Trae needs to regroup. Winnable game. Hawks actually played good D most of the game. O is too chaotic at times. Not impressed with Dorsey and Huerter's progress has slowed a lot. JC looked great and did great for being rusty.

This was a winnable game. The Hawks had all the momentum at the end of the 1st half. Somehow LP seized a defeat from the jaws of victory with some bizarre lineup combinations. Dorsey and Bembry shouldn't even be in the NBA. Huerter and Trae are really struggling.
If the goal is a stealth tank, then by all means carry on. But if LP is really trying to win, then I've lost a lot of confidence in his abilities over the first 16 games.

You might as well give up on the season. LP is a rookie coach, just like our 3 rookies - there is a learning curve.

Great to see Collins back in the fold. Patience is the key for this team.

Yes, it's nice to have Collins back.
Now, we have a key weapon back, we can see what this young team can do.

Ha, maybe it was a hasty hot take. But I can't say I'm impressed with LP, even his supposed defensive emphasis.

I'm glad Collins is back but I do wish that LP would have played Trae and Collins together some more. I guess that'll come in the coming week.
Collins looked like he didn't miss any time while out there, the only thing missing is some conditioning from not playing in over month, and that will come soon enough. This team is a lot more bearable to watch with him in the lineup.

I agree. LP needs to shorten the rotation so guys can get in a groove. Despite Huerter scoring struggles I think he's already a better option than Dorsey or Bembry.
12 guys played double digit minutes against the Pacers. We're 15 games in. We have to bring that down.
