yeah there are absolutely certain players that are a problem for the Hawks.

Pritchard
White
Hauser
Grant Williams

They are just so loaded with 3pt shooters.  It is crazy.  Any one of those guys could make 8 3s in one game.  And those are just the bench guys.

If C's shoot 40% from 3 we have zero chance of beating them unless we are just on fire offensively.

We need to play tight and keep them around 33-35% to have a chance.  Hopefully things tighten up a bit in the playoffs.

So Trae does the squatty shot in practice too?  WTH?

I'd like to try to get Smart in foul trouble.  I don't think Brogdon can stay with Trae or DJ at this point.  

Or ejected, seems like the same odds for him. He flagrant fouls, he yaps to the refs a lot. Ya, Quin should get under skin too as part of the gameplan.

Not in the playoffs. Tighter, I can see 4 or 5 but 8 is too many.

I love Trae, how he runs around like a YBA player just having fun out there.

 

ps He will never get traded not ever.

He always looks like a baby in diapers to me when he got baggy pants on.

Hey Look, it's Sarah!

Trae has been struggling from 3 over his last 5 games including the Play-In. It's not pretty

3-28 for 10.7%

The Hawks need him to break out of his slump to have a chance against the Celts. They're going to need all hands on deck offensively to keep up. I fully expect this series to be a shootout.

This was AWESOME!

Unfortunately what makes Smart such a good defender is he's allowed to hand check and reach and generally play more physically than other players without getting whistled.

Sarah got a haircut. Hope her new hubby don't mind me saying it really looks good on her.

And to the point... always good to have multiple people reporting on the team.

Trae struggling at 3’s is obvious. He is rushing long shots again or continuing.

We gotta hit threes in this series. We have struggled all year with our shooting. Trae, JC, Dre, those guys have to hit threes. If we go cold then forget it, we got no hope.
