Hawks miss hunter really bad these past two games against Lebron and Doncic. There's no way Luka could defend Hunter if he was out there. He would also make him work for every basket.

He mixes a lot of body feints with tremendous decceleration and size. He's a tremendously tough cover but Cam has done well. He's slowed down their sets and that's critical when playing the Mavs.

Dallas is an ok team. Not particularly good this season. But they are well coached. And we struggle against well coached teams. They are executing their plan to stop Trae wayyy better than we are executing ours to slow Luka.

Cam is a 2 guard...Luka is too big for him.

He has. He just has to put so much energy on defense it effects his offense.

Luka is very crafty.

Its humorous to me that you think we have a plan to stop Luka. LPs "plan" is to wish Cam the best of luck.

Cam has excellent length and quickness.

We need this win. Brutal back to back with Utah tomorrow.

They are doubling Trae. That's making their defense vulnerable. I don't think that's a good strategy against the Hawks as JC and Kevin has been killing them

Kevin is doing a good job tonight.

Not only that but good chance Pacers, Cavs, and Hornets all lose tonight so a win you be huge.

To say its not impacting Luka is a lie. Luka is shooting 3-10 with Cam guarding him with four points from the FT line. That's 10 points but its 10 points on 30% shooting and 0% from three. The issue is all three fouls have been legit and drawn by Luka.

When Cam is not guarding Luka, he has 7 points but 2-5 shooting. 44% shooting and 50% from three.

ughhhh

[Marvin24Williams]

Cam is giving us nothing on offense today. 

[REHawksFan]

No offense. Take Trae away and its a suckfest.  

[Atlantaholic]

Amazing that LP had all of halftime to draw up a counter to this defense and this is what we get.
