[Buzzard]

Trae Young dribbles the length of the floor and the red sea at MSG parts.

We gotta play Trae Ball. That's what they forcing us to do. They don't want Bogi to go off or any wing outside of Hunter who they realize isn't in complete game shape yet

They aren't forcing anything.  Bogi and Gallo are missing shots they were making during the regular season.

Barkley is about as smart as a bag of hammers. 

Governor of Bama don't you know.

Good block though.

[MaceCase]

Go nuclear, Trae.

Randle crossed himself over

[NBASupes]

Don't give Collins no max

[Dnice]

Good grief. 

[GameTime]

They aren't giving Trae any calls.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Maybe that will wake Bogi up.

The way to get him back, is to start raining 3s in their eye.

 

But I think the hero in the next 10 minutes of gameplay . . may be Kevin Huerter.

[MaceCase]

Aight, if Bogi’s confidence wasn’t abysmal already......

[ATLHawks3]

Lol this is war. The refs are now starting to swallow the whistles against us. That was an obvious foul that Trae tried to draw.

[Hawkmoor]

Don't let Spike Lee celebrate a win.  Come on Bogi, Collins, Hunter, yall got to help Trae.

[NBASupes]

We gotta play smart each possession. Something we aren't doing right now. 

[Carmine]

Huerter is the shooter we need right now. Gallo & Bogi selling

[Dnice]

I hope big wakes up, get some 2s.

They aren't calling nothing for us but the Knicks getting every whistle.

He's found John Collins for about 3 of his baskets, including a few threes.

Bogi and Gallo are 0 - 8 from 3.

Capela is seeing the lane being packed, to prevent the pick and roll.

 

What should Trae do?

Trae has played a very good game.  Its the deep threes that he takes that break the Hawks momentum at times.  But so far, he ISN'T the problem. Bogi, Collins and Hunter haven't shown up.  If they don't make shots, it encourages Trae to take bad shots.

Agree.  Huerter came out ready to play.  Bogi and Danilo aren’t hitting right now.
