Mann and Young on the court together with Daniela is productive.

The ball is being spread out on offense so much so everybody can get some attempts. Quin needs to focus on the players that are shooting good and make them a priority.

Mann should already have over 10 attempts. He needs to play over 20 minutes in the game.

Nice job cosching in the second half.

Great win.

74 points in the paint to the Pacers 46.

I absolutely love this. :clap:

Great system.
Great coaching.
(Great Point Guard.)

This is the type of egalitarian offensive approach that will attract role players and stars alike to Atlanta. We're building a culture and identity not seen since the heights of Budenholzer's Reign of Terror.

Is it just Trae or also the overall makeup of the current talent?

Honestly, I think it's just Trae. Surround the kid with elite play finishers (dunkers and shooters) and they'll feast everyday.

Then LeVert is your type of player.

11 attempts last night. He went 0 for 3 from three, 0 for 2 from the line, and he shot 36% from the field.

Quin allowed him to be one of the four players to have double-digit shot attempts. That's not great coaching.

Great bargain for the $8m he makes. I hope he's a Hawk long-term.

Georges Niang and Terance Mann should be our primary scorers off our bench.

:-?

Caris Levert has literally been our best scorer since Hunter was traded. I don't think Quin is going to go away from a veteran player just because a few missed shots.

Seems he has a real dislike for Levert, not sure why.
Levert can run hot and cold game to game with his shooting scoring/scoring....but I like that he plays hard regardless of the scoring.
Levert was just hot in the 4th quarter of the Grizzlies game that lead us to a win. Didn't see him complain then.
I'm OK that we may see 2 of the 3 bench trio be hot game to game.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
