We understand these aren’t the only problems. The offense truly just need to fit Trae and Murray. We don’t have to necessarily have spurs motion offense …but we definitely need something better then this Mcmillian clown fest.

The offense that fits Trae doesn't fit Murray and vice versa. That's a pretty big problem.

With that dynamic is this...   Neither Trae nor DJM are SGs.  And they are trying...  DJM fits less well because he can't hit open shots like trae can. 

 

That’s ok we cannot have a perfect fit around Trae but it can be better than this. Trae and Murray are smart enough to figure it out offensively as time goes on.

Trae spamming the bounce passes tonight.  That’s how he counters the lob breakup

They asked to play together so there’s good hope that they can figure it out.

Starting Mann over Jackson (and sitting him for the rest of the game) was/ is advantage Clippers.

Mann hasn't been offensively outside of transition but his defense has been good. 

Transition is where the Clippers killed the Hawks in the 2nd half and on the glass but that's been all night

I keep saying D'Antoni because he's made that dynamic work before.   Nate don't have the tools to make it work.   He's just going to have them alternate at the PG.  Well, when they are on the court together, DJM becomes ineffecitve.

Clippers are EXTREMELY BIG on the floor right now.

Hawks have to be especially tough now, and prevent those offensive rebounds.

You need a bonus if you take a charge from Zubac

No.. OO does the bounce passes because he always brings the lobs down UNLESS it's in the bucket.

I don't hold that on Trae tho. Murray was the only stud available for the assets Atlanta had.

All tied up.

D'Antoni offense is not a fit for Murray.

2 GREAT defensive plays!

We have life folks.
