This is what I see and stated. Seems Reddish is taking a backseat willfully but hos stroke looms better to me.

Yeh sometimes Barrett gave me Bazemore vibes with his out of control drives to the basket lol. He is more suited to that type of game than Bazemore though mind you.

I would be very good with Reddish or Zion. Barrett looks a bit greedy to me thru these first few games to me.

i'm starting to think we'll never seen trae prince and collins together

Wish we had a media member to press them on Collins status. Last we heard he was supposed to be back by the beginning of this trip, yet he hasn't even been listed as probable/questionable.

Hawks need all 3 of Trae Baze and Prince to be ballin to be competitive.

But he uses those pullups to set up his drives. Gotta keep em honest. lol

Yeh I agree just saying. That's the only area where he's been a bad shooter this year.

CP3 shot 28% from 3 as a rookie. Not concerned about Traes shot. It'll improve..Shooters gonna shoot. Just keep passing that rock.

Only thing that worries me is these haven't been 'good' misses. A lotta ugly clankers.

It's worth noting that he's shooting 40% on catch and shoot threes tho. Pullups have been as awful as they seem on TV.

His 3 steals are the sole reason he’s a +3 amid the awful shooting.  I’m ecstatic when he can make a stop.

He has been finding the open man on offense too.

Trae was good outside of his shot smh. Competed well on defense, should have 7-8 assists. 

Imagine Trae being a part of sending the Warriors into a downward spiral. Wish Draymond didn't get suspended lol.

Not gonna lie, I wanted to win that game lol. That was supposed to be Trae's coming out party, refs jobbed us to get the Lakers over .500.

Oh well, the road to Zion continues.

Trae gets enough shots up to find a rhythm. He plays a good amount of minutes.

Cam's high school tape shows a lot of driving. I believe coach K wants him to be a spot up shooter and let RJ and Zion drive to the basket.  I believe if any of them will fall out of the top 5 it'll be cam.  Just because he will not show off his complete skill set on a nightly basis.   Cam is almost as big of an anomaly as Zion.  Not many 6-9 guys move like him with his vision and shooting. 

For some reason I want Cam or Zion more than RJ.

I also believe one of the big 3 and a big (Bol Bol) would be great and it's the Hawks most likely scenario.

None of em are bad choices, I think Cam and Zion can get their points within the flow of the offense better than RJ though. All of em are gifted passers for their size though.

He was always a pumpkin. lol

Nah he was lookin like he had turned a corner late last year and at the very start of this year (it's still really early in the year though). Now he can't make any shots and every pass feels like it's either a pass with the intent of getting the ball right back or a turnover.

The need for a secondary creator on offense is dire. So upset that Prince turned into a pumpkin.

We're gonna be wearing these jerseys and playing on this court for 8 more games this session - mmmmm....might wanna rethink this. Not a good showing celebrating 50 years.

 

4 game road trip up coming...LAL, GSW, DEN and INDY.   What do we do? 

 

Our games where we wear these jerseys are vs really really good teams for the most part. So this is probably the first of many asswhoopings in these jerseys.

That looked like Hawks vs Cavs with all those open corner threes.

He's the best rookie PG (traditional size PG) to come into the league since Dame Lillard. His flashes are incredible, I can't wait until we grab his wing partner in crime in this next draft.

Take Zion and build the team like the Celtics have done. Lol its kinda sad how fast I got sold. I think that's most doubters though.

At least Trae kept his turnovers down tonight.

Timmy takes the Hawks not matching his contract so personally lol. He should be kissing the statefarm arena floor that we got him that contract.

The 4 second or less offense lol

Say what you want about Pierce absorbing losses but guy is not shy about using timeouts to yell at fuckups.
