Yep the energy level went down when Lebron went out. No killer instinct. 

This is frustrating.  Looks who's on the floor.  No reason to be slogging right now.

Gallo has no vision...missed a wide open Collins underneath

[REHawksFan]

A lot of bricks out there.

[Peoriabird]

Finally Gallo makes a pass

How is that a continuation foul?

we need some energy.

Nate didn't give Knight extended minutes.  He's brought the energy in the few games he's received extended minutes.

The other thing would be to get Trae going.  Only 2 shots in the game so far.   

His scoring makes a huge difference.

[hawkman]

Good timeout Nate.

Have you been hacked?  No Bruno reference?  I'm disappointed.

Bruno is done for the season, barring major foul trouble or a nagging injury to both Collins and Capela.   He barely got scrub time vs OKC in a blowout.

When the team was losing and getting killed defensively with Collins + Gallo playing, it was easy to call for Bruno, Okongwu and others to play.   Now that Nate has at least solved that issue, you won't see Bruno at all, and maybe only spot minutes for Okongwu and Knight.

The focus now should be to get Solo out of this rotation, and somehow have Knight take his minutes at the 4.

[JayBirdHawk]

we should be up.
