That’s taking it a little far for the leagues 2nd ranked offense don’t you think?  The heat are just arguably the worst matchup for us.  They have a BU C who never plays who can keep Clint off the glass for goodness sakes.

It’s the 2nd ranked offense because of trae and Clint. You take away the 1/5 what is this offense? We are ball watchers. 
 

edit to add … it’s not over. And trae going nuclear is good enough to carry us by himself. But he’s gotta get shots going and the team has to hit the open looks when they get them.

Trae defense league in full force.

Everybody else on the Hawks can get slandered but not Trae LOL

 

What Free Agent wants to come to a team where they will get all the criticism when things go wrong but not Trae????

This would be a completely different series with Clint.

I respectfully disagree. While he would help, still think the outcome would be the same.

Nate ain't drawing a damn thing up.

Because he sucks. He’s the first change TS needs to make.

Shoot the ball Trae.

Only 1 shot this half and 10 points.  

Shoot the ball.  We live or die with you.

He can’t get a clean shot off. He’s trying not to force up shots. I mean this is why we need another guy who can really go get his own bucket if Trae is doubled like this…it’s getting really old.

[willthepureshooter]

Nate is what we thought he was in Indiana!! Just a coach with a talented player that can make him look good. He should've kept Lloyd's offense and the assistant coaches from last year.

[NBASupes]

Delon for MVP. Sucks he can't shoot or dribble and can barely pass but he's a smart passer.

I have seen everything that Supers and Bonkers agreeing on hating Trae.  But I got faith

We would make it a series with capela….for soooo many reasons that I don’t feel like typing up right now.

You are definitely blind.

Trae defense league cries 

1. Dre and Kev

2. Nate

3. JC is hurt

4. We need someone who can help Trae

5. But but, last year's playoffs

6. But but, play him off the ball more.

Yall some fairweathers if you are using this series to turn on him after what he has done up until now. 

The truth is most of these dudes have never been Trae fans. He's just played well enough to keep their traps shut until this series. Now they all beating their chests. But if he goes nuclear like he's capable of doing they'll all go back to silence.  Or just lie and act like they've always been on him.

Nate might need to start the bench in game 4...

Or at least play Delon more.

Delon shows a LOT of hustle on the floor

I like his intangibles

[FL_BRYANT]

Jimmy Butler was the only to hustle to the ball. As a result he got an open three. Good thing he missed because the HAWKS  stood and watched. Not winning basketball. Totally unacceptable. 

[NBASupes]

Trae Jokic

You must not be able to read. I said Clint would help.

No body hates Trae.. Its the way he plays sometimes.. Hes a detrement if hes not on offensively..

LMAO! Kevin and Dre don't suck. Ya'll always blame everyone else. 

Seeing Hunter live, I see why he gets no rebounds or deflections or steals. He is not a physical player AT ALL.  He has the clear mismatch on offense tonight. If he were stronger and more athletic, he'd force the Heat to guard him with Jimmy or PJ.

And Kevin is a solid role player who just has poor defensive awareness. His offense is solid but he doesn't have that killer in him.

The wings are the obvious weak link on this team, and the entire league knows it.
