Nice half overall for us! Pay John Collins ($100 mill at least). We are playing good for the most part with pace, we definitely belong on the court and then some.

[JayBirdHawk]

I'm not loving the pace of this game.  Makes me uncomfortable.

The bad habit of playing to the level of competition is still there. The defensive intensity went way down after Lebron went out for good. They also started settling for threes on offense.

Nate will address that at halftime, he’s not Lloyd.

They came out focused after Nate called the TO with ~3 minutes to go.

Wait we just beat 7 bad teams in a row!  Explain!

Outside of JC who went 8-11, the rest of team was 14-42. Thats gotta change in the 2nd half or they won't see their 8th win in March.

Trae being a facilitator first plays right into our opponents hands, because Trae is the one that creates 50+ points per game via shots, FTs, and assists.

So far in this game, he only has 7 shots, and a lot of those came in the last 4 minutes.

He has 6 assists with 14 points scored off of those assists, which is great. 

But he has ZERO FT attempts.

So he's only created 21 points.   If he duplicates that type of point creation in the 2nd half, we'll lose by 4 or so points, unless this team picks it up big time defensively.

We need a scoring outburst from him in the 2nd half.

No Queen for the 2nd half! Nate get on them to play hard. COMON WE GOT THIS LEBROH OUTTIE 3000!

Stop being agenda driven Noth, our win streak with Trae’s number prove you..not right.  

[Peoriabird]

[hawkman]

Nate may have to sub out Cap.

Would you be happy if you are wrong and we win? F the ego, it only hurts.

Vince is saying the same, need Trae to get going downhill.
