Official PLAY-IN Game Thread: Hawks at Cavaliers

[benhillboy]

Delon casually snatchers an offense board from Jarrett Allen leading to a score.  This kid man.  

How many layups has Garland smoked lol.  Keep it up

@ least Bogi came to play

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Shoot the ball Trae. 

A shot is better than a turnover.

[Peoriabird]

At least Love missed his 1st 3

[MaceCase]

Keep it under 10 and I’ll consider the 1st quarter a victory 

[benhillboy]

Bruh damn near every point they’ve scored came with action directed at Trae.  His PNR defensive shortcomings on full display.

STOP TURNING THE BALL OVER!!

[Peoriabird]

This ain't looking good

[Hawkmoor]

I was gonna come in here and pile on Trae, but I'm going in the opposite direction.  Trae is soo good on offense, even with his ball dominance, that he masks HIS and his teammmates lack of defense.  These guys do not defend.

[benhillboy]

Rondo need to sit his ass down somewhere 

[Carmine]

Trae not gonna prove Skip wrong with 4 TO a quarter

[NBASupes]

18 points off threes to 3 and the turnover difference is massive so far. That said, Cleveland dribble drive will be an issue for us if we continue to poorly contain the dribble drive.

[h4wkfan]

Very fortunate to be down 11 given how we have shot. 
 

gotta turn it up on defense and stop being turnstiles in the perimeter though. 

[terrell]

Hawks need to settle down and win this 2nd qtr.....

[Peoriabird]

Gotta win this 2nd quarter

Trae is the main one out of position on defense especially on the 2nd chance rebounds. He's the blame. 

[LucastheThird]

The turnovers and defense were bad for Trae this quarter. Need to focus and cut the mistakes going forward or we get blown out. 

[REHawksFan]

Just gotta weather the storm and claw back into it

I JUST posted that Trae's offense has been hiding his horrible defense.  His and his team mates.  Cleveland is doing the NFL version of going at the rookie cornerback, RELENTLESSLY, and its working.
