Northcyde we don’t need Trae to score 30, we just need to play smart, hustle and D up. 

Until the Hawks start to consistently win with Trae just playing smart, hustling, and D'ing up, we need his 30 points.

Why are some of you so against Trae being an offensive superstar?  Especially when you know that when he's on his game, the Hawks hardly ever lose?

The logic makes no sense.

[Vol4ever]

Hawks would be stupid to lose Collins.

I’m loving John defensively right now.  Solid box outs, recovering quickly after showing, active arms.

Super human workload. I’d rather him have some left in the tank for the playoffs. Also, he’s the best passer in the NBA, why  not utilize that aspect of his game to further benefit the rest of our guys?

[Spud2nique]

Ok i wanna see some more Rondo and medium O! We are having a ton of fun right now, good stuff.

[Peoriabird]

Keep going inside Hawks!

Not tonight. I think we can all see Rondo is on more tonight that Trae and the offense looked pretty good with Rondo running it. Some nights you gotta defer.

I feel like you are taking it personally vs objectively. We are on the same team, you don’t NEED to be right as long as the Hawks are doing well that’s all that matters.

[hawkman]

Let Trae cook. He's feeling it.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

And you know why Trae took that last long 3?

Because right before they went to break, he hit that same shot.   If he explodes for 8 - 12 points to close this quarter, his scoring will end this game.

 

Then he takes another one.

RESPECT THE SUPERSTAR.

One reason is because his passing doesn't usually equate to winning because the teammates don't consistently score the ball enough to offset what Trae doesn't give offensively. 

Trae scoring 30 and getting 8 ast is a better formula to produce a Hawks win right now than Trae scoring 15 and logging 12 ast (and other 8 would be asts)

Nah, I think you’re reading into it too much. Trae will get his but he needs to get his mates going too. His teammates look good tonight.

Your opinion on this is not objective though.  When Trae scores at a high rate, this team is damn near elite.  Why do you not want Trae to be elite?  Why do you simply want him to be "one of the guys"?   JJ at times, was just "one of the guys", and got absolutely got killed for his inability to be elite at times.

Trae has that juice.

Respect the superstar.

 Trae 3!

I do, but I still think he should spread it too.

Hawks can end this in the 3rd.

what is wrong with Snell, with these drives for 2 points, LOL.

[Marvin24Williams]

What an awesome turn around. Game started off with that "same old Hawks" vibe 

[aali34]

Damn the Kings defense evaporated.
