Big road game for our Hawks. Tough test but pull out a win and it would be huge. Hope that last game was a sign that Trae is pulling out of his early season funk.

Man, I like the Cavs offense more than our own. Garland gives the ball up early in the shot clock, cuts to the weak side of the court and then comes back to get it via a dribble hand off after multiple players have touched it.

Trae...dribbles the ball for 16 seconds and then passes the ball to a covered teammate with the shot clock ticking down. Or just jacks up a contested, off balance 30 footer. :roll:

This feels like a misplay by the coaching staff. This would be a perfect time for Culver to display some of that defensive prowess.

Our team is fighting but the missed threes are hurting us.

We are 3min and a half left from the end of the 3rd quarter: this team has been clearly better with Okongwu than Capela, let's see which one of these two Nate chooses to play the last 6min of the game

But it's not the main problem: CLE is leading 79-78, but ATL +12 without Trae, and -13 with him!
CLE leading 85-82 starting the 4th quarter

Let's go Hawks!

If Trae would start limiting those ugly, out of rhythm three pointers before his rebounders are in position and focus instead on driving and kicking out to shooters -- he'd be the most productive offensive player in the league.

That Murray's TO with 2"15, everybody not moving, and Murray playing One-on-one and losting the ball... fantastic bball play.
Then a technical on John while he perfectly hits the ball, yes with a bit of contact in the love, but thanks refs!

2min left and ATL are -11, and guess who's on the floor? Capela, not Okongwu
We got dominated playing with Capela in the first 3 quarters, and in the game with Okongwu, but who Nate is paying? I'm tired of this stubborn coach

EDIT: and now, -15 with 1min left

When a player is not able to realize what he should not do, isn't it the job of the coach to say "hey, stop to do such a thing or I bench you!" ?

Hey, he came close to his season ppg average. We all know that does matter to Trae, win, or lose. Frustrating game!
