It's amazing how well a team looks when they have pure shooters. When you have one or two players who can consistently make 3-point shots, it just opens up everything.
It baffles me that we have failed to get shooters who can get in the rotation. This is just a microcosm of this team's failures. JT and JB HAVE TO HAVE GREAT GAMES for this team to be successful. When one does not, we're doomed. We're doomed tonight AND ATL is without John Collins too.

Smart posted Trae down so low Trae was out of bounds.
We need to attack him.

Has anybody seen our defensive-minded guards. Trae is unguardable.

We lost a 20pt scorer in Brown ... only way to get that back is better defense and it's not there again since the break.
We've reverted to our old selves ...
Gonna need some offense from White, Pritchard, Grant and/or Nesmith or this one's lost.

Gonna need some offense from White, Pritchard, Grant and/or Nesmith or this one's lost. This is a great opportunity for someone to step up big-time offensively but we're not getting it. But you're right, we MUST be better defensively and tonight, as we've been since the break, we are not good at all defensively.
