What FO has to hire Chris Grant... Honestly I think they are just plain rookies and have no idea how to do the other 80% of the job (they can resign players and talk about trades)

I nominate you. When can you start

Has defensive body control and was active there, got one 3 pointer, deferred to Trae and DJM most of the time.

You could tell Bufkin was deferring to DJ or Trae.. It's totally understandable as a lead guard rookie to do that when he gets big game action.

Great win.. needed this one against the feisty rockets

JJ beast mode again

JJ keeps doing JJ things

Same.. I want to see OO keep his roll going and Bufkin get some confidence

Hawks with the tired legs

Kobe! Quin reads this board confirmed

It really does.. I would question our coaching staff big time if they don't give OO 30+ minutes the rest of the way to at least get primed for starting next year. I love CC and what he has been for us but the transition to make CC be a big rebounder off the bench like Drummond needed to start months ago.

Love this.. It's pretty clear.. the question does our coaching staff agree with the facts

What I would do probably is a lot different than what we actually will see which is a major problem.

Is this PER 36? Clint gets more rebounds but that doesn’t matter if he just blows the putbacks The point of my posts are Clint wastes at least 3-4 rebounds by blowing the putbacks clint can still collect but that’s about it you guys aren’t understanding that the # of rebounds purely means nothing anymore.. The same reason Drummond got benched years ago

The more mpg he plays -> the more confidence he gets -> the better he gets -> elite

This is one of my major points... This is becoming a major issue with Capela getting big minutes. He should have learned to kick the ball out. He doesn't have the hops anymore to get the ball in correctly except using a hook.

Yeah but also it's been proven that he should start via statistics.. I'm stating that it is so obvious the only excuse to start Capela over him is political. That could be the same reason the kids aren't playing. That is ridiculous too. Team rebounding is more important than individuals. Also, the lineup +/- tells a better story than individual aspects of the game.

Also.. notice the lineups this year: https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/advanced?TeamID=1610612737&dir=D&slug=advanced&sort=MIN LINEUPS TEAM GP MIN OFFRTG DEFRTG NETRTG C. Capela - D. Murray - T.

ONYEKA IN THE STARTING LINEUP GETTING MOST MINUTES Our most played lineup.. the one where Hunter has been out... IS A BAD NEGATIVE! If Quin goes back to Capela in the starting lineup, this is an egregious offense.

Should be starting from now on... The game log proves he can fill stats and make an impact beyond what Clint does if he gets starter minutes (30+ per game). https://www.espn.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/4431680/onyeka-okongwu I love having Trae, Jalen, and Onyeka as starters.. he needed this confidence and we would probably be in a better spot at this point. TBH, this was a big mistake by Quin and company. Not sure if it had to do with Fields/Korver but OO was ready to get starter minutes from the get-go this year. Onyeka may not be a crazy stationary big or a outrageous roll guy but his 3 point shooting will develop like Al Horford and Brook Lopez, starting centers of the top teams in the east. One thing that doesn't get talked enough is both are good defensive rebounders... BUT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM... CLINT FUMBLES THE PUTBACKS TOO MUCH.. Watch the games and you'll see this!

Pretty sure the squawk collective could run the Hawks FO better.. we need a hostile takeover

Landry also admitting that DJM doesn't work with Trae is such bad PR. Why man why

We really do. I think June-July is do or die for this regime.

If we aren't gonna buy players or spend more money, don't play useless vets.. play young kids... I'M SICK OF IT... PLAY THE F'N KIDS MAN WE AREN'T WINNING GAMES WITH WES MATTHEWS, METH BOGI, OR PATTY CAKE MILLS so let's get on with it.. nothing to lose.

Agreed there... The expected response was: "We love Trae, he is a core part of this team"

Not only that but ignoring the blatant terrible defense we have... We've always had great offense... CURRENTLY #3 Defense: CURRENTLY LAST
