I don't agree, Brad. I definitely feel the Hawks are better without Trae. The defense is remarkably better, and until Dejonte and Bogi started playing Iso ball themselves in the 3rd quarter, there was a lot more ball movement, which makes the offense less predictable. Of course in a small sample size, the offense with Trae is going to be better as the offense is built around Trae, and they practice that way. But if Trae wasn't on the team, and the rest of the personal were the same, they'd have a good offense and would be better than a 30 win team. Jalen Johnson would have even more development time on the ball. He's a walking mismatch, and like I've said all year and was shown in the Indiana game, Jalen and John Collins should be playing together. AJ Griffin and Jalen should be getting all the run, and Hawks should be playing fast, like they were in the 1st half, and letting the young guys use their athleticism. We also see how well John Collins plays without Clint clogging the middle. Of course Trae loves Clint because the threat of the lob helps him to score, and Clint is a great rebounder and back line defender in half court, but I'd rather have a stretch 5 like Myles Turner that allows Collins to be his full self. As small guards on ball, who don't defend, don't win anything as a team's best player, in the NBA.
I think Nate has one more bad coaching loss before he's probably outta there
I think I call a time out with that much time, if only they had help from the coaching staff, set a play up, just damn
You’ve got to call a timeout with that much time. Coach Nate what are you doing? I have defended you all year. But damn!
instead of talking about "the team plays better without trae" this really proves how good this team can be, without 3 starters they played very well, unfortunately, due to bad coaching, they lost, again, this team is top 4 if we had a damn coach
Another year of this. Team is consistently injured. Murray is real nice
I'm so confused by this team on every level so damn depressing I'm glad I'm not the gm I don't know what the hell the answers is. In my opinion 1st step fire nate beyond that I have no idea.
After next 20 games we will be 24 and 32 mark my words yall probably a 11 or 12 seed!!!!
