That's the one thing they've been doing this half . . . until that Monk 3.

[Q45T]

How bout y’all call a damn moving screen.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Good job Collins!

[kg01]

Ref wanted Melo's autograph. 

That was a no-call in 1st half.  These refs.

[Final_quest]

This game has such a weird feel.  It’s like the refs have too much influence.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Defenders expect to play ultra aggressive on Trae, but get mad when he puts on the brakes and lets them run into the back of him?

 

[kg01]

Foul-bait-brook.

[kg01]

Not a good sequence

[Carmine]

'scust

[Peoriabird]

This shit is unreal

[kg01]

Trae should've flopped on that screen.  Who knows if these dumbarse refs would've fell for it.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Nate has to go to bat for his players.   It's OK to draw a tech, before your players blow up on these refs.

 

Yeah, Hawks are going to have to outshoot this team the rest of the way.

Can #11 stop iso-ing and pass the ball earlier in the shot clock?

The refs are making him do it and throw the ball away...That's it

[Atlantaholic]

It's the refs fault we don't box out give up a free 2 points and then get a turnover and commit a foul to give the Lakers an and 1. Stop blaming the damn refs and play ball.

I'm assuming you're talking about that last Trae turnover.

What the Hawks need to do is quit standing around and running away from Trae, to give him a legit passing lane to give the ball up.

When they trap Trae again up top, watch the rest of the players.

 

The other option will be to let Hunter or Huerter bring the ball up, and give it to Trae late.

As a former PG, I used to get pissed off when people would see that I get trapped, but just stand around waiting for the ball, because no one was around them.  No . . . I need you to run to the ball and give me a passing lane.

Can the rest of the team stop watching him get trapped, and give him a passing lane?
