Totally true. On all accounts. Heh.

They traded for Prince in the last draft.

The Hawks are more likely to trade up again. They have two 2017 2nd round picks and a 2018 1st round pick incomming. Not to mention their own 1st round pick.

Every week it's like a therapy session arround here. Time to move on... Seriously...

It's Hawks game day! Yay!

Sap isn't the problem. But he has always been just a bit undersized for a PF. If he dropped a bit of weight he could play SF.

The Rapturds might just make the finals this year.

Damn Hawks. Where is the D-Fence? I still think the Hawks need to make a run at Ibaka in free agency amd move Sap to the wang.

Nice win by the Hawks. Clearly Howard and Sap can coexist and it's only going to get better. I think we will see a lot more games like this from Howard as the season progresses. Hawks need to get their 3-pointers to fall. This game would have been a blowout had they made just a few more. The team gets a bit of a break after Friday's game so hopefully they can use the time to get some rest but also hit the practice court and just work on running sets until they are 2nd nature.

The Hawks are 1 and 9 in the last 10 games and I still think this is absolute crap.

Baze needs to slow it down. Been saying this since the start of the season. He needs to make sure he is set before taking the shot. Work on that first and then slowly work on speeding up the shooting motion.

Rough loss. Hawks need some time to regroup. They have a few days between a games after December 9th. Hope they can make the most of it.

Sir, I respectfully disagree. Howard's post game is very good. The problem is a lot of teams double him or have help defense close enough that he cant get his shot off before they rotate over. The Hawks know this and try to keep the opposition honest but that is difficult when the rest of the team cant buy a bucket.

I think that is the direction they are trying to go. Prince has seen increased minutes but he's also a rookie and not ready to start. If Prince improves enough this season then we could see him start and Baze moved to the 2 with Kyle off the bench. It is going to take some time though.

The whole team is terrible on offense right now. It's unfair to place blame on a single player.

So, Splitter has to be getting close to playing again, right?

Hawks are in a bit of a shooting slump right now. Looks like they really miss Thabo as well. Timmy Jr continues to play well though, which is promising.

Hawks had trouble scoring in the 4th. Besides that they played a good game.

This game will test the defense of our guards. Should be a good one.

I'd like to see him play as well. Although I think it will take a couple of weeks for him to get back into a groove.

I think his shooting has been really good. At some point this season he is going to go bezerk from 3.

Aahahaha.

I hope this thread stays on the front page until the playoffs.

Dennis is fine. I want to see Delaney catch on fire from 3. He can clearly shoot so it will happen at some point.

The only two things I want to see out of this game is improved team chemistry and lock-down defense.
