I am seeing him bang. It's wearing him out. He only have three foul outs in his career and two just this year. He can't bang. 

Dude is a walking turnover machine. lol. 6th man spot shooter at best imo..

I blame Prince for this loss. This game was lost in the 3rd quarter because of him. 

[NBASupes]

Terrible game. Trae did well. But this team is horrible.

We agree with the walking turnover part. If he is playing like this, he is terrible

But Ive never ,like him so Im biased. lol. Im no flip flopper. I just dont see it with him...Hes no young Demarre Carroll. That comparison was laughable imo..And he was a lottery pick..

I’ve always been indifferent on Prince.  He’ll be back to shooting lights out in a week or two.  To expect him to really effect the game outside of that is unfounded.  Hell Kevin Huerter and Dorsey need some of them minutes, let alone Bembry.  Prince has always ran like he’s injured.

These so called vets on the team are killing us with this hero ball. Put their azzez on the bench.  If we lose let your rooks get some burn, not the tired vets.

Pierce needs some of the blame for this too.  Having this team play super fast and jack up 3s 50% of the time, is not a good look for them. Too man streak shooters on this team. 

My fear is that they would become those late 1980s - early 1990s Denver Nuggets teams, that would just run and try to score, without playing a lick of defense.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Wow . . . they're about to give up 75 points in this half.  I think this will be the 4th time this season that we've given up 70 points or more in a half.

[benhillboy]

To quote the thread title, “I like Huerter.”

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hawks lose by 22 . . . despite shooting 52% FG and 40% 3FG

Oh . . . they also had 22 turnovers ( Baze + Prince had 9 of them )

I keep saying this.  Prince and Baze are playing hero ball a lot...they are krptonite.  

[BudBall]

Taurean's mentor (Bazemore) with 5 TOs as well.. 

[benhillboy]

On the very dimly lit side, chances to acquire that pick just got better eh?

They can barely play offense either 

Honestly, if you slowed the pace, we are the worst team in the NBA on offense.

'Twas a rough night for Princemore: 1-for-9 on threes, 11 of the Hawks' 29 fouls, 9 of ATL's 22 player turnovers, 2 steals in 54 (combined) minutes.

I hope Korver goes to GS, so he can get a ring...

[NBASupes]

Bazemore for J.R. Smith damnit

Kentean Princemore.

Great game thread lw3! Actually read it now after watching the game. Tough game. Kentean definitely a tough night but I will say roles will change when Collins returns, who by the way seems like a cool cat with Nique and Bob in the booth. Once he comes back, Prince will relax and excel and Baze, well he will still run around like a headless chicken ?. Lol. I’m not gonna lie everything won’t be peachy, there’ll be ups n downs but let’s stay patient. 

 

GO HAWKS!!!

ps Shoutout to Len on a crazy 9/9fg night as well as the rooks..Huerter is sick ?..Spell is a badass and baby ? Trae is ours!!!! Lots to celebrate folks. Some of Trae’s moves are straight money ?
