Lakers Taking Ls | Hawks on the Rise?

guys were injured it was a very positive atmosphere i think they kind of took expectations off of themselves and they just wanted to go out there they just wanted to play for each other and i think that's a huge key with this team is the unselfishness and that's really kind of shown through um from top of the lineup all the way down to the bottom everybody's kind of playing for each other

I think the big thing, it starts with guys making shots, but I think a big focus has also been that Trey hasn't been, especially recently with so many guys coming back into the rotation, the main scorer. They've got a guy like Jalen Johnson who can go out and get you 19 points a night. Yeah.

Exactly, with the left hand. I think the rise of him kind of takes some of the pressure off of Trey to be that big scoring, this big offensive option. I think obviously when Jalen can get downhill, play fast, get things out in transition as we've seen him do, he's also taking on a thing of being a guy who can set guys up for plays. I think that's a huge thing.

because last year, you know, a lot of it kind of fell on Trey and that took a lot of pressure. I mean, you also had DeJounte Murray, of course, but they're both different players. And I think Jalen being kind of a bigger guy also helps them out. It doesn't make it easy for defenses to kind of break some of those playmaking options down. And we're seeing him find his teammate like Onyeko Kongu.

We've seen find DeAndre Hunter in the corner for that big three tonight over DeJounte Murray. So I think that's a big thing is that they're playing off the pass more. And when you have guys really willing to share the ball and Trey being a guy who can draw defenses away from the play, that will open things up for everybody else. That also contributes to a lot of

those guys having more assists but we saw trey have 15 assists tonight he had 22 in that first win over cleveland oh yeah um you know over his uh career high so i i think this is just the fact that they're playing unselfishly and a big part of that is trey trusting his teammates more to not only score but to make plays for each other i think that's kind of huge

And Trey actually had a very funny quote the other day. Well, maybe not necessarily funny, but intriguing quote maybe is that if hockey assists were a stat that the NBA track, he was like, I would probably have 20 a night. He would. That's and that's true.
