Oladipo was point shaving in that 1st quarter.

Good.  I got the Hawks ( -11 ) tonight.

I am starting to get concerned that Snell has not hit a 3 pointer in 2 straight games 

Worry no more, lol.

Good TO by Nate. Lazy transition defense on too many occasions.

I hate when Gallo takes that lazy foul to stop the fastbreak.

Play some defense for once.

He and Huerter do that all the time, it's so lazy and annoying.

Solomon Hill got a tech, when we're up by 17 points?

Bury him on the bench forever.

 

Another dunk by Knight

[Buzzard]

Gallinari makes shooting a 30 footer look like me throwing paper into a waste basket. No effort at all and it just goes in. 20 points in less than 14 minutes for the big guy. Knight is off to another decent game, 8 points, 1 board, and a block in 8 minutes so far.

smh . . neither Okongwu or Bruno could've made that play.

 

LP . . you fired yourself man.

Nate putting Hill out there at PF and then remembers he knows how to coach and pulls him for Knight.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

( looking for something bad . . .  aha!! )

 

58 points is still too many points to be giving up.  Need to clamp down and win this game by 20+

Trae is Steve Nash tonight... those saying we can't win unless he takes over the scoring... well if he passes the ball like this we can. Better for him to have both those options available to him because scoring comes and goes even for the most elite players in this league.

Sloppy end to the quarter

There's no excuse for it at this point. He produces every time he's given an opportunity. Play him!

After LOLomon got that tech, Nate sent him right to the bench.  Knight and Collins are interchangeable on offense, and they lose nothing on defense with Hill out.

He can pass the ball but it's still incumbent on his teammates to hit the shots.

Getting basically whatever we want on offense. Lazy effort on defense.

No . . he passes like this all the time.   His teammates just aren't making shots like this all the time. 

He's had 8 games this year in which he's scored at least 28 points and dished out at least 10 assists.  If his teammates are making shots, his assists will be high.

he's got a 10-2 assist to to ratio tonight, hasn't overdribbled or held the ball too long, taking what the defense is giving him. Of course teammates need to make shots, but when the ball is moving and everyone is touching the ball shots tend to go in at a higher rate.

Was hoping for a bigger lead at the half..Oh well..
