KAT just letting Bazemore glide in for an easy layup. Why didn't he challenge that shot!?

Minor miracle if we can get this under double digits before the half.

No energy from chasing offensive rebounds he has no business even trying for.

I'd like to see KAT actually try on defense for a possession as another minor miracle. He and Rose have been awful defensively.

Hawks are attacking rose every time down the floor.

How can Covington move so well on D and horribly on offense?

I actually think his lateral foot movement defensively is average at best. His long arms and ability to get deflections are what makes him so good defensively. But guys can blow by him if they protect the ball.

He's at least efficient with his movement on D. He is just completely lost when dribbling. It's strange.

Yeah, it's never been something he's done effectively. He is a pure 3&D wing.

If I were Thibs, I'd put Wiggins on Young to start the 3rd and Rose on Huerter.

Let's hope these guys come out determined to get some stops.
