Official Game Thread: Hornets "at" Hawks

[bleachkit]

We need Rondo and Gallo back so bad. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LaMelo on pace for a triple double.

If he gets that against us . . . oh man.

[NBASupes]

I wish Rondo was available. We need someone who can get Bogi and Cam going running offensive sets.

[Atlantaholic]

Trae Young must be shaving points out there. It looks like he is doing some things on purpose. No one can be this bad without trying.

Nobody looks good but the rest of the guys look like the Harlem globetrotters crossed with the 97 Bulls compared to Trae Young. 

And he's supposed to be our "star" player..

[klharper]

We’re lucky to be down only 19 at the half.  Could easily be 30.

 

They have 9 steals (10 TOs on us) and 5 block.  We have 1 steal (2 TOs on them) and 1 block.  We’re down 12 possessions before you even talk about how off we are shooting.

 

Hope we see a drastically different team after the half.  First time we’ve been down at the half - this is a test to see if LP has the keys to turn things around.

He's not supposed to be. He IS the superstar for the Hawks. And he looks completely disinterested in playing the game right now. No idea why.

But he signed them knowing they were older and injury prone..

He was camping out next to Collins instead of covering his man in the corner and JC was trying to push him off.   I think he’s hunting rebounds, thinking he could still get a triple double easily in games where his shot is off, or something.

The biggest issue right now is we are in our heads offensively. Trae, Cam, Kevin, and Bogi need to be more aggressive at getting quality looks and Cam just needs to shoot them with more confidence. The last 6 min Cam was much better than the 1st QT Cam. 

Defensively, we gave up way too many 2nd chance points, especially when Solo was on the court. We just need to play much better and lock in defensively possession by possession.

Did his girl break up with him or something?

He's playing like an idiot.

Rich Paul is probably in his head, "Atlanta doesn't respect your greatness Trae, force a trade."

Cam needs to use his midrange to get his shot back, he's good at the drive and pull up shots...it's when he tries to get to the rim it ends in disaster.  I would also like to see more backdoor cuts for Cam.
