The new thing is it's not Trae.

Nooooo. 

Lol.

[kg01]

Guy slaps Trae in the face.  Dumbarse crowd complains about the whistle.  Stupid midwesterners.

I need to make one adjustment to my claim about the Pacers.  Everyone on the Pacers…except Turner.  What a terrible shot at the end of the quarter.

Thank God for Trae's ability to draw fouls and get to the line.

Down by 10 . . could've been much worse.

 

Hawks losing the rebounding battle by 11.

I don't like Murray's defensive energy at all tonight.  He's usually the dog on defense.  Tonight he's a puppy.

 

Needless to say, we can't let the Pacers bench do what they did in the 1st half.

[bleachkit]

Come on Hawks. Wake up. 

[JayBirdHawk]

The bench needs to give us some production.

You ready to admit Trae is not THE problem with this team? 

Our front court is trash outside of capela.

Our "shooters" can't shoot outside of AJ and Bogi. Bogi can't defend.

Look at this offense Carlisle is running and compare it to Nate's offense.

 

Trae? You mean Travis Schlenk? Thats who Ive always blamed... Trae the only thing we have worth a darn besides AJ.. lol

Ive said this.. Yeah I give him a hard time, but Dont get it twisted Its just because I expect alot from him. Hes our best player. And max guy.. it comes with the territory.. I just dont like the pieces Travis put around him.. with all of that draft capital hes had. .Just a whole bunch of meh. smdh

We're down 2 starters, including our big man and best rebounder.

Jalen Johnson may be the key to this game.  He's the one guy that has mobility and size, who can also help out on the boards.

If I'm Nate, I'm subbing in Jalen or AJ, before I sub in the Holiday Boys.

Love Bogi's offense, but he is so bad on defense.

Down 2 starters.. lol. Heard that before.. Dre will ALWAYS be out at some point.. Might as well stop calling him a starter then..And OO was supposed to be the successor to CC right? smh

We only win if Trae goes nuclear tonite.  Players are on their own and, taken further, Trae is on his own rn. 

 

I figured it would be a shootout, especially without Capela.

Honestly, we need our bench to give us a shot in the arm.  AJ is 0 - 3.  We need his scoring.

Trae may try to assert himself more, which I don't have a problem with.  But we need offense when he's out of the game.

Hopefully we can get a combo of Trae - Bogi - Dejounte . . and AJ off the bench, going.
