Game Thread: Pacers @ Hawks -- 12/26

I'm not always a believer in +/- but it tells the story in this game. All our starters in positive territory. Carter/Bembry/Lin in double digit minus. Our bench didn't really bring it.

For the Pacers, I like Sabonis. I'd love to pry him away someday. They've already given Myles his rookie max, don't think they can afford to do the same with Sabonis.

Prince for Sabonis.

Welcome aboard the 'Trade Taurean' Train.

Sabonis is a really nice young prospect. I'd even toss Omari in on that deal to balance it out for Indy.

I took no issue with trading Prince for the right deal.
No interest in getting a low level 20s 1st for him.
No interest in using him to salary dump Bazemore.

Why you keep trying to trade Prince, bruh? Stop?

Jaamal has always been shopping Prince. Personal agendas get in the way of team success. Although at this point Prince better get his $hit together.

Bembry had a tough overall game. Lin didn't bring his aggressiveness of the first half into the second, though in the 4Q he was feeding Baze to let him create because Baze had it going. Carter didn't really having going much either. They'll be fine in games to come.

I’m more encouraged by Trae’s floor game every night. I like to see something in the rebounds and steal columns but I’ll settle for a gaudy assist:turn and way more FT attempts than threes, although his stroke from deep looks better than it did earlier. Just basic sh@t he should’ve been cognizant of: set the feet, head up, shooting elbow straight, etc.

Justin Anderson look like a wrestler who was mentored by Ron Simmons but didn’t make it because he was seriously hurting folks.

Baze will never forget a game where he got 25 attempts. WTF. Gotta love him, dude playing hard as hell.

Johnny is just too good to be held back by a Tank. Defensive acumen aside any good team needing a Big would kill to have him.

Benhilly you sound like a jealous skinny guy that didn’t make the wrestling team in high school and mad now. Lol.

Just finished watching this game.

Trae continues his excellent passing and 17 and 9 is something I would have taken from a Hawks pg anytime back in the day.

Collins kept doing his thing nicely.

Baze went nuts matching a career high 32 but we rode his hot hand for a few too many possessions in the 4th. Tough to get away from Indy’s fundy play.

No lethal game thread had me


Go Hawks!!!
