Let's hear from the Trae haters!

Great game from Trae..Hope he keeps it up..

[Peoriabird]

Wonder what the Indy fans think of Nate now.  Pulled that off without 3 starters on the road back to back.  LP has never done that! And will never do that ever!

Tony Snell was clutch.

Low key our best off-season signing

4 and 1. Nate has twice as many wins as LP had all last month...

LP was 2 and 11 in his last 13. Shameful.

LP was honestly one of the worst coaches of All Time in the NBA

 

And that's not hyperbole

He plays so much more under control and Dare i say "The Right way" under Nate

We kinda have a big problem when Cam gets healthy.

Snell CAN'T go back to the bench.  You almost have to start him, even if you reduce his minutes.  His defense isn't as good as Cam's, but his shooting is 10x better, and he doesn't make mistakes.  He's the type of knockdown shooter that Trae needs to pass to.

Bogi and Huerter are going to play.  So i guess Cam takes Solo's minutes?

And when Hunter comes back, the minutes get even shorter for the wings.

 

But never mind all of that. 

WE just won 2 games in a row.

Was that enough offense for you guys since y'all were falling asleep watching the Miami game.

And we needed every single one of those 3 pointers from just under 6 minutes to 3 minutes. Every single shot we took in that span was a 3 pointer - we made 5-6 (I think).

Pels and Wolves let me down tonight..smh..Im always rooting against every other East team..lol. Chicago and Charlotte won..Dammit..

Good problem to have.  Don't underestimate the coaching change effect on Cam. He felt like LP picked on him and he's obviously an emotional player.  I see good things from Cam going forward.

[terrell]

Trae 8 assists to 2 turnovers..Excellent..Attaboy!!

Let's worry about that when we get to it and let's hope we get EVERYONE back at the same time for some portion of this season.

The move of the night for Nate was he switched Snell to MCW, he was killing Trae.  Trae moved over to cover Bacon.

[gHost83]

Snell shooting a flaming 55% from 3 on the year.

[Peoriabird]

Nate is like Injuries? No problem!

[JayBirdHawk]

Get stops, make shots, grab defensive rebounds - check, check and check

add in the 3-4 tonight that's a cool +60%

Can we take a minute to discuss Gallo's effort on D tonight and even last night? Nate getting the best out of him. 

[Buzzard]

Best win of the season in my opinion. Gallinari and Snell earning their paydays. Trae is back to being Trae.

[benhillboy]

Damn the Magic went 27-27 from the line.  Luckily we’ve been excellent this season at the line (18-19 tonight). I’ll take 26 assists to 12 turns all and every day.

23/9/6 for Gallo and some defensive praise from Coach Nate Dogg okay I see your creaky leg a$$.

Gallo actually tried to play defense - all about giving some effort.  He had some timely poke aways.
