Vince Carter:  " Cam has been inconsistent but Cam is playing freer because of this opportunity".    Exactly what I harped on yesterday.

 

Cam has been playing free all year.   Cam is 3rd on the team in FGA per 36 minutes ( 15.2 FGA ).  The only players higher than Cam are Trae ( 21.7 FGA ) and Lou ( 16.6 FGA ).

What Nate needs to do is reduce Lou's minutes, seeing that he's only shooting 39% FG and 34% 3FG.  Or at least tell Lou to be more of a secondary scoring option.  This would free up Cam to do even more with the 2nd unit.

He's in a groove right now.  Attacking and shooting the deep ball well.

Scam Reddish is a monstar. 

[hawkman]

Cam has superstar potential man. 

[Iverwig]

Cam can be a beast when he is confident. 

[Hawkmoor]

Cam!

[marco102]

Killa CAM! You love to see it. Not settling and attacking.

[MaceCase]

Hey, Cam.  I think the record in MSG for points is like 63, you know, if you’re interested.

He was talking in pre-game like he was going to have a monster game.  Right now, he and Capela are the biggest liabilities on the floor.

Clint stamina looks bad

[kg01]

Hate that Collins was mic'd up saying he was gonna be in beast mode.  Then comes out with a bad 1st half.

[Q45T]

Damn didn’t know Okongwu had covid.

[NBASupes]

JC always gets washed by Randle. Without Hunter,  Okongwu, or Gallo, Randle kills us.

Hawks have only 2 TOs, but is down by 10.

Why?

• Starters can't create offense for each other ( 3 assists between the starting 5 . . . Dieng has 5 assists by the way )
• Knicks making open and contested 3s
• Hawks not scoring in the paint ( Capela and Collins 1 - 11 FG . . for a total of 3 pts )

Just spam Cam possessions. Noone else besides him and Skylar can get to the lane.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bogi bailed out Delon on that fast break with the 3.  Throw that thing up to Cam for the easy dunk.   That was a 3 on 1 break.

Lazy Capela . . tried to take a foul, but didn't foul him hard enough and gave up a layup.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

They went from having a chance to cut this to a  point lead, to being right back down by 9 in a blink of an eye.

3 pt lead
