We all know Trae can go off at any time scoring.. Problem is we cant stop anybody even when he does...

So it's "a wash"

 

He's literally doing what every star/superstar player does in this situation.  He's doing all he can to keep his team in the game.

The fact that we can't get stops as a team, doesn't take away from what he's done in the 2nd half.

 

You may not appreciate the effort, but I do.

We cant get stops period.  This team isnt good.  The SPURS are about to drop 140 on us

28 shots and counting for backcourt.. lol

41 shots by the backcourt now.

21 makes.

 

Keep playing guys.  Just need about 3 minutes of solid defense, if ya'll can muster that.

[Jody23]

Still have a chance, but the clock is ticking.

[Atlantaholic]

Yea... if we can't beat the spurs I'm pretty much giving up on this year

[terrell]

Trae scoring 36 and having such a great shooting night(over 50%) and were still losing to a 3-14 team says alot about this Defense.. Jesus Christ..

Reminds me of the tanking years..

Bey at the 4 and zero size on the bench. I'm not surprised the Spurs are a tough, tough out. Trae has been on it for a little while now outside of the Cleveland dud, he's putting in the work at both ends. Problem is the roster construction, no depth outside of the top 8. What happened to AJ? why did we think we were set at the frontcourt? Even healthy we were already severely undersized and without JJ now it's comical. This is not a serious front office. They are happy to dwell in mediocrity as long as Trae continues to put butts on the seats. As a long time fan it's sad af.

Let's go Hawks

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Need a better shot than that Trae.

Could've went up by 6 . . . now it's just 2.

[Vol4ever]

We got the lead, go to the freaking rim.  

[ShooterSays]

Get the lead and then incoming hero ball…

[Vol4ever]

Hellfire........smdh.  I'm getting too old for this crap.  Get the dang lead by 4 and go 0-4 on threes.  

[Jody23]

Did Murray just yell at Bogi on that inbound?

Once again, I think Quin has no choice but to play bigger lineups.  Hunter's foul trouble kind of forced his hand with the Capela - OO lineup.

I say that we may need to see Bruno - OO lineups as well, if the Hawks continue to give up offensive rebounds and only have one guy who can rim protect.

Bogi needs to close this game. But of course, he;s not.

 

Good pass Trae . . . assist #5 in this quarter.

Damn . . . and Dre fouls out.  Bogi WILL close.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Excellent read Trae.

Not smart by DJ to challenge the 7-5 guy.
