It’s also interesting that we only shot 13 threes in the first half. The Hawks have definitely made some defensive adjustments from game 1 giving as way less space on the three point line.

Not having a player who could split the defense is really our Achilles' hill.

That needs to change....he only took 4 shots. No reason he shouldn't be eating inside.

Not a great half. Need better effort defensively. Butler been great, looking like a top 10 player like he did in the finals. Herro was good, but once he's got it going he's got to take more shots. He hit 3 straight shots and kinda disappeared from the offense after that.
Bam better aggression than 1st game, but he needs to be more involved offensively.
PJ 0 points, I am not surprised. There will be games where we get nothing from him offensively. That's why I didn't get Spo not playing Caleb. Nice to see Caleb to get a run. But he needs to be part of the rotation. We can't count on PJ to bring it offensively every game. Spo needs to realize PJ is 36, we need to have someone backing him up

Felt like we had a ton of shots roll out and they got a ton of open shots off of our deflections.

Jimmy needs to go out there and get 40 tonight playing bully ball. Too many people doubting that man being on of them ones!

Bam needs to start cooking.

This is going to be the effort of the series for Trae. They’re still losing.

I don’t think he is the problem right now. But he is easily our most gifted and talented scorer. As such he needs to be more assertive in the game and create more shot opportunities.

Our offense isn't designed that way. We have around 8-9 players averaging at least nearly 10ppg. The only one who's gonna get his shots is Jimmy.

But with the 2nd unit, Herro is set to take shots. He made I think 3 straight and started passing. If he gets it going he needs to continue shooting. He doesn't need to prove he's a playmaker. He needs to what he's good at, which is make buckets

Game is a little too close for comfort. Noticed Spo going extra small at times.

To be fair, Atlanta has terrible perimeter defense and our wing players are feasting of curls and cuts to the basket. Bam is still playing the decoy to often as the roll guy on a DHO and they aren’t biting they rather give up the 3pt it seems with him.

That’s been one of the Hawks adjustment this game they are making us pay on the switch they didn’t do this game one.
