You know how the NBA is. You start benching Trae, you will get fired. This isn't college sports 

I feel like a coach can get a pass for pulling him a couple minutes earlier than his normal rotation if it’s a one off. He was sleepwalking through the 1st quarter.

Nique . . . you stay away from Monique!

I didn't see the turnovers, but I'm assuming he was trying to force passes to other people, in an effort to get them going.

I am always against Trae trying to get everyone else going, before he gets himself going.  We need him scoring the ball, so I want him shooting the ball to prevent those types of forced turnovers.

Weak ass screen Capela.  Never heard of Herb Jones in my life but I like him.  That boy active 

We’d be screwed without 2K Gallo right now

Trae should have sat this one out if he's not 100%. .. I feel strongly that if he wasn't in the lineup the team would be more efficient and cohesive on both ends of the floor... it's not about the Highlights for me it's the F***ing Fundamentals!!!!

-21 with 6 turnovers isnt gonna cut it.. With that defense of his...

Lucky to be down only 10.. Thanks Gallo... I might want you back next season after all..Hes a better fit than JC is offensively imo...But Ive always said we need an upgrade at PF.. JC/Capela/Bogi/Huerter/picks should bring us an upgrade at SG and BIG right? lol

Delon expended all that energy to give up a pretty basic drive lol.

Herb Jones (+13) and some dude named Alvarado (+12) pressed Trae pretty well (-21).  The Pelicans had his passing patterns down and also jumped a few lanes for ill-timed live ball turnovers.  Valencunas did his usual bully thing, Gallo singlehandedly carrying our offense, so there you have it, down 10.

Well damn. I just looked at the stats and Trae has 6 TOs and the Hawks gave up 60 pts in the 1st half

That's some shit I expect from Westbrick

[terrell]

Why not give TLC a try and sit Huerter garbage ass down for a while? We cant have a bad Trae and a bad Huerter in the same game....

"Had his passing patterns down"

Not that hard to learn what we do on offense in film session..

Yeah Trae had been doing better with the turnovers..

[terrell]

We just cant get stops....smh

[Bonkers]

I'm watching the Pels broadcast and they are saying they love when Trae doesn't pass the ball and just jacks up shots

"We'll live with that"

 

OMG everybody can see it smh
