Official Game Thread: Hunk-o'-Hawks at Lakers

[RedDawg#8]

We have to play better defense.

Bradley is hot out of the gates, they need to pay attention to that. Don't let him pull a Simons on you.

We're on pace to give up 35+ in the first quarter. Cannot have that BS tonight 

[Peoriabird]

No defense Hawks except against self-check Westbrook

You're under nuclear attack Trae.  What you gonna do about it?

Bradley is going to D you up, and go right at you.

 

Damn I wish Collins could've gotten that dunk to go.  He got another chance though.

He better take this personally. Nowhere to hide. He's allowing Bradley to carry the Lakers offensively and that's unacceptable. Bradley does NOT have a huge physical advantage over Trae and is not a scorer. Play some dang defense!

No excuses. Traes defense is the reason the Lakers have this lead.

He gets his @ss cooked EVERY game

The assistants are a lot worse than last year 

Trae defense is so f***ing ass

 

It normally doesn't happen with guys going right at him, but it's happening this game for sure.

I'm not gonna be mad if Cam wants to be traded. The Hawks treatment of him is getting ridiculous

No he doesn't.  Stop the lying.

Only Simons has legit cooked him this year.

Most of the time, Trae is on the other teams spot up shooter.  He's hardly ever on a guy who can shoot and take people off the dribble.

Monk and Bradley are aggressive with their offense, so they're not going to let him rest.

The best thing we can hope for is for Westbrook to feel like he needs to get his shots up.  That'll take them out of rhythm.

[terrell]

I thought the Lakers were the old team? 

[marco102]

Delon refuses to pass the ball ahead.

[NBASupes]

Kevin and Cam got slapped pretty good on the wrist but no call

You guys complain about Trae all the time, but can't name specific games in which he's gotten absolutely torched.

You know why?  Because it doesn't happen nearly as often as people complain about.  

Tonight he's definitely under attack.  He needs to exert effort on both ends of the floor tonight.

[terrell]

Trae showing no pride. Simons or Bradley  don't matter who he guards. Embarrassing

He can only do lateral passes where he sees it. His court vision is pretty bad.
