John Collins is a beast!

Huerter just got that smart, efficient floor game. Knows the value of affecting the game beyond the stat sheet.

I’m just looking forward to being pissed at how few All Defensive votes Bembry’s gonna get at the end of the season. He’s near-elite. Baze is also worthy of a few votes.

30 and 12 for John is nothing. Even with 3-6 from three I don’t want him taking that many. Takes him off the offensive glass and free throw line where he can effect the tenor of the game even more.

I’ll always be a Dorsey supporter. Regardless of results he consistently plays with a good energy.

Shout out to Atlanta United. I can never get into soccer but the fan support and Uncle Arthur’s ownership has been nothing short of phenomenal.

JAnderson probably gonna get suspended for kicking Murray. Looked dirty as heyul to me.

I peeped that as well. He doesn't have any previous incidents of dirty play that I know of so he may get a pass. Honestly, that little foot slide by Livingston that took Taurean out looked suspect to me as well. That didn't get as much scrutiny as it should have. That's right out of the Bruce Bowen playbook.

Livingston was retroactively issued a Flagrant 1

Flagrant 3 for Johnny for slapping the poor kid?

I hate these games. Hawks get the win and worsen their draft position and Trae has a horrible performance, and makes the draft night trade look worst and worst

On the same night Trae goes for 3-12FG...

SMGDH. When you look at the fact that he’s younger than Trae, I think we have a draft bust worse than Marvin over CP3. Houston’s defense is an embarrassment but still, Luka’s skill set, size advantage, and IQ will never be remotely approached by Trae. Dude even dresses better than most NBA players already. The only thing I’ll never get accustomed to is that weird 77 on his back.

Trae had 5 shots blocked tonight. Did you see that lazy entry pass to Collins that 2 Nuggets fought over to steal? Or how about the 17 foot pull-up brick. I get depressed whenever he’s at the scorers table. I welcome Baze or Bembry playing Point even with their offensive struggles because they can effect the point differential through their floor games in far more ways than Trae.

[benhillboy]

Trae’s assist:turnover is now 1.8, not even in the Top 100 (90 year old pass hater Jamal Crawford at 89!) After the honeymoon of him piling up assists early and having a great rim finishing percentage (that has torpedoed since), he provides absolutely nothing. Hell, Vince could bring the ball up.

[graymule]

Wonderful! Great win. Now, on to Dallas and facing one of the posters here's hero. First round pick we swapped for Trae
and another future first round pick. A veteran of several seasons of pro ball, right now he's doing well.

Hawks might have another player or two off the injured list by game time.



PS: a flag. 2 and kicked out in the closing seconds. What the heck? Expensive shoulder bump, wasn't it....

I just saw this

[Jamaaliver]

Re-upping Bembry in October was a low risk move that his paying high dividends almost immediately.

If we don't sign him to an extension next summer, he's gonna get some really good offers in RFA in summer 2020.
