Murray!!!!

[dalamchops]

djm is as much of a problem as trae playing too much iso ball.

Whatever it takes. Clutch shot by Murray.

[Guest]

He's possessed today!  

[TheNorthCydeRises]

This is what we've always asked about the Hawks.  When Trae can't get it going, or is struggling just to get a shot off, who else can step up and do it?

Right now, Murray is doing it.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Amazing what moving the ball a little bit gets you.

Game still not done.  Need to get one more basket.

[FL_BRYANT]

Play some defense make your free throws and go home. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Guard the 3 amd REBOUND!!!

[hawkman]

I'm noticing a little "edge" to the Trae criticism by the TNT crew. Just an observation. 

[Guest]

Knicks just lost too.  Making up some ground. 

[JayBirdHawk]

The ball movement on the Miami traps to get the ball back to Trae for the Capela lob...beautiful.

Not true.  Trae dominates the ball way more than Murray. 

[Guest]

Trae gets credit for that 5-second delay call on the Heat!

[JayBirdHawk]

Hawks WIN WIN WIN!!!

 

What a 3 game stretch against tough physical teams.

[terrell]

Trae is the PG and the leader of the team.  He's supposed to dominate the ball.

The thing with Trae is to be decisive.  Don't hold the ball when a double is coming and get it out quick.  Because if the ball moves correctly, it's going to come back to him with the opportunity for him to take an open shot or get a lob to a big.

I'm strictly talking about 4th quarter offense, the ball don't leave either trae or djm when it's crunch time. They just take turn going ISO

That's Nate's offense

[hawkman]

It looks like these guys have figured things out. I'm still concerned about the stagnant offense in the 4th quarter. It's like they stop doing what worked the whole game and go iso.
