It's getting hard to defend Hunter. He needs to show something.

Hunter just terrible

It's gotten so bad that I think he might play himself out of the league if he continues like this. He look like Josh Childress if Childress played with the flu

[JayBirdHawk]

Huerter, Gallo and Capela are on tonight.

Hunter still has 2 rebounds and 0-5 in the 2nd quarter. Terrible

Trae missing everything. (Except the last shot, hopefully this wakes him up)

[Peoriabird]

Hunter co leads the Hawks in +/- but yet somehow he is the problem tonight.  There is another end of the court Hawk fans lol!

Trae needs to STOP

That fg% is horrendous. Thankfully he hit that last one but man smh

 

He's missed a lot of good shots, going toward the basket.  

Keep that same energy in the 2nd half . . please.

Fatso might play tonight for the Pelicans

[kg01]

Hope Trae wakes up before Ball does.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

If I'm the Pelicans, of course I'm activating Zion tonight.

Bring him off the bench and let him play 15 - 20 minutes, to see how he can affect the game.  

If it's a negative, keep him on the bench.  If it's a positive, that's great for the Pels.

Reminds me of one of kg02's teams.  They were unexpectedly good so a couple former players, who'd quit on the team, tried to come back in time for the playoffs.

They got copious amounts of side eye 'cause thats some bowl sh*t.

Rozier with 5.. Melo with 9..

Trae +9, playing a nice floor game with the pacing.  Clint dominating as he should.  Nobody stopping Gallo, Kevin, and Bogi from getting even better looks in the second half to continue 50% shooting from three.

I would’ve thought Oubre would get more than 4 minutes as their best guard slasher against Kevin.  Whatever let em keep jacking up bad threes.

I can’t see how y’all watch ESPN NBA coverage I had to turn the channel as soon as Mike Greenberg started speaking.
