Eggsactly.  I don't get that.

I guess because they wanted him in the draft and felt a slap in the face as their team drafted then traded him. I'm a fan of Trae Young, but I understand why people feel that way (remembering wanting Chris Paul over Marvin for example).

Because they wanted Doncic not Trae.

Pierce may have to take a chance and put Trae back into this game.  The game will be over if he waits until the 2nd half to put him back in.   No playmakers in the offense to get people easy shots, so every one is going one on one.

 

I don't envy Pierce in this position. We do need Trae, but it looks like the refs are determined to keep him in foul trouble.

Its like they want us to look like the loser of the trade. Knowing good and damn well rookies are gonna have bad nights.

Why is Bembry getting so much playing time? Tank commander?

Trae has 3 fouls and Lin has been useless.

Foul trouble, mayne.

LOL @ the ref giving Dedmon a T.  I guess he cussed at him.   smh.

B*tch-arse ref needs to T up Matthews for complaining too.

Bembry hasn't had one impactful moment all game. I'd rather see Lin or Kevin.

Baze playing a Josh Smith like game, when Josh tried to do everything . . . regardless of the success rate.

Geez, stop talking about the 60 win season.  That was 4 lifetimes ago.

Kinda sad that I was thinking this was actually one of Baze's better games so far.

[kg01]

Good effort ... janky but good effort.

[Vol4ever]

We need Trae in but 3 darn fouls

[EazyRoc]

Coincidentally, I’m just tuning into the game and missed Traes poor 1st and Lukas great 1st.

[hawkman]

Just get it under 10 before the half.

[RWF]

Bembry tossed that to no one. Good thing Baze was there to chase it down.

Because they wanted Doncic not Trae.

I think it is more about the rush of Hawks fans to crap on Doncic after we traded him.  Sothron's comment that people don't need to go out of their way to crap on him just because we traded him.  A minority of posters here went out of their way to crap on him.

Personally, still hoping Trae returns to lead this comeback and swing the momentum in this game.  It is close enough for us to pull it back.
