Hawks came out like they thought this would be an easy game... which is mind boggling. Drummond + Thompson is a terrible matchup for the garbage we call our defensive frontcourt. 

I was worried coming in mainly cause we suck v. Both bigs. But what's killing us is dribble penetration.

Trae is last in DRPM. He deserves it

It’s possible to hide him.  Next to freaking Danny Green Andre Robeson Giannis and Gobert lol.

John was such a high value pick but I’ve come to the realization as well that if you’re building around Trae he gotta slide.  He’s gotta be sandwiched between tough vets at the 3 and 5.

Thompson has 18 points and Drummond has 11 rebounds and all we talk about is Trae's defense?

Ugh have u not seen us talk about JC and Sir Render's terrible defense as well????

Why would John be responsible for either of those guys?

I mentioned Drummond and Thompson and you mentioned John Collins

(( hitting chest ))

My bad y'all.  I took a nap right before tip-off, and didn't wake up until like 40 seconds to go in the 1st half.  I see we're down by 17, with the Cavs getting just about anything they wanted, according to the box scores.  Looks like their bigs > our bigs.

But I'm here now.  Let's make this comeback.

44pts in the paint just in the first half! Man that is just ridiculous!

I'm clearly saying that we haven't ONLY been talking about Trae's bad defense, we've been talking about John and Kevin's bad D too

And cavs only avg 48 pts in the paint per  game 

[benhillboy]

Even Hunters misses from three looking good.

Ded gonna have to play softer than he’d like on defense to preserve them fouls.  We gotta have his screening and shooting.  As I type he picks up his 4th.  Great

[TheNorthCydeRises]

What's wrong with Sexton's face?

[benhillboy]

Ded getting pissed.  Guards not blocking out is mostly coaching tho.

Oh . . no wonder why we're losing.  Stinger is in the play by play chair and not Dominique.

[Peoriabird]

Huerter can't stay in front of anybody!

[Marvin24Williams]

UNLEASH THE BEMBRY!!!

[Bonkers]

Man everybody Sir Render guards cooks him lmaoooo

Singling Trae out for bad defense is a scapegoat for the fact that everyone was getting beat by their man out there. Their 6-2 guards were posting our 6-7 wings and swishing layups like nobody was even on them. That’s a shame

They all suck besides the rookies and DEdmon..
