I've said several times Trae reminds me of AI

Watch the tape, their motions/movements/style/heart are similar.

Whiteside stepped on Trae's foot on purpose. How is that not flagrant?

Always hated him, NEVER was one of the ones wanting him on the Hawks.

I'm shocked Nique and Bob had nothing to say about it. It was a dirty play.

Somebody give me a Pick 3 number to play.  I need to hit a little something for my trip next week

That fails my eye test, and why I'm not the biggest fan of that stat. Jab's been awesome...

[hazer]

Stots brangz back some mammories, no? Meh ones...

[terrell]

Hawks are competing at least. I wish we could still shoot though. lol

[AHF]

We are within striking distance if we can hit the broad side of a barn.  (Not sure we can tonight.)

[NBASupes]

I remember the first question someone asked coach before the season is where is the shooting going to come from? The question has yet to be answered.

POR peaked last year.  All downhill from here.

AI was undisciplined as a defender, a mediocre passer, and a poor jump shooter.  The only resemblance I see is their ability to handle them ball and get the opposition off balance.  Definitely hope Trae finishes this season beyond AI’s peak ability to play off the ball.  

AI was obviously also not interested in practice and wanted the offense to be all about him.  I wasn’t a big fan.  Can’t deny his heart during games, though.  He left it on the floor.

Jab!

[Lurker]

Young isn't hitting shots but has been a walking foul so far.

Everyone needs to get better but Huert and Crabbe represent the quickest additions to where we started the season.  Was hoping Kevin was going to use last game as a springboard.

Get Jones outta the game.  Please! 

... Please?

While Kev is ass as a starter, our offense flows better with him than Cam even if our defense is busura with him. Our bench unit are lockdown defenders and now we can shut people down with Cam as Kev is in the starting lineup.

You're not seeing the similarity in motion/shooting/aggression though? Not talking about those other things we can agree on...

[Lurker]

Trae starting to warm up now.

[Bonkers]

Trae!!!!
