[JTB]

Bad night for Cam so far. I hope he turns it around 2nd half.

Not sure why we don’t play it more 

Because we dont play the Lakers often

It's quiet as F000 in here!!!

The concerns were legit.  But the sheer joy when we were struggling was palatable.

I guess but honestly they should play it period. Their man to man is butt cheeks .

Lebron hasn't attacked JC one on one that much. Kinda interesting.

He got like 5 touches. He was corner Cam again. Only two quality touches which he should have converted. This is the shit that irritates me so much. He goes from 40-50 touches a game and 25 a half to 5 outta no where.

We were in the bonus, he should be driving to the rim and getting to the line. They haven't been able to stay in front of him. That shot was a bail out

 

No.  He was purposely looking for the 3 ball, because Trae is player that loves the dramatics.

You saw how animated the announcer Mark Jones got when he launched it.  Jones was ready to go off.

 

Ya'll call it "hero ball". 

But superstars take and make hero shots.

He's just playing his game.

We need to pick up the defensive intensity in the 2nd half.. Lakers are feeling down after blowing that lead...

Kevin +7. . . Collins +4 . . . Trae +5 for the game.   Great run in that 2nd quarter.

 

Monk and Bradley with 37 combined points.  I don't think either guy can keep that up, although Monk is the most likely candidate to stay hot.

We said that at halftime vs Portland ...didn't happen. We have got to get closer to these shooters....soooo many WIDE OPEN looks.

[kg01]

Yall watching the bspn 'cast?  I can't, until we go up big maybe.  Haha

[Diesel]

Jalen said Make it close....

We were sloppy... We were lazy... But look at us now.  We're younger. 

[NBASupes]

We don't know how to defend. Shit is crazy too.

Hopefully... if coach decides to give more than 9 minutes in a half.

As bad as that first half was, Lakers would be blown out without Malik Monk having his one game a month...

Kevon entered the building in the second. Trae figured out what they were tryin to do. He's such a stud.

[kg01]

Shld we go all in on o/no-d players?  Jabari Parker is available.  

[terrell]

I'd kill to have Hunter out there over TLC.. 

[JayBirdHawk]

TLC 13 minutes, Cam 8 minutes - can someone explain this to me please. 

[kg01]

Cut turnovers, contest 3s.  We'll be fine.

Every single scrub player imaginable has those one games a month when they play the Hawks. Funny how that happens.
