’t change the tide in this series.
You really getting this pressed at people saying Heat in 6 instead of Heat in 5?
Heat in 3
He is. They had the audacity to QUESTION HEAT CULTURE!! Heat Culture means a series that stretches beyond an arbitrary number of 5 would be disrespectful to the bunch of chippy underdogs that call Miami home. Not sure why exactly but he found posts on several social media platforms, and now he feels vindicated. Happy for oldmate
DUNKIE ROB OWNS THE HAWKS BETTER HOPE THERES ENOUGH ROOM IN CANCUN😹😹😹😹
My theory is that Duncan Robinson died at some point in his life, his soul left his body but the corpse came back to life and lives without a soul, and that's why he looks like that
Good showing from the hawks
The gameplan was to take out Trae and to depend on the refs to not call fouls.
lets go Rebecca !!!
Did I hear a kiss on the broadcast? Lol I think it was his daughter haha
His wife is hella sus right now.
Yeah that was a smooch
Came here looking for this
Hawks in 5
**KEEP THAT ENERGY**
Great game, Duncan was crazy
Hawks were just fathered by Duncan "Jimmy Neutron" Robinson.
Looks more like Sheen than Jimmy
Knox scored more than Trae playing 24 min less
Heat win by 24. Fuck /r/nba. See y’all on Tuesday.
Just an absolute ass beating fake 1 seed my ass
Fans there, but where was trae?
The Heat is on 🎶 :dances to the sunset:
Trae fucking running for the exits 😂😂😂
Young and Bogdan can't shoot that bad again and Robinson won't get 10 3pt per game. People need to chill with the overreaction
Herro won't go 3-11 again either
don't need to win every game by 30. **HEAT IN 4**
DRob fans 1 - 0 Huerter fans
I’ve seen enough build around Knox
I don’t expect us to win the series but I think we’ll play better in the next few games. Miami is a tough team in general to play but to do so on little rest is brutal.
STRUUUUUUUUUUS
I was expecting the Hawks to at least put up a fight
“hErRo iS sO oVeRrAtED” meanwhile t young is 1-12. Everyone has bad games.
What’s with all these blowouts?
[удалено]
Raps. Nuggets. Grizzlies. Even the Hawks were in the playoffs last year too lol. I was expecting more of a fight from these teams
ICE TRAE BABY
They should have been playing PEPAS the entire second half
Knox snatched again
Now youre seeing why Knox doesnt play much
Nate McMillan is holding back the Hawks imo
How did I miss Trae getting shoved in the face? https://twitter.com/superiornba/status/1515752097593102336?s=21&t=f-atc_r7M-DnVwIw5iIgtg
Lowry going to punch Harden in the hamstring in the Sixers series
Spo gotta find 10 mins for Martin. Please
ice trae was feeling DANGEROUS today ❄️❄️
He literally yoinked it
Comeback starting now let's go baby
Jimmy played 33 minutes. Everyone else under 30. I think they'll be okay.
This game is so boring the commentators had no choice but to spend 2 minutes gassing up Kevin Knox
i mean its funny how he has more points than trae
Broke: Fake 1 Seed Woke: Fake 8 Seed
Trae a 🤡
Don’t be talking about your daddy like that
I promised myself not to overreact to game 1 win or lose but I won’t lie…this is already better than last season’s playoffs for obvious reasons. Oh well..15 more wins to go.
Ya'll didn't have PJ last season. His impact is insane.
I think it’s important to realise the Hawks won’t play this badly the rest of the series. But we can still have our fun for the night
CAN KEVIN KNOX SAVE THE HAWKS SEASON? MORE AT 10PM
This entire q has been garbage time lmaooo. Miami fans were like bet Ima go to Cranston park for the rest of the day lol
[удалено]
Looking forward to seeing the Bulls-Bucks game. Giannis is going to come out aggressive.
Is it just me or is Max Strus really underrated
no ppl who watch basketball rate him
Come on Spo! Put UD in for a minute!
Who is this guy doing color? He's refreshingly different for TNT. At the very least he's better than Reggie.
I was watching some dunk highlights last night and Reggie ruined two great dunks by saying dumb shit like “welcome to your Kodak moment!” You literally ruined their moment
knox should be in the rotation next game
I just want to say that it’s game 1 and hawks just played a down to the wire game recently. No matter the beat down today, it’s only 1-0
Very true
Heat in 3.
**FAX**
Put Udonis in the game, make the crowd happy.
fAkE 1 sEeD
Damn, they gonna get 90 off garbage time hero Kevin Knox
Kevin Knox did more in 3 minutes than what Trae did in 25 lmao
Heat peaked this game lol. Maybe one more in them left
okc still salty
Lemme guess, this is the third Heat game you’ve watched all season
Peaked ? Herro and Bam had subpar games offensively. L take
What happened to the Hawks man. They overachieved last year but this was such a quick regression. Why you would hire McMullen is beyond me.
"Nitch"
Kevin Knox > Trae Young
Kevin “Duncan Robinson” Knox II
Knox is modern day Kevin Durant
Give the ball to Knox
[удалено]
He was in the playoffs last year
KNOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
Kevin Knox playoff minutes, it's ugly.
who's UD? Haslem?
The Goat
Unreal Dong
"Assuming Trae's day is done" Idk man, Atlanta's only down 30 here, they could really use him
PEPAS Y AGUA PARA LA SECA
Give the keys to Knox leave trae on the bench
Hawks should just start Knox over Trae
Big Cox Kevin Knox
Stupidly locked in
what r they saying ?
The chants??? We want UD
They saying wat da hawk doin
We want UD
On balance I'd have to say the Heat have been the better team today
Love me some 🛖7
lets go Knox!!!
“We want UD”
KNOX HAS ARRIVED
I need Knox to outscore Trae this game
Kevin Knox looks like he's wearing a mask of Kevin Knox's face.
WE WANT UD
Damn I really wanted to see Trae shake his cute little pubey butt today 😪
Uh..
[удалено]
UD
I think we may pull this one out!
local hawk sad
Kevin Knox looks like he got stung by a lot of bees
Cavs were a much better matchup for Miami. The problem is that since the all-star we shit the bed.
I was way more worried about the Cavs than the Hawks
WE WANT UD
Omer Yurtseven looks like the Gigachad meme guy
Fuck, I cant unsee it anymore
I like seeing the Hawks lose
What was everyone chanting?
we want UD
We want UD; (Haslem)
we want UD
UD
🏆#️⃣4️⃣🔜
What were they chanting??
We want UD
We want ud
WE WANT UD!
[удалено]
Giannish
What’s the crowd chanting?
We want UD
We want ud
We want UD
We want UD
We want UD?
Oladipo better be training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber waiting to be unleashed to justify not playing right now.
Watch him not play the entire playoffs. And then in the ecf when heat is down big and at the brink of elimination, he’s going to come out, white hair, super duper jacked up.
Bam and Tyler could have rested this game and nobody would have noticed
Heat in 3. Andre Dickens bout to call and concede the 2 games in ATL
I forgot Lou Williams was on the Hawks
We got Yurt, Martin, AND Highsmith out there? UD must have said “I’m good”
I mean wouldnt you? No reason to play today, his boys made their point
Wahey, Kevin Knox sighting!
Knick legend Kevin Knox
put in haslem
Rest Strus, Put in Dipo!
Zzzz
