So true! 11 said enough was enough. Also the first time we won the season series v. SAS since when?

19 of 40 from three. That has to be our best three ball game of the year.

Yup!  The Hawks were 18-39 vs the Nuggets.

Man.  What a win.   

THIS CAM REDDISH is who I want to see consistently in the second half of the season and next season.  He is a defensive superstar. The turnovers he causes and his fouling rate is super low.  He slowed DeRozen down!  Just a great game!  So happy for him.  The kid has taken so much crap (looking at you realgm and twitter haters). 

Trae Young - Ho Hum! 31 pts on great efficiency! Just a great game!  His defensive effort was much improved. He's our SUPERSTAR!

John -  Great game battling down low.  Loving his activity on the defensive end this season.

Red Velvet - This dude has been clutch lately too.  Keep doing you Kev!

De'Andre Hunter - I think he's hit a rookie wall, but he still was tough on defense.

VC - Thanks for giving us some of that vintage VC.

Goodwin - the +/- may not look that good, but it's great to have a decent backup.

Bruno - Good game!

Everyone else good game!

Edit:  I think we are starting to see Travis Vision.  I think I'm in love with it..lol

I am so happy for Huerter!

 

 

Trae makes getting 31 points look so easy, I was so caught up in what KillaCam was doing, I failed to notice Trae had 31 points. Wow!

Me too.  He actually took over down the stretch. Those two three pointers Trae hit got us back in it quickly which was key to the win!!

Trae can score very efficiently when he has help like he got from Killa today.

[NBASupes]

Trae gets points effortlessly.

Has there ever been a more confounding player than Reddish on offense? If he can figure whatever it is that holds him back most nights dude has All Star potential no doubt about it. On Hunter: All he does is make me wish we had kept the two picks we gave up for him. Hope he can develop. And on our center situation, if we have to overpay for a Steven Adams/Drummond/Whiteside or whatever I don't care. Bring someone in ASAP. Seeing Collins play center is going to give me an ulcer, and it's no knock on Collins because I think his effort on defense is night and day compared to last year and he has battled hard, but he simply wildly out of position at center.

I think Trae, John and Kevin Hueter for that matter has spoiled us.  Rookies are rookies for a reason.  They are inconsistent.  What you hope to see is flashes during their rookie season.  Cam Reddish has flashed and so has DeAndre Hunter.  I'm not worried about either of them, but when they put it together, this team will be scary.

Honestly Trae has been pretty efficient all year. His Ts% has been around 59% which is exceptionally good for someone his size. His 3pt % at 37% with extremely high volume and his great free throw rate keep him scoring at a great pace even when his floater is not dropping. 

[marco102]

I'm going to say it @NBASupes.  Cam Reddish was the best player on the floor tonight when you consider offensive and defensive impact!  The last few games he hasn't seem as out of control and the game seems to be slowing down for him.  Could Cam have a second half surge similar to Trae's? He's off to a pretty good start!

He's an inconsistent rookie that had offseason surgery. Rookies develop at different rates.

Let's party like it is 1997!

I will be 62 this year. Seriously, I am good with the 20 year difference if she is.

His numbers at Duke were also abysmal. Dude has been a mystery for a while now. Honestly never seen a guy put up such miserable production overall but every once in a while look like a better version of Paul George.
