Sours fan here, i want to thank u ahead of time🤭
It's not ok that the #1 pick is the 10th best player on a team. Enjoy the show but I wouldn't classify that as "ok".
FIRE QUIN>>>>>NO LUKA….NO KLAY…..NO PROBLEM….FEEL SORRY for GM and NANCE….2 excellent 3 point shooters that can't get any pt!!!!! PLEASE trade NANCE to my CAVS!!!!!!!
OMG…the HAWKS play the CAVS twice!!!!!! What do you think….going to happen…LOL!!!!!!
HAWKS need a MAJOR kick in the butt…………FIRE QUIN!!!!!!!!!!! SO OVERRATED!!!!!!!!!
NANCE is BETTER than OO!!!!!!!! FACT!!!!
Hey Brad…you said OO has been pretty bad!!!! What does it take for NANCE to get pt??? A different coach is the answer!!!
It's been rinse and repeat for this team for years now. I thought Quinn would come in and make this team better defensively. As much as some hated Nate McMillian, this team hasn't played any semblance of defense since he was let go. So, the strategy of this team now and has been for recent years is to get into a playground high scoring game and hope you can out score the other team. (Which I guess is what the NBA has become really). And yes, Brad I know how you like to keep repeating how Trae is the best player on the team, but being the best scorer on the team doesn't make you the best player on the team. Being the best player overall calls for more. This team has no best players. Best players are consistent in the following areas: proven leaders, makes players want to play with them, get along with coaches, not bickering with refs but lead by example. Who on this team fits that description? Quinn is now looking like every recent Hawks coach before him, tired with no power and no answers. He and Trae can tell you what happened after a loss but neither has answers nor have shown they can make a team better. And yes, it's more than one person that contributes to a team becoming better but seeing that they both receive less criticism and derogatory comments and adjectives when they are bad, they should be responsible for making this team better. But hey, some hosts and management seem satisfied with mediocrity.
We need an elite center. Brad i got a take maybe a surprising one but like we should trade for Claxton a 6"11-7ft C dynamic who elevates trae's game and everybody else bc of his spacing what do u think?
Such an inexcusable loss, mavs on a back to back, no luka, klay, or Q grimes, we are fully healthy, and yet you give up every lead you have. I’ve watched all 82 games every season for 8 years and I genuinely can’t understand how our 3 point defense is this atrocious
I count 4 front court players since 2000 drafted by the Hawks who have gone on to be positive needle movers for the Hawks so far: J Smith, Horford, Collins, JJ.
Hey Brad…looking this BAD would be ALOT more tolerable if we had our own pick this year in the upcoming loaded at the top NBA draft!!! The PROBLEM is we don't have our own pick!!! SPURS fans have to be watching the HAWKS now more closely than ever!!!! AND YES!!!! The WIzards ONLY 2 wins of the year so far are against the HAWKS>>>>> How does Quin..still have a job!!! Team lacks urgency and FIRE!!
Brad, what is your honest opinion on Quin Snyder as a coach? If the team continues to stumble and lose games the same way over and over, that's not just a player issue but a coaching issue as well. His rotations are bad, his defensive inability to adjust is bad, and his misuse of players is bad. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Clint, OO, Bogi, Hunter, Kobe, and Quin gotta go
Quin is 🗑️
QUINN is stunting Kobe bufkin growth as a player running Jalen with the bench he’s a point guard spotting up in the corner while Johnson runs the offense they tryna make him a 3And D player
As i have commented on videos many times in the past. If we want to succeed trae has to be BY FAR and away the worst defender on the team. Right now bogi takes that title. The defense collapses every time he checks in. I know hes a great offensive player. But his defense is literally one of the worst showings in the league right now.
I forgot to mention i would keep larry Nance jr also he should be playing more, but Quin continues to not know how to use his bench or make adjustments.
I could coach these guys better than him.
How about having a plan for guys like Kyrie as you know he's going to go off he always does against us.
They need to apply more press on defense swift and help each other more start trapping and stop just playing man to man depending on Dyson Daniels to stop everyone defensively.
They are not good enough to play so much man to man defense.
Lastly we need some dogs in here the highlights are cool, but we need more grit and grind type players.
The coach is definitely the problem. I agree with the fans here. Coming from a Boston Celtics fan. I blame the coach, not the players at this point.
Honestly is it just me or does it seem like there's a dif offense being ran as of late? They got Trae out on the floor blending in for the most part having him be mainly just a facilitator and taking away his "ICE TRAE" offensive attack game..if they ain't hot and got their all-star getting buckets then the team will struggle plain and simple it's not rocket science. They gotta get that game back Trae will always be an elite facilitator either way🥶 💯
Larry Nance Jr. needs to back up Jalen Johnson at the power forward position. forget that crap about Nance being a center. Nance is 6 foot 8 . At 31 years old he can spread the defense and give you 12 to 15 mins a game.
hawk tuah
The Mavs and most of all Kyrie have had a sick bug going around the locker room so to lose to them like this is embarrassing. Especially after having the lead the entire game
Great ANALYSIS BRAD!
