Trae Young to Knicks fans: 'Boo, take y'all ass home'

The Hawks point guard renewed his role as Knicks antagonist on Wednesday night during a postgame interview on the court of State Farm Arena. After the Knicks lost 121-116 to the Hawks, Young took it upon himself to rub salt in the wound of New Yorkers who had been in attendance for the game. "I hope these New York fans find their way to the exit real, real quick," Young said with a laugh. The comment elicited cheers from the home crowd. "Boo, take y'all ass home," he added, which drew a chuckle from the interviewer .

"Everybody should get their pens out and start writing about Trae Young," Synder said. "He was poised with the officials, from the very beginning of the game, he got blitzed. He trusted his teammates, wasn't selfish, got off the ball early to shooters, and then he started hitting Clint in the roll. He managed the game, took a charge with six minutes left in the game. "If anybody doesn't look at his performance tonight and respect the mental toughness that he has to play with right now when everything is going through him. With admiration for his competitiveness and the trust he has in his teammates, the guy was unbelievable. Not diminishing other guys' effort, but that was a hell of a performance, and we shouldn't lose track of that because we lost the game." -via Clutch Points / November 2, 2024 Pairing Trae Young and Murray together never worked out as the Hawks had hoped. They failed to have a winning record in either of the past two seasons. "In Atlanta, I was in the corner and on the wings, and I made the best of it," Murray said. "Here, they are allowing me to play my real position. Playing point guard. Keeping everything organized. And making dudes better. And doing what I do best." -via New Orleans Times-Picayune / October 22, 2024
