Bench besides Hunter 3-15 from 3, 20%. Hunter was 3-4 (didn't include Mays/Cooper)

Starters besides Collins 4-19 from 3, 21%. Collins was 3-4.

Can't compete like this.

Nah it was all on Trae's defensive rotations.

Did yall know Vernon Maxwell's son plays for Georgia Tech?

He's drillin' 3's left 'n right tonite.

Yeah I'm way off topic, but screw all the whining.   I wanna smile about something. 

Maybe he can help our 3pt shooting on the wing...so pitiful by our guards and wings.

Our wings besides Hunter(3-4)  shot 3-18. A whopping 16%. They got their looks and missed.

They did but the Hawks made a lot too. In the 2nd half, a lot of those threes were contested and when it was wide open, they were pressing already down a ton.

I think we all like different teams right now (Supersonics please come back)

This is why I advocate rooting for one primary team and having secondary teams to watch. The Twolves, Nuggets and Hornets are worth watching and supporting. Just saying. And yes, I want Seattle and Vancouver to have teams again.

You are only blaming Trae and nobody else. 

We just happened to be talking about Trae at this moment.  I never blamed anything on Trae.  I just talked about his play.  You fanboys are desperate.

I didn't know

You know what this means, right?  I'm now your GT 'source.

So how does this work?  Do you pay me in cash or favors?

Ive been trying to tell them....He just not a winning basketball player, as good as he is offensively...I saw it at OU..Its why I was so pisssed when we traded for him.....Hes been ALOT better than I expected...I give him that......But the Hawks arent going anywhere with him as our best player.. I truly believe that..Last saeson we caught lightning in a bottle.....I recommended trading him back to his hometown  for SGA and a bunch of picks a while back.. Maybe we should start that converstion?..Instead of getting rid of everone else, Since he's the head of the snake......I mean we're not even beating Philly last season if Huerter doesnt turn into MJ for game 7...Real talk...

Right, terrell......Right, terrell

@Peoriabird

Not a fanboy but more like realist that everybody deserved that "L"

I think they would give Ben the ball at point at least half the offensive sets and move Trae off the ball off screens to get him some looks.

I think I would like that some.   I just think right now, it's easy for teams to key in on Trae knowing exactly what he's going to do.   It may be offensive coaching scheme and the simplicity of our offense or it may be Trae himself... telegraphing what he's going to do.. But somebody needs to go back to the drawing board and get this worked out. 

Was it Melvin Hunt??

Like I said they got the shots. Lack nerves of steel.

Our best player, Michael Devoe, is leading the ACC in scoring and hitting over 50% from 3 (iirc).  Maybe give him a look.   Baby Maxwell still needs growth.

[bleachkit]

Our team chemistry is just terrible on both ends. It's really bizarre.

They didn't get clean looks to start the 3rd. Miami made adjustments and they couldn't get clean looks. When they did get them was when the game was out of hand.

OO isn't the answer at center either. He's only good for smaller lineups at center. When he faces real centers he is struggling. 

If hes not a center, he was another horrible pick by Travis...Because He for damn sure isnt a PF..

So you tell me then...What else did you think John should have done??  Why does he deserve blame??

I think right now, he's best suited for BU. 

But he will get stronger and better.

Despite what @kg01 thinks I liked Melvin Hunt. He did a good job with the players and game strategy. I think it is pretty telling the difference in the coaching staff without him.
