Official Game Thread: Timberwolves at Hawks -- the MLK Day Game!

[AHF]

Feels like we are forcing to Capela a bit.  That Young to JC to CC was good though.

[JayBirdHawk]

Is Rondo done for the day?

[Marvin24Williams]

Trae really needs to work on his turnover, goodness. So many lazy and forced passes. Just make the simple pass.

[Peoriabird]

Y'all still want to trade John???

Goodwin:  1 - 9 FG . . . mainly because he can't shoot . . and because the other guys weren't moving when he had the ball.

You mean the 3 defenders he’d drive into? Well, why would they move when Baby Durant is storming down the lane?

5 blocks for JC

Our straight line drive enablers (Trae and Kevin usual suspects) owe him a steak dinner.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

We nee to make our move in these next 4 minutes, and blow this game open.

If it's close, D'Angelo Russell becomes the most dangerous man on the floor, seeing that he's the one of two guys on the floor who can score baskets in bunches.

The other guy is Trae, who is still trying to find his way offensively with this team, if he's not shooting the ball.

 

LP might have to give him the green light to shoot, and just let the chips fall where they may.

No, but I don't want to max him. Keep in mind these are the Wolves, i'd be concerned if he didn't have a good outing.

If he wants a max yes...

[Bonkers]

Get em Dre!!!

[benhillboy]

Nice rhythm baseline jumper Dre.

John is a beast protecting the rim today.

I am hoping this is the type of game that helps LP figure out they do not have to shoot 40 threes to win a game. The Hawks frontline is getting it done. Hunter with 22, Collins with 15, and Capela with 19.

[Bonkers]

I told yall Dre is THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM!!!

 

Trae needs to take a backseat!!!

Trae is also approaching a triple double:   12 - 11 - 7

[gurpilo]

I said 5 games ago we should look for a Trae trade now that his value is still high and I still think I am right. If he is not in control of the ball and look for his shot or the assist, normally a hero one (either shot or assist) he does not know what to do, he is not moving, he is not cutting, is like he doesn’t know to play basketball. Is scary to be honest. 
 

The other thing you can do is change the coach but Travis needs to do something quick before the value of this team and specially our star goes down without control.

[Marvin24Williams]

Get your 30 Hunter

[benhillboy]

That was a bogus foul on Trae (Basketball God payback maybe) but I’m not mad he’s out.  The Wolves targeting the hell outta him defensively without Cam and he just seems hesitant on everything.  I got money on this fool.
