PJ yelled at the ref for 2 straight minutes.

But Trae says that a call is trash . . . which it was . . . gets a tech from him.

 

If the Hawks lose this game, and I'm Trae, I'm calling out everybody and taking the fine ( which Ressler better pay for him ).

The refs are letting him take hit after hit, but the minute he disagrees with a call, they T him up.

At this rate, Trae is going to miss Game 5, because he would've drawn his 8th technical ( which means that he gets suspended ).

Truth is, we can't dribble drive from no one. So it's easy to close out hard when we got no one who can just score an easy dunk with size. JC is just too small the way we are using him without Capela.

Oh I know, I been lamenting it for some time.  You want that from your 2 guard but it’s so well below average with Kevin and Bogi.  Down right allergic to the FT line the both of yous.

Nah.  He just was never developed offensively.   He has to work on his timing... Even when he finishes, he always brings the ball down.. That's the problem. '

 

Meanwhile Maxey, Bane Poole, etc.... Ah NVM....

Stop drafting BIGS early. UNLESS its an Cant miss prospect

This is a guards League....

Okonguw again getting completely dominated by a tall Center. How is Okonguw's size not an issue at the 5 again? If you are a 7 foot scrub Okonguw is your dream matchup.

I'm sorry, but Bruno gets that rebound folks.

[benhillboy]

I think John really misses Ded in the locker room.

Camping..

 Hawks acting like Dedmond is Shaq

Hunter is as useful as air conditioning in the arctic.

But but trea

[MaceCase]

Good block

Without capela this is just rough. Believe it or not capela is too important to the offense with his screens.

Without that 1/5 PnR, Trae looks human.

collins slips too many screens for Trae to even be effective . Has nothing to do with 1/5 ….it’s all about the commitment

His issue isn't man to man. Its team defense and help side defense. His man defense is impressive. He needs to be a 4 for good.

That size is very important. Capela cleans ground. Even when Okongwu connects on a screen, he doesn't clear space

Kudos to Hunter for getting to the hole instead of midrange pullups

Hawks offense looks scared of the Heat D.
