I love Ice Trae but Murray is our closer this season. I feel like the hall should have been in his hands in the 4th.

that’s not to say Trae shouldn’t take any shots I just think Murray should control the ball end of games this season.

 

I don’t have any words for Mcmillian pulling AJ after a 10pt quarter. I feel like this may have been a momentum shift going the wrong way. That wasn’t a good game to lose …especially at home.

I dont trust Trae at all in crunchtime..

Showboating in the 1st half vs bad teams never works out..

He should know this by now..

Just guessing:  Big lead at halftime - We've got it made - We're winning all our games - we're hot stuff - look at us!!!

Hawks got their donkey's kicked, over and over, in the second half.  All those free throws that were missed - well, you know - Dang!

We had a nineteen point lead in the first half and just choked in the second half. Trae went hero ball the last three minutes or so of the game and just ignored ball movement to try and match Rozier shot for shot. Except...Trae missed I think all of his shots. And made bad shot after bad shot. 

Basically ignored all of the good things we've done over the last six games including this game to try and be "the man" and it cost us.

He never should have been put in the position to inbound the ball to begin with.

But he was. And he missed a simple pass. Not to mention his last 3-4 overall.

Trae sucks the last 3-4 min of ALOT of games..

I'd rather someone taking the shots to close out the games. Trae takes too many tough shots. The point is to get easy high percentage looks. 

[Sothron]

Hornets are BLATANTLY TANKING and we lose two games to them. Unreal. Just unreal.

Hunter, AJ and DJM were cooking all game and instead Nate benches AJ after AJ gets 10 just in the 4th and Trae ignores everyone but Trae down the stretch. Again.

I was told Trae was finally changing but I guess not. All it took was Terry Rozier making threes and saying something to Trae for Trae to try and match him shot for shot. This isn't NBA 2K in the Park, Trae.

Same old Hawk squawk! Blame everyone but the guy who was 1-7 with 2 turnovers during the last 5 minutes of the game.  Same guy who has hit only 1 3 point shot in the last 2 games. SMH!

[StonedDogs]

Trae wants the big fan response of hitting a big shot. Lil man just cant help himself. Overall in the five games he's played well though. Nice little 5 game run we had. On to start a new one

I frowned at your Bobby Jackson 2.0 years ago (maybe it was someone else)  maybe you saw it coming

Been telling yall for years this is who Trae is.. He lives for the HIghlight.. Even when AJ hit his game winner, Trae started off talking about himself hitting one previously before praising AJ....smh

It's actually Collins, but looks like Trae is looking at DJ. Dumb play call having Trae inbound.

Phivk the call, shouldn't be in the position any damn way.

Yes it was JC I saw open too.. Trae wasnt even thinking about passing the ball his way.. It was DJ or nothing..

I had a lot of negative things to say about Trae after we drafted him. At this point there's no way to deny that he is way too selfish down the stretch in games. He literally just stops running an offense and goes into hero ball mode in any close game in the last three to four minutes. The last few games he was NOT doing that and we won five straight. He goes back into that way of playing and we lose. 

This isn't just this season. It is every season by him. I love Trae but you have to be objective. His mindset in close games is horrible. Just horrible.
