Well the only other point guard on that list is Harden. But Check out Harden's numbers since joining Brooklyn, he's playing out of his mind right now.

I've always wondered how to compare players on basketball-reference.

That team was easy to dislike. It was boring, we played horrible offensive basketball, the team didn't fit offensively, and we did a lot of boneheaded shit. But that team had A LOT more two way players than this one. A lot more. Now, maybe Hunter being out is heavily impacting that but that team had Smoove, Iso, Marvin while not good at being two way was still two way, Horford, considering the rest of the league, we had the most two way players at that time. This team, loaded with one way guys or guys we are hoping become more like Reddish or Okongwu. 

You have a good point. Marvin, Josh, and even Horford were 2 way players. Not sure if if you remember me 10 years ago (geeze, we're getting old), I was the biggest Josh Smith fan LOL. He was so talented but so boneheaded. UGH

There was a lot of competition to get in the all star game. Other players were considered more deserving, that how it goes. The reverses were Brown, Harden, Lavine, Randle, Simmons, Tatum, Vucevic. Tough to break into that group.

I'll take Trae as my PG over any of these guys. Dude is the best passer in the NBA and COULD score any time if he wanted to. Yes, his defense may be trash but he has stepped up his defense a lot. What is the best stat to look up defense ratings? Honest question haha. 

When the NBA was out of commission, I watched a lot of basketball youtube vidoes. A guy I picked up was a D3 star named D'Vontay Friga. He talked a lot of s#&t and mostly backed it up on the courts. Very fun to watch. I don;t understand the Trae hate. He's fun to watch. We all wanted this type of player for the Hawks. As I mentioned before, I like our team better now than the Bibby, Joe, Marvin, Josh, & Horford team. We're young and growing. Hunter is the "keystone". We'll be there folks.

That has nothing to do with it.

What's the reason then? According to RealGM, he's the most unlikeable player. Why? He plays on the playground and scores with ease? 

The crazy thing is Trae is doubled/tripled team the most in the NBA,  but yet, these coaches say he's not All Star worthy? Then stop double/triple teaming him. 

Hate it or love it, we do not need to trade anyone. We are set at our 1, 3, 4, & 5. Crazy is media is starting rumors that we need to trade Collins. (doesnt surprise me) I hope and belive that's complete BS. We're just missing a 2 now. Let us grow and build chemistry. We will be there very soon. Stay positive folks. We're on the way.

Hopefully everyone is doing well.

Huge Trae fan but he cannot go for that lob. 5 point swing at the end of the game.

This is when I tuned in the game He threw a lob up when Collins was defeneded by 2 people. 

Honestly, I will take blame for this loss. I brought up my boy Trump in the politcal forum earlier because it's been boring as hell lately, and I decided to tune in on the game when it was tied up (Just got home)... and I saw dagger after dagger. I take the blame for this.

Also, anyone in the NC area, can we watch Braves baseball on Youtube TV? 

I never understand LPs  line up changes/substitutions 

Not having Capela out there really hurt us. Not sure why he was not out there? 

Congratz Clint! Awesome

They're still challenging Clint, since they did get 1 over him.

He'll get those 10 blocks tonight.

Insane. 

I miss the chatroom. I know they've been working hard on it but wow what a time that was. I just got shore duty orders to NC. What do I need to pay to get this shit back going? Fun times. 

Trae 27 and 5 at half with 7-9 shooting. Geeze. Love what I am seeing. I do not expect us to continue playing this well through the 2nd half but I expect a win. Legggo! 

Looking good. Nice to see Trae start off hot. Lets keep it rollin Hawks

Didn't get to watch this game. Box score telling me good things though. I watched the first game and it is so weird to watch NBA without fans. What a sad year.

It looks like Hunter will be the starter as of now? I figured our lineup would be Trae, Bog, Cam, Collins, Capela.

I'm fine haha. It's been a fatiguing year but I will try to be more engaged when the new season starts, and may come by again tomorrow at some point when the draft is going on.

I'm honestly not sure I watched more than about an hour or so of the restart combined but there was just sports overload then because I was watching baseball and football.

Nothing has really happened to me that's that bad (2019 was arguably worse for me and my family) but so much has happened in general for this year that it's difficult to process everything. It's like we packed a decade into one year.

Sooo...Gordon Hayward. I popped in when I saw that smoke. Is there a chance that this happens?

Hope everything goes much better for you and your family. 

Happy Birthday Gray! God bless!

Lots of people complained the Suns should not have been invited in the 1st place.

 

This.

JJJ has been nice. He has been a nice addition for Memphis (when healthy). Also, WTF about the NBA. How can you go 8-0 "in the bubble" and still not make playoffs, ha. I feel for Phoenix. Imagine their fan base right now.
