Not too many glaring issues for us tonight. Seem like we covered all bases but we just couldn’t score as many points which is the type of loss I prefer. Fouls were an issue (including the uncalled hooks by Jokic) but we still hung in there and Trae played a wonderful game. Huerter is back and better than ever. Collins is in a transitional period so I’ll give him time but once that three gets less streaky and he starts hitting them more consistently...oooweee. Len off the bench is great energy. He didn’t do a lot of scoring but his presence was felt, all he gotta do is knock em down at the line.

Tall task for us to beat two top seeders in a row but we almost did. Thankfully, it’s starting to feel like last year again.

C’mon Drummond.

Is anyone aware of what happened to Evan Turner. Is he in the coaches dog house or hurt. In the last few games he had some DNP's or was not even listed in player list.
Evan Turner may not be a star anymore but can certainly contribute. He did so at Boston & Portland.

Per twitter a day or so ago, he and Chandelier parsons were told they will likely be inactive for the forseeable future.

On a related note, I think the sources of the supposed lockerroom leaks from a few weeks ago have been identified.

He's on the bench. Told to stay there.
Coaches have told him they are playing the young guys. And no...he really hasn't helped us this season. He has been injured more often than not. The experiment at PG as Trae's bavkup was a big fat Fail.
Hawks are now playing better with GLeaguer Brandon Goodwin manning the point. (That and we are finally getting everyone back).

This.

It's no coincidence that we've looked like an actual team in 2020 now that certain folks' roles have been diminished. True, we've lost 2 of the 3 games but we haven't been down 30+ like we'd come accustomed to.

Good to see the Swash Bros have another strong game together. The team could use another strong penetrating and finishing guard which makes Bembry expendable.

Center spot just keeps on under performing which is per usual. Gotta overhaul all three of those guys and start anew. Love the poise of Hunter, he just needs to find more consistency.
