Trae is the worst defender in the NBA.

I’m not sure you can maintain a good defense with him on the team.

Trae Iverson and Scary Chuckie Finster

Welp! Just too big of a hole to dig out from.

Evan Turner was supposed to be the guy to keep Trae from being Doctor Too Little against these bigger guards, but here we are. Indy also got much better bench support this go-round.

Still coulda grabbed this W if Trae's early floater/push-shot game was on, and especially if they had more positive production out of Huerter and Reddish from the jump. Too many TOs at crucial junctures from those two.

Another One to Grow On!

 

Go Hawks!

Played elite defense and his playmaking was really good. To be honest, he barely shot the ball in the 2nd half. He went to the FT line, made a wide open 3 and missed a heavily contested layup in traffic.

We've had 2 years of lottery selections, that's the start of the rebuild. 

Contrary to popular opinion, we are still rebuilding.

This team is not much fun to watch. At least last year we were entertaining.

That's only true if you think the rebuild is over, it isn't.

I am not saying Dedmon is the difference maker but having him on the floor for 25 minutes makes a big difference and the Hawks suffering from the same thing the Bulls did last year. Parker defense makes it so hard for us. You already got Trae who does as well but at least Trae on most nights offensively is a monster. 

Parker is a better offensive scorer than Collins but that's where it ends. Parker and 6th man can't happen any sooner.

You don’t have a chance with Schlenk as a GM. If things are bad at the top, it’s probably going to stay bad everywhere else.

I don’t know why this team always has the worst GM’s.

[JayBirdHawk]

Wait wait wait.....No Bembry for 2 games in a row?  .  Is he on the trade block?

Or is LP scapegoating him for his own error in the Heat game by forgetting to sub him back out?

Which teams that have gutted their teams and started over from lottery scratch are good the 2nd year?

John Collins helped with the excitement.

Bembry has been more or less out of the rotation since the Hornets game.

He is really, really bad. 

But he is not the reason why this team doesn't have good defense. Our bigs don't do a good job of contesting shots. The amount of times the Pacers got to the paint without a contest from our bigs was ridiculous (f***ing Jabari). And when they are there, the contest is really weak. Our defensive rebounding is atrocious. Trae could be the Glove and our defense would be bad (obviously better than it is, but still bad) right now.
