(Serious conversation) - What did the Trae rules and COVID cost us this year in the standings?

This is Nate's fault.  We don't run fast breaks.  If we ran more fast breaks, we would get more take fouls committed on us.  With Horses like Kev and Hunter and JC when he comes back.. we should be running the fast break and trying to dunk on teams when the chance presents itself.

I don't know why he's playing but TLC plays fast break basketball.  And Trae has the chops to be a great passer on the fast break.  Last game Trae hit Clint with a sweet 3/4 court pass because Clint was consistent in motoring down the lane.   JC is one of those dogs too.  I betcha JJ would also feast on the break.   We just have to employ it. 

To be fair to Nate, the Hawks look pretty bad when they do fast break. Everyone has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long and "over-dribble" except for Trae. He seems to be the only guy that passes the ball ahead consistently and makes the right plays on the break.

Well , Fast breaks are deliberate and practiced.   You can't just expect to be good on the break because you are running.
