I just turned this on and WTF.
-
Thanks @Sothron. Kind of ties together with your coaching rumors. I think both are right, I hate our offense. Trae has to get better defensively, mainly more consistent effort. This sounds like two stubborn people going at it and refusing to meet in the middle.
-
This thread was posted an hour ago and we are almost at three pages on a non game day lol.
-
You are a little too excited about this lol. Bad look by Trae, but it seems like there is more to this.
-
The thing is he probably finally put the most recent summer rumors behind him for it to only rear its ugly head again.
-
I bet something centered around Joe Harris because we can’t shoot. Funny though, because neither can he this year. Just a guess though. (This part is not intended to reply to you JTB, I just saw your post when I came to reply to the topic). At some point this stuff has to start wearing down on JC. He started the season strong, had a couple of decent games, then the rumors came out (again) and you see him pressing. I get the fact they make money, but they are human beings too. JC is a loyal guy and this has to constantly wear down on him mentally. I wish we would stop treating the guy like this and commit to him or trade him just to get this over with.
-
Seriously, they get so detailed about stuff lol. If I was somebody in the media I’d be sure to ask the important questions. Cavities or a root canal? What tooth number is it? Was it Thanksgiving dessert related?
-
Or the patience and ball movement to make it happen, but agreed.
-
@lethalweapon3taking the high road lol. I always imagined you going through the game threads and shaking your head (in a dimly lit office overlooking the city) at the people complaining about the game. “If they would have read my notes and stories they would have seen this coming.”
-
Mavericks were better without Luka last year, or it was very close. Either way, I’m sure the league is hoping they get the Hawks when Trae is healthy instead of hurt lol.
-
If you want to talk about the potential based on the bottom of the roster, maybe, but still a no. I feel like we get these types of posts over the years when we assume we are deep. Our young guys and even top players have a lot to prove. Very talented team, but we are young (even our top guys) and have a lot to work on. It’s definitely an exciting roster though!
-
Okay, I know I’m way more positive than a lot of folks around here and don’t have the basketball acumen some of you do..but I’m very impressed with this guy. Especially coming out as somebody labeled as an athletic shooter. He has an advanced feel for the game on the offensive end, he’s just so smooth and in control out there. He is confident and with his frame (especially at his young age) should be a plus defender if he just stays healthy. It’s way too early but I’m thrilled with what we have seen so far. Not all great players come from the lottery!
-
Are you putting Horford on here for how he did us? Matthew D. is still in the league, so I would have to put him in there too.
-
Going off of memory, but I feel like you and others were worried about his shooting, mainly threes. Small sample size for sure, but I’ve been impressed so far.
-
Exactly! Nash might have struggled, but the antics of Kyrie and KD didn’t help. As an Atlanta fan, there are a lot of players that I hate because of their success against our teams. These guys get my hate because they think they are better than the game, team, etc. Small rant over.
-
I think both of them are crazy for the record lol.
-
Didn’t agree with Kyrie’s views of the world I guess.
-
For all of you on the get ride of Nate train, I hear the logic. Maybe Quinn Snyder is waiting it out to see if he can return to Atlanta? Or is he going to have the same issues with our squad.
-
Well I was mainly kidding to go with the season being make or break in 5 games, but yeah, early season numbers do always look crazy. I was looking at the box scores from yesterday's games and saw Luka has a PER of 42.78 lol.
-
Crazy night in store for us! Can you imagine if the Bucks lose, and 2-6 all win? That'd be a 6 way tie for the #1 seed in the East, no idea how they will handle that tiebreaker. Charlotte has the tiebreaker against us, so if we lose we might wind up being in the play-in tournament. A lot on the line for us tonight, definitely want to get a better seed for the playoffs after what happened last year. I checked in on StubHub and tickets are only $20.00 (plus $43.00 in fees) if anybody is feeling bold enough to go support our Hawks.

2022-23 NBA Season Has Officially Started: Notes/Tidbits/Updates etc.
cam1218 replied to JayBirdHawk's topic in Homecourt
I think a lot of it has to do with young/bad teams having more energy and excitement to start the season. Come January when the constant travel isn't as fun, the minutes/nagging injuries add up, the loses start piling on top of each other they start to hit that lull and are more prone to go through the motions instead of playing hard every night. Once the season is almost over, they will turn it back on again to "head into the summer on a good note" or whatever they want to call it. -
This can apply to the last couple of seasons too. So many times we just pass and shoot either a contested three or just one that has no offensive rhythm to it when things aren’t going well. You felt better with the likes of Bogi, Gallo, and Huerter making those opposed to what we have now, but it was still forced with them too. I agree that it will take time for us to gel, but I hate seeing lazy offense like that when we have other opportunities to exploit a defense.
-
I get it they want everyone to look happy, but I always find it funny that it looks like the players are heading off on a week vacation to somewhere nice. Nope, just Detroit lol.
-
I wish they would have been more upfront with Bogi. If you say he is going to be ready at the start of the season, we kind of expect that. That said, he said he is pain free and I’m fine with not rushing him back based on a previous timeline we were given. I’d rather see Bogi play 55+ games in a row without an injury than to rush him back just to play.
-
That first bit was classic. He is tall, that must be him! Thanks as always @lethalweapon3!
