Trae Young has most recently led the Atlanta Hawks to a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference, capturing the 8th seed in the playoffs. There is no doubt that this is a great accomplishment for a team that had a tough start and was written off early in the season.
Many fans have already commented on Trae Young getting to the playoffs, with some of them suggesting that he is the best point guard in the league. Trae Young himself reacted to the Hawks getting in the playoffs after the game, posting a message on Twitter saying “Let em know” with the hashtag “WeMove”.
LET. EM. KNOW. 😏❄️

It seems as though Trae Young is sending a message to the people who doubted him, and he has definitely shown that he can perform well in a must-win game. Hopefully, that continues into the playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks made the Eastern Conference Finals last season, and that was in large part due to Trae Young.
The matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and the Miami Heat will definitely be interesting. The Miami Heat have been the best regular-season team in the Eastern Conference, and many view them as legitimate contenders for the title. They have an elite defense and star power. Jimmy Butler has led them to the Finals before, and they will be seeking to do that again.
However, Trae Young will likely be the best player in that matchup. His offensive production is that of a superstar, and he knows when to get his own shot, but also when to empower his teammates to make plays. He is definitely a tough cover for the defense, and the Miami Heat will have to be at their best to contain him. On top of his offensive abilities, Trae Young is also a player that is used to being an underdog. He upset the No. 1 seeded Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs last season, and perhaps he can repeat his feat this year against the Miami Heat.
