  1. That's interesting! What ended up happening with the athlete?
  2. Man, I really, really wish Gueye wasn't out right now. Even with Quin, he might have been given minutes with all the injuries to our bigs.
  3. Excellent win! Kept their composure and won it in bonus time. Great game OO - but man are you such a tease! Gain some consistency and you truly could be an integral part of a winning Hawks team in the future instead of being a major disappointment so far this year. A historic night from Steph just wasn't enough. Let's keep it pushing!
  4. I hear ya. Thing is, Luka is on an undeniable Hall of Fame track. Trae? It’s debatable.
  5. My patience is wearing extremely thin with Quin. Do I think he's better than Nate, yeah. But he better start being more flexible with his player personnel decisions (i.e. giving meaningful minutes to guys like Bufkin and AJ and less so to never-was-beens like Forrest, Mathews, Matthews and Patty Mills) for this team to really excel once we get more talent in here. And be more flexible with the rotations! It's OK to play a big lineup, Quin. Seriously, did the big lineup take your lunch money or something? Ultimately this team needs more talent to elevate from "mid status" into contender status. Neither Quin, Pop or Phil Jackson were ever going to change that. Trae, Murray, and JJ are not enough as bonafide blue chips. The rest of the cast is either good to have but not invaluable (Bogi, Capela, Bey), underperforming (OO, AJ), injured and underperforming (Hunter), or just current or should-be-bench pieces (basically everyone except Trae, Murray and JJ). That's nowhere good enough. However, I have strong concerns that we will be held back, or said another way - our team success won't be optimized - if Quin doesn't become more flexible when and if we do finally get some contending-team worthy talent.
  6. While I strongly feel that we are a better club with Quin than Nate, I definitely don't give Quin a pass. There are too many things he and this team do (or don't do) that are giving me pause. That said, I definitely don't see him getting a free pass around here. Unlike Nate, Quin hasn't been with the team a full year yet. But, he needs to do a better job just as much as the players and GM do.
  7. Still trying to get over that we were up 135-120…15 points…with just 3:21 left in the game, yet it came down to the last shot. Boy do we need some defenders in the worst way.
  8. What shameful play in the 4th quarter...again.
  9. I'm glad games are only 4 quarters, because if there was a 5th...we'd probably go on to lose this one.
  10. Whooo boy. Up 18 at halftime only to lose like this. Team isn’t worth the increasingly declining interest I have remaining in them.
  11. Meh, it is what it is.
  12. F them picks! Did I do it right? Seriously though, depends on what retaining Bey may look like.
  13. My word, that was exhausting. Feels like I need a smoke after this. And I haven’t smoked a thing in my life.
