Go Hawks?
This one was very, very telling.
Hawks will put it together. But it’s looking rough.
Tough day for Atlanta sports
Idk if any 2 Hawks players ever have been more frustrating to watch than Cj and Jalen over the past 3 games. Cj is showing his worst tendencies as a shot chucker. As for Jalen, I’m convinced he’s either playing through an injury or going into games wasted. Because he just looks so slow and lethargic out there. Not to mention they’re both defensive negatives, especially Cj, and the offense comes to a halt half the time either of them touches the ball (because Cj just does super unnecessary isos, and Jalen holds onto the ball for 5 seconds before he decides to either shoot a contested 3 or do that weak hesi of his).
That’s all for my rant. I’m probably over exaggerating, but this Hawks team is just so unbelievably frustrating and inconsistent. It’s gotten to the point where I’m honestly more interested in watching Pelicans and Bucks games lol
#BlameTrae
NOBODY on this roster should be considered untouchable regarding trades. Quin needs to go also.
Rebounding snd Rim protection is and has always the REAL PROBLEM!!!
It's time to finally accept that we are bad this season. I'm talking same conversation as N.O., Indian etc bad. Brad, Quinn hasn't given reason to believe he can perform with more talent next year. The team doesn't fully buy in to what he's pushing.
They gave up that many points after trading the WORST defender in league…
How will Quin and Onsi explain this loss?
That Trae Young Trade is going to haunt these Atlanta Hawks for a very long time. They did that man dirty after 7 years.
What’s Taylor Jenkins up to these days? JJ hasn’t been balling for over a month. I’m not even sure if he’ll make the all star reserves at this point.
Brad, I ask last year without answer. If it's not possible I certainly understand, but if could let me know which coach is mainly responsible for our defensive scheme ?
I still say the same thing I've said the last 3yrs repeatedly. The defensive scheme were using is definitely one of the worst in the league. There are def some player deficiencies starting with OO as he's one of the worst centers in the league defending the screen & roll. Anytime he's involved it basically gives the opponent a 5 on 4 for a few seconds and destroys any chance of the wing defenders doing there job competently. In fact almost any screen set against us breaks the whole scheme of the defense down. Not sure if there's a stat that can measure this but if there is pretty sure it would back this up.
Brad…before I listen to the pod….Coaches get fired for different reasons….what is happening at HOME is TOTALLY and COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! ONSI…now…on top of a couple of NECESSARY MOVES before the deadline…has to FIRE QUIN…to send a RESOUNDING message to his players…that NO MORE of this CRAP will continue! Thibs or Malone…PERIOD!!! JJ now is the face of the franchise and he needs to understand PRONTO…what is Hawks' BASKETBALL! The players have clearly shut out Quin!!! This can still be salvaged…right now it's about getting into the post season in the VERY GETTABLE EAST!! Our win/loss record for the reg season is going to be disappointing…but that's NOT what we're playing for now. ONSI…PLEASE right the ship!
Brad…GLAD you said that about the PT…for JJ and OO in the 4th quarter????!!!!!!!! What the h…was that???? Gotta believe that ONSI watching that is FUMING!!!!!!! QUIN has to go…NOW!!!!!!!!
Wasnt this being hyped as the Hawks year and a down year for Boston?
Thank God we traded Trae!
Right ? Right??????
Oh wait
#BetterWithoutTrae, right guys…..right…? 😂😂😂😂
Hire Raheem Morris
The Hawks need to re-set around scouting and player development first and foremost. It's been clear for years that Ressler has no interest in paying the tax, and the organization struggles to get high level FA. On the coaching front, Quin's a smart guy but he hasn't shown himself to be adaptable to the trends in the NBA.
Some the worst defense i have ever seen in my life.
What's up with Jalen he has been looking like John Collins before they traded him these last three game.
Why can’t no one consistently make wide open shoots on the Hawks?
They should be practicing shooting 500 shoots a day.
If that was me i wouldn't even be able to sleep playing that bad.
