It's getting old.  We just don't care about playing defense at all.  You would think our 16-19 record would get their heads straight but it doesn't.

We need to work on building a pure defensive team around Trae.  I'm convinced we would be a top 5 offense regardless of who you play with him as long as they can shoot, he is that elite on O.  But, this defense we are playing is just embarrassing.  

 

Been saying it..If you cant play perimeter defense or protect the rim,  you shouldnt be on a team with Trae..

Trash. Can we just face guard these guys. Get up in to the offensive player and make them uncomfortable. They are getting everywhere and everything they want out there.

[terrell]

Iwundu played great defesne and of course he'll get a D-N-P tonight.. Just damn with this team..

[gHost83]

Missing Cam big time

[RedDawg#8]

We bout to give up 70 first half points. Trash ass defensive effort.

Clint loves giving me aneurysms 

[terrell]

Make a trade Travis...Im losing interest...

[JTB]

We need to just go to a zone defense.

last week I watched the cavs broadcast and the announcer said during the game “Hawks playing heavy zone defense because they can’t defend straight up”

BINGO. We should just be playing zone full time at this point and switching when need be.

And Nate is a defensive minded coach..............lol

[Atlantaholic]

We really about to give up 70 first half points to Portland's b team.

[JTB]

When hunter and cam return schlenk should force McMillan to start those two just to see if it changes our luck with defense.

[terrell]

Can someone help Trae out please? You Cant go for 50 and lose the game....

Overall for his coaching career yes. For ATL to be determined.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Nique talking crap about the Blazers not guarding.

Guess who else doesn't guard . . Nique?

[MaceCase]

Insane output so far by Trae

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae is locked in tonight . . . but the team can't stop anybody.

[kg01]

It's funny how teams try to defend Trae by upping the physicality.  But then get frustrated they get called for more fouls.

[hawkman]

Trae is a LETHAL scorer. That is all.

[kg01]

Oh mercy!

Now can we stop some dang body?

Trae ATL goat
