And I'll say this...I am sick of how little credit Trae gets for what he is doing and how the media tries to dismiss it.  Putting up the numbers he's putting up while facing double teams consistently every night because the rest of the roster is sooo baaaadddd is astonishing.  I don't want to hear about the record...Trae Young deserves to be in the All Star game if he continues this level of play.

Trae defense is ass and there are too many times he gets tunnel vision on a mission to score 50. Trae might be statistically an all star but his PG skills were better at the end of last year than this year. He is playing too much hero ball for my liking. That said, he is a beast and his amazingness is just normal and expected at this point

Lol, if it wasn't already the plan for next season, it has got to be the plan now.  No more rosters with wings who can't shoot or defend, no backup point guard and bigs who can't defend or rebound.  And the Collins situation definitely hurt big time.

I was never a fan of the Turner at PG experiment.

The trio of Turner, Crabbe and Parsons I've always viewed them as just passing thru for this year. 

Jones is 7 feet and can't rebound - how you that tall and useless as a rebounder. At least he's showing something as a roll man.

Len was the biggest unexpected disappointment- I thought he'd be at least be able to be what he showed last season, even a little improved.

Can't we morph the best of Jones and Len? I'm gonna research 'Morphing Limited basketball players into one good player for Dummies'

Mission for Trae: A 20 assist game.

I wonder how many assists he's missing out on from all the bricks, missed bunnies etc.

Quite a few I'm sure. Jones wiffs on at least 2 lobs a game, and Len fumbles at least 2 passes a game.

He has a better chance at Kobe’s 81 with this roster.

That is being modest.

I should also add, that I wasn't able to go to the GA game to watch Ant Man live. I did catch some of his game before the Hawks game.  Let me tell you folks, that Kid is special. He won't get the Zion hype, but the Hawks need to do everything in their power to get him on this team.  He's only been playing basketball seriously for five years and he has the potential to be dominANT on both ends of the floor.

There, fixed it for you!!!

And for the record, I'm all on the Ant Man train! Special player!!!

A season high 27 points for Garrett Temple. How does that happen?

Trae - we tried hiding Trae on him, but Nets sniffed it out.

Whoever Trae was on went into abuse mode.

Cams finishes were a thing of beauty. He was attacking the rim with purpose and finishing with buttery smooth touch. Loved it.

a Jones travel cost him an assist. Jones played great on the roll otherwise. he is good offensively but needs a lot of work defensively especially D rebounding.

  Think Temple was only shooting 34% from 3 point range before tonight's game.   I would rather Temple get his than to have Trae trying to guard Dinwiddie and he go off for 38 or 40pts.

F*ck that bullsh*t.  Mother f*ck that bullsh*t.

How many times they've had the PeliCant's, _arriors, Knicks, Bullets, Blllazers, and other crap arse teams on?  And, all of a sudden, they discover the flex option when it's time for us to be on?

R u kidding me?!

Congrats to MIA for having a nice season and all but y'all ain't no contenders or nothin'.  Have fun once your rookies hit the wall and Jimi starts gettin on everybody's nerves (again).  Why don't y'all figure out who gave Waiters them weed gummies?

Just wait til we get back to fill strength.  The hawks finna show y'all chumps.
