And how bad we struggle with them

 

That's how it's always been with this team.  I've probably gone to ATL and watched more Toronto games in person, than any other team the Hawks have played.  No matter if it was Chris Bosh's Raptors, Rudy Gay's Raptors, DeMar DeRozan's Raptors, or Pascal Siakam's Raptors, this is a team we have a hard time with.

JC looks awful

[MaceCase]

Sigh, John just can’t clear space even against a lineup of twigs 

[NBASupes]

We need Trae back in. And Capela. This drive, drive, drive, strategy only works when he's in the game.

There is no reason for him to look this bad right now offensively. He wasn't even looking bad earlier in the game. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Collins doing work on the boards, and playing decent defense.  But his 4 turnovers, with the amount of touches he barely gets, is unacceptable.

JC is a POWER forward with no power smh

[JayBirdHawk]

Trae sits - an already anemic offense, gets doubly so.

[terrell]

I feel sorry for Trae and Murray..

If Collins and Hunter aren't making Jumpers they are as bad as Capela on offense. Neither can dribble or pass.. smfh

[NBASupes]

Drive Dre Drive

[NBASupes]

Continue to drive

Come on O

Raptors bust out a zone and Dre actually takes it to the rim for a change

[NBASupes]

They won't do it, but I'd love to see this dude on this squad.

AJ looks like he's a professional scorer.  But this guy is definitely a professional scorer.

We gotta continue to drive.

Refreshing to see a coach actually use a challenge in momentum swinging moments.

Even though it’s unsuccessful, you don’t just sit on them all game.

[NBASupes]

Good foul for Clint
