Jaylen should go to the Hawks. I bet they would appreciate him there.

Lol. With their imaginary fanbase? Okay...

LOL

All 7 fans would love that he was there.

Jaylen was booed here day 1. I’m not sure it has gotten better.

He was booed her day 1 because most considered him a reach at #3. To say that hasn't changed is just not based in fact or reality. There are dedicated swaths of this fanbase that believe wholeheartedly that he's better than Tatum and should be our #1 option.

So we don't play defense, just shoot threes, and Grant Williams doesn't play anymore.

The Cs are no longer a good defensive team. They have no identity.

Yep. Honestly, it's like our identity is to just mimic the opponent and the overall flow of the game. Atlanta came out with a fast, uptempo, high-octane offensive first, and we copied.

But, yeah, our defensive rotations are just non-existent. Some of this is the absence of Timelord and new rotations by Joe, but we're definitely not a consistently goo defensive team.

nice to see the team that claimed this 2 week road trip would be used to regroup give up 38 points in 1Q to the hawks.  ::)

Haha they wanted Kris Dunn, Jamal Murray, or Dragan. Horrible takes.

Trae may be the worst defender in league history.

but he sure knows how to score.

I don’t get those that think offense>>>defense. Those people love Trae and Luka.

Such stupid offense

Why have we went to small ball?

Joe really cooled down JT by taking him after 6min.

JT always comes back cold after a hot start. I wish Joe wasn’t too strict with his substitution patterns specially with JT.
