[Hawkmoor]

Big miss by Trae.  Bogi saved them.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bogi is feeling it.

GET A STOP!!

 

lol . . . too much to ask I guess.

[MaceCase]

Can’t trade 3s

[NBASupes]

Trae defense man...

[benhillboy]

Bogi on his sh@t

[Diesel]

Gotta keep the momentum. 

 

[Hawkmoor]

Exactly.  Bogi plays like that, there is no need to look for another player to play beside Trae.  

Trae let him get into the paint.  The one major weakness of this team is their point of attack defense.

[Plainview1981]

Trae .. The turnovers, missed 3's and defense.

Horrible.  Stop that whining about the refs and learn how to play defense.   You can't score 30 points and give up 30 points.

He needs to go over the screens….forget allowing Lowry or anyone a lane to the basket! We are running him into capela and that’s no shot at OO. that’s just not OO defense game right now.

If you make the shaq Hawk sound... we will comeback 

 

[Atlantaholic]

I really hate Lowry.

Bogi will never play like that on a consistent basis and even more so his defense will always be a problem even if his offense is on.   To me s top tier 2 way SG is our #1 priority if we can get one.

He can't play with Capela though.  You can't have two bigs who can't shoot outside of 5 feet on the floor together.  Against certain matchups though, Okongwu can play the 4.  

 

Yeah you can.

Both could be used as screeners and guys who crashed the offensive boards for putbacks.

It would also help if one of the bigs was a decent passer.  You could run secondary offense from him out of the high post.

[JTB]

Trae need to just go over on the screen and live with the shot! Lowry is not curry …and the way these refs are blowing the whistle I much rather keep them away from the basket

I don't understand Trae.

Stop holding the ball and just GO!!
