I like Hunter and his career projection's, he just streched too thin trying to cover up for his teammates shortcomings. He definitely does need to show MORE to warrant an extension like Mikal Bridges received. I agree that the team defense should be better, whether it's Nate or Nate defensive schemes can't get executed because players lack the ability. Schlenk gotta figure it out, status quo is too dangerous.

His teammates  shortcomings aint got nothing to do with his bad shooting.

How in the holy hell is this team the 2nd best 3pt shooting in the nba?!?!

They can't make wide open 3s most of the time.

He did that with L.P stint here too. Honestly, that's some b**ch ****. 

Miller, Stockton, Nash, Kobe would never downtrot & not play their game to try and prove a point.

Fire Schlenk. Fire Nate.. Trade anybody you can in the offseason.. Start over.. The end..

That's where I'm at............

Hunter is NOT a great defender.  He's decent.  But he doesn't shut people down.

His defensive metrics are nowhere near Delon's.

LMAO . . Miller and Kobe definitely did.  Or did you forget this game

 

 

That's a good rebuttal, but who IS coming for Trae like that. He is one of the most-least covered *Superstar* in the league if not the most. Unless there some internal conflict with the front brass we not hearing, I don't understand why the need to come out and play passive PURPOSEFULLY. In B2B seasons, this not a one-off thing.

I like Schlenk but yeah Nate definitely doesn't move the needle. Gotta shake things up and restore balance to this roster. 

[JayBirdHawk]

 

Are they even trying?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Big Tigger is trying to get the crowd hype.

Make the run right here . . or DIE!!

His lateral movement is lacking... 

 

Hawks showing signs of life at least...

May have to go back to playoff lineup with Bogi/Huerter.. IDK man....But we played better without Dre.. Is Snell available? lol

Okongwu and Delon's defense has energized our shooters.

Trae looks to be engaged now.

Bogi looks to be on, despite that last miss.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The defensive plays that Delon makes, Hunter does not make.

[Diesel]

That was a janky call. 

 

This ref is wrong...

So it took our best player 3 qtrs to look engaged when we're on the bubble of making the play-in? That says alot..

Hunter is 6'8 and our worst rebounder lol. Trae outrebounds him.

[Diesel]

Not liking what I'm seeing from this ref in particular. 

He is not going to give Trae a Shooting foul on contact off of the three point attempt.   This rule is too subjective.  It leaves the refs to make the decision of whether the player was in the act of shooting when fouled.  This ref will never give Trae the shooting foul.
