Official Game Thread: Hawks at Bucks -- ECF GAME 2

[ATLHawks3]

Trae you played a terrible half. Don't repeat this in game 3.

[NBASupes]

We need Cam to get experience on Holiday. He's the only guy who can even half way guard Holiday.

Yeah but you can tell they are trying to go after him all of the time and they are hitting on half of their threes as well.  But one thing I see, that Hawks can crawl back in if they remember who they are.

Secondary ballhandlers have to hit shots or make plays. If the team falters every time Trae gives up the ball, they'll just focus on him.

I'm speechless.  Hawks don't even look like an NBA team right now.  I've never seen an NBA team shoot 63% in a half.  Coach Bud really has this machine running.  I remember when he was here we would always use the ball motion offense and get a lot of easy and open shots.   I know Nate let's the Hawks and Trae do their thing but the shot selection is awful.

5 assists (2 for Trae). 13 TOs (8 for Trae).

Trae is the reason why we're down by so much. 8 turnovers in a half is ridiculous 

He's not the only reason. There is a lot of reasons. The biggest reason is we are turning the ball over like crazy in the paint. That's not just Trae.

Or the second half. He'll bounce back. He always does.

Fixed. Need to see better from Trae in 2nd half of THIS GAME!

[NBASupes]

We gotta make mid range shots and we gotta stop Milwaukee on defense. It's one thing for Milwaukee to be tough on our defense but they are scoring without effort in the half court.

If we could get this game back to being respectable, I'll be ok.

And we're not getting back in transition!

What a sobering half.  I was on top of the world yesterday.  Listening to all the sports talk and all the sports talk guys gushing over Trae and lauding Nate for the job he's done.  Too many turnovers, bad shots, and bad defense. 

[terrell]

Get Cam some burn and move on to game 3...

[phoostal]

Disappointing.  I thought this team had moved on from these type of games.   Second half and game 3 will be a sign of how far this team has come.   They don't have to win but this is about being competitive which is why it is so disappointing.

[GameTime]

I hope this woke Nate up from the Solomon Hill project. No time to be cute.

We’ve been here before.  Clean up the turnovers, improve the energy, play with composure and they can….make it close

Now watch how fast that all will change tomorrow. Hopefully, the Hawks weren't listening to any of those frontrunners.

OK . . Field mob was ( -5 )

Switching rally songs . . so we can make history.

 

 

Stay aggressive Trae.  Shoot the ball.  No turnovers.

Even if you miss . . shoot.  Don't get trapped.

[MaceCase]

Naw, that body language is off.
