Brad is it effort or more schematic, or both? whichever It's absolutely terrible to watch man, I've been b*tchin about it more than 2yrs now and I'm just fed up with this crap!!!!!!!!!!
If another team scores from an in-bound pass under the basket again, head coach has to go.
Been a while since the legendary basketball on the moon game was mentioned before today
Trae makes everyone’s life easier on offense but harder on defense. Dyson makes everyone’s life easier on defense but harder on offense. Deadass like the perfect balance bro im sick
This was absolutely terrible coaching… I still have no clue how we are putting some of the lineups on the floor we are. Now that teams have film of these terrible defensive lineups, they are destroying them… Every one of them…
Thank you for your work, Brad. Can't be easy after this kind of loss.
Outside of on paper, none of these lineups are working. They’ll maybe get a little better thru the regular season. But ultimately this team is getting blown up come off season time. I’ve seen enough
I think there has been a scheme adjustment to reintegrate Trae into the offense that has turned us into a worse team. Not blaming Trae just stating the current facts. Im only interested in the history of this season, dont care about historical number comparing this season to 2024, 2023, 2022… This season they have proven they can be a top 10 defense and that has equaled wins for them, dont care about unlocking the offensive ceiling of this team if it doesn’t equal wins. Traes career is starting to mirror a better version of Kemba walker.
The hawks front office is not getting enough heat, they have whiffed on 40 million worth of players in the offseason, they have an open roster spot and an open 2 way spot.
The roster construction is critically flawed and the front office is sitting on their hands.
Thanks for re-watching this game so we did not have to.
Go Hawks!
The basketball on the moon as I recall was a loss to the pacers and then more moonball in a against Brooklyn. I went to both of those games, and it's good to know at last that I am not the one who brings about the moonball curse.
Trae got hurt at the wrong(right) time. Thats just facts. Trae can play as hard as he can, its over. Naw cant sit on the bench while we give up 150 in 4 qtrs.
Trade tear and oneeya then fire snyder
Ever since Trey Young came back now ATL taking L's trade him we can't win with him
The mediocrity of this team makes it really hard as a fan to keep watching. Every game feels like a do or die and every game feels winnable except the few blow outs. Then we will look at the record at the end of the season sitting at .500 and as the 8th seed thinking “well maybe a charlotte win and bulls win and a wizards win and we could’ve been the 6th seed”. We are so tired man
Dyson Daniels needs to come off the bench. He's not good enough on offense.
This was simply put terrible coaching. Snyder's lineups are terrible and teams are taking advantage. No coordination on defense. Hes been here long enough for me to say he needs to get fired immediately, and onsi NEEDS to make roster changes, we have 2 open roster spots and we are playing awful, why? Would a 2 way player at the very least not help us?
I just love when to bulls beat the hawks. We have had y'alls number for the past 4 years. I got to every hawks v.s bulls game since I live here. Hope we get another one on Tuesday.
