Renee Montgomery is so good with her analysis.  Much better than Stinger, Jerome and anybody on the Hawks broadcast ( outside of maybe Vince Carter ).

She understands that Trae needs to ball out, in order for the team to win.

 

Once again, LP's answer to that question is unacceptable.  Find a way to get your damn stars the ball, and encourage them to shoot the ball.

Her analysis is no match for Dominique's. Dominique knows exactly when to say "heat check" or "that's a bad shot."

Cam trying real hard to be the new Josh Smith.  If we had fans right now I bet the groans would start coming back. 

Josh was far more productive than this. He just didn't have the upside to be a lot more than what he was. Ya'll do realize Smoove never shot on volume and he had those Giannis threes where he's WIDE WIDE OPEN. Cam hasn't gotten those just yet. As bad as those shots were, it wasn't 50%+ of his shots.

that point about the screens....yeah. I hate seeing us die on screens on defense and then watch Collins on the other end not even make contact with the defender. that fake like i'm gonna screen and then slip to the rim thing is so trash. Atleast mix it up. He slips every screen

When it's Trae with the ball, he slips every single one of them.  But he will hold the screen for everyone else, because he knows he's not getting the ball on a lob.

Then that is more specific to the play call, no?  Same thing with Capela.

Noel and Randle was blowing up the f*** outta the alley oop. Let's be real about it.

Get prepared for a 10 game losing streak. If we are lucky, we will beat the Cavs. Otherwise this is going to be tough.

Same as last season. Start off hart, then pretty much downhill from there. smh

This feels like last year's team, except with Capela, and Trae not playing quite as well. 

[JayBirdHawk]

 

 

Just saying.

If Trae was playing and shooting like last year, we would be in the playoffs right now. He was legit good. 

[bleachkit]

Another thing about Kevin. Even though he's a good three point shooter, he's not capable of going off. He's never had a game where he went like 8-12 from three.

I love listening to her - always on point!

That was such an LP non-answer.  Even if teams know it's going to be Trae or John at least involve them in the action to force the defense to move, then  if it ends up with a play for someone else then ok....but you don't abandon them totally. That makes no sense.

 Getting tired of LP..

And the same arena went crazy when they drafted him.....lol

Maybe just maybe, us not being in the bubble messed us up. Trae and Cam shooting has massively declined. Kevin can't hit shit consistently. We brick a lot of floaters. We are soft. UGH! Where are we?

Even though his numbers aren't that much different. There just seem to less moments where he's just cooking like last year.

Luka Doncic is the master of it. Just plays at his speed, never lets guys speed him up. 

Please dont mention him right now..smh

[NBASupes]

I know the logic, we brought in Rondo to be a leader, but we need a real leader. Maybe we should bring in Paul Millsap this offseason if JC is gone. 

[NBASupes]

If we trade JC for a lottery pick. We need to trade Rondo to LAC, P.J. Tucker to ATL, Lou Williams to HOU.

Cam is the new Josh Jackson, not Smith..Needs to be in the G-league for a while..
