This dude Herro though.  Playing with extreme confidence.  Damn near got the And 1 off of that 3.

This is what I want from Cam. To just let it loose. Stop trying to do too much. Just do you. I liked that pull up 3. I liked that take when he got the Oboard but what I didn't like was the overthinking. He is doing that too much. Just let loose. I like what Jabari just did. Let it loose. We got nothing to lose without Trae. Just cook. I want all of our players to be aggressive.

Hoo boy. Cam has a lot of growing up to do on offense. He has zero feel for the game on that end.

That's why a few games in College Park, in which he'll be the offensive focal point, may do him some good.  No need to send him there yet.  But it may be coming in a few weeks.

Nice acting by the rookie

[Spud2nique]

Tyrone Wallace looks like JJ a bit with that baby goatie.

Not horrible considering outside of Collins early we played like trash. Let’s get it in the 2nd. 

[NBASupes]

You can clown that three-point attempt by Parker but without Trae, we aren't getting any good looks v. a set defense. Just play fast, don't turn the ball over and play hard. Shots like that don't bother me when Trae's out.

Get Cam the f*** outta there. 

He's been trash today. 

Do you dislike Cam? Just wondering why so hostile. lol. Were you saying that about TRae at the start of last season? Hes a rook.

Without out Trae this looks like a 20 win team and that may be generous. It's amazing how important and effective he is for this team.

Sorry guys this one's on me. As a general rule, I never bet on Atlanta sports because every time I do some effed up stuff happens. Couldn't resist the moneyline on this one and sure enough... 

[DBac]

I mean, this is what Cam looked like at Duke (though he wasn't this bad of a shooter). Turning the ball over, struggles to drive, drifting on offense, but a nice defender.

He's been trash today. Moreso than anyone else. I tend to be harsh when guys are completely blowing coverage, doing spin moves into traffic and passing up open 12 footers to directly attack Jimmy Butler who by the scouting report is known for taking charges. Shit like this is appalling.

Cam aint going anywhere.

Problem is we have ZERO depth behind Trae. We literally don't have a legit NBA caliber backup PG on the roster and the one guy we signed who kinda could play PG happens to be hurt tonight. I said earlier on in the year that the lack of PG depth was a huge problem on par with the C situation and I stand by it more than ever.

Which is why the Hawks need another legit PG.

Trae didnt even try on defense last year, and I didnt see this much hostility..lol. WAs just curious if you hated the pick or something..Because thats when players usually get creamed when they struggle. If a fan hated the pick or whatnot..

SUPES has been one of the biggest Cam supporters on this site. Hostility may have something to do with Cam playing worse than perhaps any pro basketball player I have ever seen on the offensive end. He makes last year's November Trea look like today's Tyler Herro.
