I agree with everything except trading Trae.

but spot on everywhere else.

By running it back. I am just talking Trae and Murray. JC and his contract gotta go

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Did murray try to fight the ref at the end?

[Plainview1981]

Bench Collins fir the the game.

The most glaring thing is our consistency for 48 minutes - we'll have great stretches on both sides of the ball - then have a lull and lose focus.

 Hopefully just growing pains and lack of experience not withstanding the struggles of some players as a whole.

[benhillboy]

Trae played as well as he possibly can yet the other starters dragged him down to a 0+/-.  Who in the hell hit all those shots off his assists?!
 

Obviously Mazzula focused on the bench, cutting their scoring in half from last game.  In trying to preserve John’s trade value the Hawks have lowered it.  John obviously needs to slide a chunk of his minutes over to Jalen like when you traded food in the school lunchroom.

I won’t throw in the towel because the Hawks have shown fight and maybe the Celtics try to skip a step looking forward to Philly at home.

Karl Anthony Towns

Watch the game tonight and you'll never want him on your team. He's not a roll man, he's not a good post player and he's worse defender than Jokic. In combination with Trae, he'd be disaster for Hawks team

Everybody. All his assists:

For the NBA to be so progressive on women’s and minority’s rights the amount of times players are seen mouthing “b&@th a$$ n*%ga” is golden.

Lol, what! That's like saying Trae ain't a PnR PG. KAT is the best PnR big in the league as he can PnR and PnP and screen. He's still an excellent post player, he's not Elite on the block. He's been a worse defender than Jokic. 

We need an offensive center BAD!

I'm hoping so.

Need to bottle this performance from Dre and Trae and take to Boston....then have the rest of the team show up at least a little better than they did tonight.

I watched most of his career bro. On top of that, he's doing well tonight on the block

Trae had 9 three point assists tonight.  7 in the first half.

If Murray gets suspended, the NBA really hates us.

Tatum bumps a ref and cusses him out, nothing happened.

He's been on the Wolves team for years and played with some good players around him and they made PO's only once and play-in once losing both times in FR.

Had that been Draymond and a ref who hated him, he gone.   Sh%t is so random.
