Official Game Thread: Timberwolves at Hawks

[kg01]

Random musings from kg ...

Is a grown man letting people call him 'Kat' the same as a grown man letting folks call him 'Delicious'?

Also, Jordan Bell is just as trassh as I knew he was for GSt.

Trae and these passes.  Worth the price of admission.

Prime Curry ppg numbers with prime Nash apg numbers is hall of fame worthy. Trae is averaging 9 APG with some of the worse bigs i've ever seen.

I feel ya in general terms. But even if Jones and Parker aren't good "bigs" they are both fantastic rollers for Trae to pick and roll with so I feel like the statement isn't completely accurate from that standpoint.

Haha Kat with the punkest flop I've ever seen.

I told ya'll.  While all of the focus is on Luka ( as well it should be right now ), Trae is having one of the best seasons ever for a player his size.  It's like only Trae and Tiny Archibald who has ever done this at his size, and at his age.

Hunter got that vet-level shot fake.  That man look like a Sesame Street puppet tho.

And with a flawed roster..

When LP subbed in Bembry after that Teague foul my 1st thought was, Bembry do not return the favor.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

That 2nd quarter was the best one of the year.  Very good offensively.  Outstanding defensively.

Bruno active on both ends.  The way he stayed with Wiggins and forced him into an off balanced jumper, is what is going to make him to be a very valuable player for the Hawks.   Offensively, he simply has to be more assertive.  No hesitation.  Just go up and attack the rim.

Trae may as well have been Frank Sinatra out there, the way he was humming out on the court.

Guys who have averaged 25 ppg - 7 assists by their 2nd year in the NBA.  The list is only 5 deep.  You'll recognize them all.

Hawks better be ready for aggressive trapping and doubling in the second half. Minny is going to force him to give up the ball. Other guys are going to have to make plays.

Outstanding company indeed!

[Spud2nique]

Caught up! I’ll say it. I’ll ride or die with Trae. I love that man! When Andre interviews him bent over at his knees saying anyone who knows me knows I love the assist... I got chills. Literally goose bumps!

 

GO HAWKS! ICE TRAE THE FREAKIN GAME!!!!
