Go Hawks!
I feel like this team is 90% athletes and 10% basketball players, just watching it looks like no one has any basketball moves/skills if you know what I mean. We don’t have anyone like Joe Johnson, Lou Will or Gallo that were just pure basketball players.
A tale of two halves. Played great in the beginning but couldn’t finish in the end. They need to find some kind of consistency with rhythm in scoring during Trae’s absence.
Look at this. Without Trae, no magic and leadership on this team. Everyone is just playing. Also, without his scoring, each night, where's the team?Below average. And people for the last couple of years, wants to trade Ice Trae. That's like ,How the Falcons are after, getting rid of Matty Ice. Worse than when they had him.
Raptors have been a top 10 offense (7th in ppg and 3pt% I believe). Though that's a testament to how well the Hawks played defense, holding them to an inefficient 10+ points below their average.
LUKE was sorely missed in this game….terrible shooting from KP..OO..Dyson…JJ 6 to's??? Really hope that ONSI brings in a vet pt…because we DESPERATELY need one!!! PAYNE…please! or D.Wright/E.Payton
You're right Brad…it was OFFENSIVELY CHALLENGED…because we don't have a POINT GUARD!!!!!! ONSI….ONSI>>>>>Come on NOW!!!!
Michael Malone is available!!!! To play..in the 4th quarter…5 plus minutes without Dyson or NAW…is behind head scratching and UNACCEPTABLE! We're talking about the 4th quarter/clolsing time! That HUGE HEADSCRATCHER is TOTALLY on QUIN! NO.TRAE or LUKE…and he doesn't have either of your 2 best ball handlers on the FLOOR?????
Hey Quin….this can't happen on your home court! 25 pt differential!!!!!
Cavs and NY are the top tier in the EAST….BUT…..with all the HAWKS hype and" NO "healthy REAL pt guard…LET's do the MATH…ORL/DET/MIL are CERTAINLY top 6 potential playoff teams….the concerning part now is that BOTH MIAMI and TOR are more than just formidable…and to top it off..the BULLS…who have a REAL coach…are certainly in the mix…without mentioning the HAWKS….if my math is OK…then that's already 8 teams not named the HAWKS…in other words…are we now..if we don't get a pt while TRAE is out and or a COACH…are we possibly/seriously looking at a play-in team??? OPNSI can't allow that! NO pt for 6 weeks or so could seal the deal! URGENCY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! Don't like the way we're playing on our HOMECOURT as well!
BRAD…you KNOW….that you have REALLY QUESTIONNED QUIN's rotations and players usages A LOT this year! That's your job..and I'm glad you're saying it!
