Two observations. De'Andre Hunter is going to be very good. The FG% isn't quite there right now but he's flashed exactly what I thought, the potential to have a very good FG% because of good shots taken.

Second, I'm not liking what Young is doing of late. Hunting assists and hoisting 3's.

It's driving me crazy as well. His assist hunting tunnel vision has gotten worse.

Travis is still in rebuild mode but next year, we will have 2nd more 1st rounders (One lottery and one non-lotto). We need to finally add solid vets like Phoenix just did. 

 

Our targets in my eyes: 

In trade: Steven Adams or in FA Aron Baynes

Jeff Teague as the backup PG. 

No one non-PG to be the backup PG. We need a real PG. 

We need some more glue guys are who are good like Bembry. Kenrich Williams needs to be a key target. 

We need one more really talented youth big man. That should be our focus with the lottery pick.

Yeah he just missed Hunter flash open and was late on that pass.

[NBASupes]

Trae Young when he is extremely good has the chance to be one of the best offensive players ever in my eyes. 

When he is off and not playing smart, he is Stephon Marbury 2.0. The stats are there but he can't help you win.

Agreed. He is not playing natural flow of the game. He has been watching too much Luka and trying to force stats to match him.

[BudBall]

He is getting abused on defense too.

[Bonkers]

Hunter is the real deal

[Dnice]

Might as well get ready for  van fleet and paschal... they are a damn mess tonight. 

[Lurker]

If Hunter was in the mode he had been just a week or so ago where he wasn't at his best, this is 27+ and already completely done instead of most likely done.

Very frustrated with Collins and Young right now.

So what was Pierce's logic behind that lineup for the last 1:37?

This team is basura. We only got 8 keepers. We don't really have much young talent compared to the rest of the teams who are in our stage outside of our core 6 and 3 of them aren't playing tonight. We need those two 1sts in 2020. 

 

Bembry is a keeper as is Parker. Other than that, I don't care to see any of these vets ever again. 

So did we extend Travis too soon?

Umm u do know it's against the rules to criticize Pierce on here right?

Time to start tracking the Hawks on Tankathon again. I thought I was out but they pulled me back in. Sigh.

This collection of vets is worst than last year. Hell, I would love to have Lin as backup pg right now.

[JayBirdHawk]

11-19 vs 3-16 from 3. Yikes.

Yep. And thats very concerning...

[capstone21]

76 points given up at the half ... that’s not embarrassing 

[NBASupes]

Trae might need Collins more than we lead off.

Maybe LP will save his coaches challenge until the last 1 minute like last game vs the Bucks. Remember how he "retardedly" used his coaches challenge when it made zero difference?

LP is a  coach. Bad rotations, bad analytics, bad understand of the game.  And here I thought it was a meritocracy. The players have to be really good, but the coaches can be  and get paid millions.
