Trae is disappointing me tonight.  He's not trusting teammates on offense and playing like a high school star.

This is a prime 'sit the starters' to give bench energy guys a chance.  But iRobot didn't get that upload.

A zone is not meant to stop three pointers. 

 

A Zone is meant to force you to take long jumpers.  If you play the zone right and people rotate correctly, they never get those open looks.

This entire team simply ball watches a little too much, and don't recognize the personnel out on the floor. 

Melo is the last guy you can give a sliver of daylight from 3.

I have a feeling Cam is going to be dealt 

Good

 

Cam deserves better than this garbage ass team. I'm gonna be really happy if he's traded and starts shining!

[NBASupes]

If your name isn't Capela, Okongwu, or Collins, you got soul searching to do defensively.

As long as Hawks are packaging him for a star, so be it.

[Atlantaholic]

Not looking forward to us to make a run right now and then bring TLC back in the game with the rest of the starters and give it right back up.

Do you think it's scheme?  I hate the hedging that everyone does.  But I can't tell if it's the scheme that is off, or if it is just poor defensive awareness from everyone not named John Collins.

[JTB]

Cam looks disinterested. Probably wondering why his minutes are so low….smh how much of this coaching staff changed??? That really is a big issue If we literally have 2 people from last years run on the staff

I don't disagree.  There must be effort on defense either way.  Maybe it's not their personnel.. maybe it's our personnel.
