Trae with 10 assist in the 1st half.  Trae should average 14 assist per game this season!

I know but he has so many options if he focuses on running the offense rather than taking those out of rhythm long 3's out of no where

Yeah I don't want Trae to play Luka/Harden ball when he doesn't have to. He has capable secondary creators on this team that he should trust to make plays. I'll be fine with 10 as well.

[JayBirdHawk]

Starters except Cap.

[ATLHawks3]

Collins cannot attack close outs effectively. That's the next step for him on offense.

[Peoriabird]

Hawks starting to get out worked again!!

I would like for him to have a pull up from midrange on a close out - he doesn't always have to try to force it inside.

[terrell]

Gotta get Bogi and Colllins going...

Gorgui has active hands.

[RandomFan]

Anyone else thinking practicing against Cooper's peskiness on D looks like it's rubbing off on Trae? He looks a lot more active and engaged on that end.

Good baseline pass from JC.

I think we're seeing the impact of the playoff experience, maybe?

The year is 2030.  The Hawks are tied up in their 8th straight finals against the Mavericks, Trae brake checks Luka and is fouled with 0:00.1 on the clock.  He makes the free throw, the home crowd ignites.  High fives all around, 5x DPOY Cam Reddish is all smiles, the jumbotron shows Solomon Hill tearing up on front row, emotional for the team he provided Hi-Cs and Dunkaroos for the past decade.  The roaring crowd quiets in a moment of silence for what Schlenk, Nate, and Trae have orchestrated for 8 straight years.  Trae steps up to take his last free throw - a mere formality at this point - takes two dribbles, looks up to the rim, and a faint shout from the nose bleeds comes through clearly to the broadcast, it's Peoriabird... "I TOLD YOU GUYS ABOUT LLOYD PIERCE!!!!!"

[JayBirdHawk]

Time to take out the starters, please Nate.

Actually the Heat are out rebounding the Hawks for the game.

And now it's time to nitpick Bogi because he hasn't scored eleventybillion points yet, so clearly it's time to trade him for a bag of Doritos and some Boone's Farm.

Super star Cam is back!
