Trae alley oop to Zaach.

Such a beautiful play!

I'm curious to see how he does tonight, too.

NOTE: I don't think I could justify using #1 overall for Clingan, but i definitely was in favor of trading back and talking him at #4 or #7.

Should be interesting as some Hawk's fans even mentioned taking him #1 (Jamaal)

We'll see how the frontcourt holds up against his size and D

Watching the Blazers stream and their play by play guy says Trae can't shoot 3's as Trae is shooting threes.

Double pump off the glass for Trae. Nice shot!

Let's get a run going Hawk. Portland 99-90

17 point 3rd quarter.
5 points from the 7:13 mark and up 10.
TOs and ORebs - that is all.

That was rough.
Candidate for worst loss of the early season.
The game was lost in the 3 quarter.
The team's youth was really on display last night. (I don't we lose with Bogdan and DeAndre available.)

This was rough. So much to rethink in end of game scenarios.

My takeaway: we need another scorer.

This is where Dyson and Jalen have to be more involved in scoring, running the offense as teams sell out to stop Trae.

Neither are natural scorers or consistent shooters. They're also both fairly inexperienced.

It was disappointing to watch.

10 turnovers in the 3rd.

Time to move on and focus on the Kings tonight.

Spot on.

I'd like to see Jalen Johnson exceed his career high of 29 points per game. I have actually been waiting all season for this to happen.

Rookie has 33 points this season and Jalen is sitting with 29 as his career high.

To be fair, Jalen has a lot more offensive responsibility than the rookie.

The only things Risacher currently offers on offense: cutting and shooting.
