Hawks need to make some trades in the offseason..

Bungle some of these guys together and get Trae a real star to play with...

I think the bigger issue is lack of innovation and just a straight up ineffective scheme.

This is one of these games in which if we ever got the lead, we'll probably not only win, but win going away.

At some point, we need a 3 - 5 minute stretch of good defense and timely offense.

 

And I have no idea which group will provide that.

The Hawks will win if they play average NBA defense.

I don't know how this happens without any real effort on defense.

Why has Trae only taken 7 shots?

[hawkman]

That's not a flagrant.

Hornets shooting 62% FG - 52% 3FG

We may need to play slightly above average defense in this 4th quarter.

He's spent a lot of time attacking the paint and finding Clint.  He's drawing a lot of shooting fouls as well.

[hawkman]

Mitten sighting.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Shoot the bomb Trae.

People can't even convert in the paint.

[Guest]

Hawks have 13 offensive rebounds to the Hornets 2.

[JayBirdHawk]

Finish strong please.

 

[LucastheThird]

Is Bogi actually trying to play defense? Trae playing the passing lanes??? Is this effort?

[Guest]

And Bogi the only Hawk with a positive +/-.
(Yes, I know...I know... it means NOTHING!)

[hawkman]

Just shoot the floater Trae.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Shoot the damn ball Trae.

Ugh...

[terrell]

Smh

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

So many wasted possessions.  This should be a 1 point game.

Now Charlotte is threatening to put it back to double digits.

And they do it
