Go Hawks?
"Trade the midget," they said.
"We'll be better without him," they added.
"We'll have an elite defense," they pontificated.
Hawks are just bad
Hey Brad, what do you think happens to the lineup when Trae comes back? Are we really gonna bury Vit back on the bench after his breakout? I assume they may put some kind of minutes restriction on Trae to start, but I don't see that lasting too long. Could Kennard become a trade chip at the deadline?
The defense that was carrying us when Trae first left the lineup has really been disappearing. Also this whole Dyson being guarded like Ben Simmons thing just isn’t gonna work, Quin only gets mad if players don’t shoot but he allows Dyson to dribble around like a headless chicken without ever looking at the basket?
Choke with out trace.
Will Trae be back in a few weeks? Or next week
Kp clearly better than Okongwu who was -22
So many takeaways…don't know where to start!!!! On a positive note..The play of CJ/Sarr/Kispert…would have knocked out most NBA teams.! It was thier night. A loss is a loss…doesn't really matter the score!! and now the NEGATIVE…Hawks weren't competitive at the jump…that has to fall more than just a little on the COACH! Everyone talks about how we fleeced the Pels in that trade….right now early on D.Queen is superior to Asa(our coach barely plays him). What a diff between Zacch and Sarr as well. In conclusion i've been saying all year and will continue to..that PELS unprotected pick's real value will be on the trade market when Feb rolls around. The PELS aren't tanking…that pick will slowly get worse when other wanna be tankers join the bunch. We all like JJ..but if Giannis; which I'm hoping for wants out as they plummet in the standings, I would ABSOLUTELY include him in a package to get Giannis! That Pels pick and JJ would be the start of the package that the Bucks would want! Hoping Onsi turns that PELS pick into an NBA stud RIGHT NOW!!! Trust me Hawks fans..This team could look a lot different and BETTER after the Feb trade deadline. STAY TUNED! We have the AMMKO/assets to make it happen. Porz and Luke on expiring deals..we don't know what will happen to Trae. Don't give up the hope for this year because Onsi in this past off-season layed the groundwork for FEB to Happen!! He will have "OPTIONALITY."..SUPREME! Keep the faith in this year of the GETTABLE EAST!
Not at fan of that STUPID CUP as well. Players really don't care either..other than more $$$$
Thibs or M.Malone …would have had their teams ready! QUIN…hot seat…begins!
Why is OO not starting??????? QUIN????????
Hey Brad…an experienced NBA coach…challenging that play????????? HOT SEAT!
We may need to get a tough guy…like Dillon Brooks!…just saying!
This past summer…ONSI set the table…for a Feb trade deadline to remember! GET ready to EAT!!!!!!!!! OPTIONALITY!!!! That Pels pick/expirijng contracts/young talented players on team friendly contracts = SOOOOO MANY OPTIONS!!!!!!!!
JJ has to commit to the D side of things. He's too physically gifted not to! Play with an EDGE!
This is one of the worst hawks games I’ve seen in years, obvs that’s adding the context that we actually regardless of if Trae is in or not, had the better team and should not have lost this game. Getting blown by a team on a 14 game losing streak. Anyways we move
This is 100% coaching. Pre-game warms ups are a joke. I notice during warm ups our players are missing most of their shots. This year, we have started every game cold. Steph doesn't miss in warm ups, and neither do the other great players. Quin get control of these warm up drills.
Its a bad fame in November, no big deal. Theyre still a very young team and bad games happen. Stop acting like its the end of the season
Just here to pay respects to Brad after the last 10 hours of his mentions being a nightmare
