At least DJ came to play

At what point are these cats even going to attempt to play defense?

Quin is right to double Haliburton . . but don't do it 3/4 court.  Do it in the half court, so that the people trapping can get back.

I was told Haliburton doesn't get doubled

Hunter only job is to guard Haliburton 

Doubling him is dumb. He got too much height and awareness 

 

Got no choice.

Gotta make someone else beat you.

 

That guy made 7 threes in the 3rd with no resistance from us.

@terrell, Traes having his best shooting night of the year, well over 50%.  Wish Hali wasnt having a career game right now lol

Just guard him with Hunter and trap if they come with that PnR but I need Hunter to be active once the trap is set. He's been too timid tonight.

He doesn't.

You saw us refuse to double him in the 3rd.  Then he damn near scores 30 in the quarter.

 

Make him get 7 dimes for 21 points if need be.  Just don't let him shoot the ball.

Hunter can't guard that dude by himself.  Hunter has no dog in him.

If that were the obvious move, Hunter would've been on him by now.

[Diesel]

Who is guarding Toppin?>

LOL . . can't get stops to save our lives.

And Trae is having one of his best shooting games ever.

[Diesel]

They got shooters....  Everywhere shooters...

 

[AtLaS]

This is like the all star game.  Noone missing anything

[NBASupes]

Good pull of Dre. They aren't gonna Iso, go all offense

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bogi finally gets to close a game.

[Diesel]

ThAT'S their offense Nique.  They spread the floor and lead Hali find them.  Double his ass.

 

[AtLaS]

Stop doubling hali in the backcourt.  Double him when he crosses half court.  

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Keep it rolling Trae.

[terrell]

This is like those old GS Nuggets games.. lol

All scoring no defense...
