Just take the open jumper Trae. 

I agree.

Trae is being aggressive, but there's not a lot of room around that rim.  And they're not giving him the calls. So take a couple of deep shots to see if he can open up the court for Dejounte.

George and Kawhi are still 2 of the better wing defenders in the league.  Both are frustrating Murray a little and preventing him from getting to his midrange spot.

Collins probably has the most favorable matchup in this game.  May need to go to him a little more.

That was not an offensive foul by Trae. Should have been defensive foul for Mann running into him. Also we got screwed on that layup by Capela waived off because of shot clock. That's four points right there we should have.

Also have to question why JC had 9 points in 9 minutes in the first and has he even shot the ball since then?

We have to play to our strength and feed the hot hand.  If we feed the hot hand in the third, I think we can pull away.

We got away with one right there.

When was the last time we did that? We seem to do the complete opposite..

Trae cold blooded, drawing a foul on a laid out dude

Defense needs to tighten up too.

Clippers 11-23 from 3.

Every team gets hot when they come to Atlanta it seems.. smh

[Jody23]

Still not moving the ball.  Still playing slow.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae's help defense is actually contributing to Kennard being open up top on those last 2 threes. 

Just stick with him and don't help out.

2 is better than 3 on defense.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Just keep the game close guys, until they blink.

That's when we need to strike.

Good cut by Hunter and JC found him.  Definitely need more of that in this offense.

Bogi with the lockdown defense.

Nate played 10 guys??????? Oh my.

Nate almost got a tech yelling at the ref on that last Collins' layup.

Luckily Ty Lue called a timeout.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Need more great play from the bench when they come back in.

[terrell]

Clippers got to have a bad quarter shooting right?
