We gotta get more consistency on offense from everyone NOT named Trae Young. 

Trae poops out open shots for these guys all game long.  All they gotta do is be shot-ready.

@Diesel and @thecampster, what happen to Knox being good? He's worse than even the garbage I thought he was. He's worse than Dunn was last year. He's ass on ass. Jaylen Morris status.

Ya he does have a lil Starks in him agreed. Tonight 2-13 but we escape it.

Clint missed an oop too. The one where Nique said how did Trae even see him.

Comon Clint that was assist 13, but like you said, many blown, should have had 18 dimes as well.

He takes dumb shots and has no variety to his offense.

Well we did from Hunter, dude showed up tonight. 

Bogi 2-13 shot like a$$ but we dodged it.

Thank God Nate pulled him.

Im expecting Trae to get EC Player of the Week this week....

Why do you hate brate. He didn’t hurt nobody. Hope JC gets back soon. All hands on deck for this stretch run! Let’s go! 
 

Ok a couple of those corner 3’s were tough but it’s like telling Trae not to take long bombs, they make them a lot too.

If he doesn’t get it, I’ll pick you up for the protest at Adam Silver’s office on Tuesday morning.

That wasn't an easy dunk. 

[Diesel]

Honestly, we missed Gallo in this game. 

Gallo would have taken all those kids to the post up.   With No JC.. that's one thing.. but with no Gallo, we are missing an important part of our offensive engine.

His shot selection made me want to cry. Pathetic.

Well, Yesterday.. KD looked good.. but Trae has put together 2 40+ Point games.   Rare form...

[NBASupes]

Honest question, how can we confidently let Gallo go this offseason? 

[Diesel]

Yeah... I thought Trae put it up too high.  Clint went up with two hands to get it.  On the second night of a back to back, i don't think he had the juice to get up for it.  Maybe one handed he could have pulled it in but it would have still been difficult.

We can't.   When we had all that talk about trading Gallo.. I was stunned.  People don't realize just what Gallo Means for us.. Plus, he will be on a value contract.   Gallo is our post up guy (because Clint, OO, and JC don't know how to post up)... He's probably our best 3 pt shooter by percentage.   He's probably our best FT shooter by percentage.   He plays hard.   I wouldn't dare let Gallo Go.  You can't replace what he brings.

To me, keeping Gallo is looking like it's mandatory. He plays too critical of a role. 

For the Hawks, the goal should be to get AD if the price is right, Gobert, Ayton, etc. Try to get a MLE steal and pay the LT. Trade One of Kevin or Bogi this offseason. Hunter can be moved in a package for a star.

I am one of his biggest fans but sometimes he has irrational confidence.

Trae spoils us. Little beast 46/6/12. Last night he had 47. 
 

93 in 2 games. So he’s the player of the week already in the East…

We made it interesting but got the W and now at .500. 
 

Hunter sealed it with that 3 with 1:32 left. Dagger 🗡 He showed up. 
 

Okongwu and Delon D. The swatter and the thief. 

Nice win Hawks!  That’s 3 in a row!

 

 

Trae needs to beat Ja and Memphis, in order to get Player of the Week in the East.

He needs a statement win.  People won't give him credit beating lower level teams, no matter how great his numbers are.
