Trae. Trae Trae Trae. Damn.

I mean I’ve defended this man to no end. I had all the faith in this team. But this loss tonight is on Trae more than anyone. You just cannot shoot this badly as this caliber of player.

We see the work in the off season and even in the preseason. Now all of a sudden this guy isn’t even hitting close on wide open threes. It’s mental. And let’s just be honest

THE STARTING LINEUP IS FUCKING TRASH. Literally the embodiment of how we played with Nate, literally our worst lineup. CC and OO on the surface do a lot of the same things but man OO is much more versatile in how he plays. CC is so limited.

JJ clearly needs to be starting over Hunter, Hunters defense is not good enough to cover for his mediocre ass offense.

DJ and Hunter look lost out there together. Literally invisible.

Trae HAS to be better. If not then maybe he just needs a change of scenery cause that performance tonight was crazy. It’s one thing to miss tough shots but he had some wide open looks and just wasn’t even close. And he needs to SLOW THE FUCK DOWN.

Other than out of his prime Westbrook I’ve never seen a player get wherever he wants and consistently make the wrong play. Why is Lamelo so confident shooting 3s and Trae isn’t?? Steph starts games 0-4 from 3 all the time and ends up going 6/14 because he’s fucking confident and a shooter. Trae needs to slow down and stop going up like he’s Derrick rose. I mean i don’t remember him trying 1 floater tonight…

Trae HAS to bounce back…

    You are viewing the game because if you watched the game the team as a whole was terrible on offense. As for Trae there is only one player on the entire Hawks roster that is being trapped, double and triple team.

    If you are triple-teamed as a PG (Mainly a facilitator), then WHY are you taking so many ill advised shots?

    My man’s was 1-9 from 3.

    There were 5 players! One, two, three, four, FIIIIIFFFF!!! Five players shooting over 50%. Instead of shooting those 3’s why not play to get one of them involved more? JJ was the only reason this game was close, and this was with Trae having the worst shooting percentage ON THE TEAM!

    He took more shots than EVERYONE!

    This game showed me that Trae’s style of play is no different than last year, and I’m not waiting 30 games for him to get “hot” while the team makes its way to a mediocre, less than .500 record.

    Find the hot hand(s), and give it to them till they ain’t hot no more. If you not the hot hand? It shouldn’t take 20+ shots for you to figure it out. That is all I’m saying with Trae’s game! Don’t shoot yourself into a inefficient game, Give it up like J Dilla to some of your teammates and let them do work!
