Trae and Murray has more rebounds than JC and Hunter?

Hit them boards yall....lol

Lots of tip outs. It's not like Trae and Murray are battling the bigs for boards.

This would be a blowout if it weren’t for some rocket lucky 3’s and jalen green blowing to the basket every 5 seconds

[akay]

First half impressions: 

- Dre's handle is good, he's definitely improved in a tangible way.

- Trae and Dejounte are NICE, they have a good connection and I'm excited for their highlight reel by the end of the year.

- I wish Okongwu looked more confident in his shot, but it's only the first half of the first game. 

- Dejounte on defense is a breath of fresh air, we never got this much transition play before. The defense to offense all around is great

- Trae continues to be Trae, and I hope this is his Mvp candidacy season

- Jalen can play NBA level basketball  which is nice, but he needs to start hitting the gimmies

Yeah OO might just take Clint's spot this year

We miss Clint's height when he's not in there so he will still see big minutes even if OO emerges.

Trae too in love with the 3... Youre off son.. Stick to the midrange.. smh

 

Keep firing them up Trae.  Play your game.

Make 3 of your next 4 threes, and you're a more than respectable 4 - 10 from 3.

Watching live...not enough ball movement to start, slow on getting back in transition sometimes, Trae took too many off balanced not ready 3s. 2/12 from 3 not good.

Zero, zilch, Nada Turnovers - I'll take it.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

OK Bruno . . . just for the narrative, get your double-double, but lose by 20.

That is your mission, if you choose to accept it.

JC is boxing out though, letting somebody else grab the board.

But he said hes outrebounding Capela.. lol

[REHawksFan]

Trae's shot selection was @$$ in that half, I love how he and DJM are playing together. Just needs to take the shots within the offense. He'll get plenty. 

I get it tho, trying to get started hot and forced a lot of bad shots. 

22 / 15 / 0 TO and 4 Stl in a half? Sign me up every game.

Still think the poor 3pt shooting is gonna bite them. Maybe not tonight, but against better teams.

[HawksNWaffles]

Waddup y'all !!

Alot to improve on, but it's early so yeah

You have such another very nice element with Murray on the roster.  You have a bonafide combo guard who can score and assist from the wing playing opposite Trae.  The Hawks can create soo many more shots with this lineup.

Bruno said the Hawks was using him right, lmao

[benhillboy]

B2B nice plays from Bruno.  Floater followed by the roll outlet for the corner three I see you.

[Hawkmoor]

Bruno said the Hawks wasn't using him right, lmao.  Board acting funny. I posted that comment already.

Trae has a double double to start the 3rd quarter. Lol, this is gonna be a fun year!!!

[Dnice]

Bad interior lately,  and Murray  is the new Smoove with these 3 attempts. 

[MaceCase]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO if they let him get away with that.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

SMH . . Bruno is turning into Draymond Green, right before my eyes ( even though all I can see is play-by-play stats ).  He's going to lead this team in assists.

What is going on?
