NBA Fans React To Trae Young's 38-Point Performance Against Cavaliers: "Best PG In The League."

Trae Young is one of the best point guards in the league today, and there is no doubt that his offensive production is off the charts. He has looked unstoppable at times this season, and he is clearly a player that can warp an entire defense.

The recent matchup between the Hawks and the Cavaliers is one that many people were looking forward to, as it was a win-or-go-home play-in tournament game. The winner would end up as the 8th seed in the playoffs.

The winner of that matchup was the Atlanta Hawks, and they were led by Trae Young, who put up an astounding 38-point, 9 assist performance. A lot of fans reacted to Trae Young's big night, with some stating that he is the best point guard in the league.

Trae Young tonight:

38 Points

9 Assists

52% FG

CLUTCH. 🥶

A lot of people generally believe that Stephen Curry is the best PG in the league currently, but Trae Young is definitely a top-tier point guard. He had amazing averages during the regular season, putting up 28.4 PPG, 3.7 RPG, and 9.7 APG. He also became the first person since Nate Archibald to lead the league in both total points and total assists this season.

The Atlanta Hawks will face the Miami Heat in the first round, and that's not going to be an easy matchup for them. The Miami Heat will obviously be favored, and they have stars in Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, while also having a lot of elite role players such as Tyler Herro.

With that being said, with Trae Young, the Atlanta Hawks will likely go in confident into every game. He is genuinely a superstar-caliber player who can do it all on the offensive end. It remains to be seen how far the Hawks will go in the playoffs, but their first-round matchup is bound to be extremely exciting.

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...
