If Jalen Johnson dunked more and made his free throws he’d score 40 a night. Too many floaters, layups, & missed 3’s. Despite this his numbers were really good. Risachier played better than he has been playing in the last five games. If walker was our sixth man he could be our Jamal Crawford. Start CJ at PG and Daniels at SG. Just to give the second unit more consistency.
I’m just curious, does anyone want Dan Quinn gone? I like him, but I also like Sam Cassel and Mark Jackson.
Onsi has lifted the Hawks roster to a level not necessitating questionable lineups at best, yet we still see the most baffling ones every game. Why? Proud of the guys pulling & playing together with effort and composure for a much needed road win
Go Hawks!
Lineup of:
McCollum
Alexander-Walker
Daniels
Johnson
Okongwu
Off rtg: 123.0
Def rtg: 103.7
Net rtg: 19.2
Not a huge sample size but so far this closing lineup is🔥
JJ has to punish defenses like this every night. Him getting to the FT line not only stabilized the Offense. It got Philly in foul trouble and kept them in the bonus.
It also allowed the Defense to set too.
He basicly controlled the flow of the game by driving the ball and forcing the Officials to do their job even though they wanted to swallow their whistles.
I wonder if there was a league-wide directive to call more fouls, because I just got done watching Clippers vs Nuggets 4th quarter, and those teams shot easily more than 30 free throws combined in just that quarter. If there was, I think it should favor the Hawks, we typically get shafted on offense.
