16 points - 13 assists from Trae.

3 - 8 FG

8 - 9 FT

Is this how ya'll want him to play?

I know the Hawks are trying to rein him in a little, but I'd rather have last season's Trae with better shot selection and fewer turnovers. I feel like Trae and Collins are struggling to adjust right now.

Pad em up, Trae! Miss the second and get a rebound.

[Marvin24Williams]

Lol at how hard Trae runs when he has a chance to pad his stats at the end of games

You forgot the ungodly TOs - don't want that.  I also don't want Trae afraid to shoot when he is open, he had a couple midrange shots that he passed up.

This is the ugliest game I’ve ever seen

I do love having a guy who is automatic at the line to close out games.

[Bonkers]

Russell shoulda gotten smacked for that

Clearly Trae is not at his best right now, but its more astounding how everyone is so quick to pile on the young man. He will clean it up

Amazing that we would leave Russell or Beasley open.

Listening to Vince Carter diagnose that Russell open 3 - is enjoyable.

[MaceCase]

I love DLo’s petty.

[EazyRoc]

Something about our team chemistry is off. JC isn’t a near 20 ppg scorer anymore. Turnovers are crazy. Promote Nate McMillan ?

[lethalweapon3]

D;Angelo testing our commitment to non-violence lol

 

Hawks Win!

That was the most physical play Russell made all game.  He’s a character for sure.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

I'm glad Hunter didn't lose his cool with Russell acting like a damn idiot on that final possession.

[Marvin24Williams]

The Timberwolves have resorted to thuggery!!!

[Cwell]

Collins looked at Russell like "really bruh?" lol

[bleachkit]

Took us everything we had to beat a no KAT Minny. We aren't playing well right now.

Client Capela is looking like an Allstar center.
