  1. AD destroyed us and he's wasn't even suppose to play tonight.
  2. Ball movement without making shots is hard on the eyes as well.
  3. Kessler is not an Atlanta Hawk. Does Trae Young play for the Utah Jazz?
  4. If Kessler was here, he would start over OO and Capela If Edey is here, he would start over OO and Capela If Clingan is here, he would start over OO and Capela Just my take and I don't even think it's close. At the end of the day, OO isn't a starter for us, and Capela is washed. Games like this are vintage. He can go on tonight and put up another clunker. Obviously, you think differently.
  5. Vintage CC for sure. Our drop coverage was elite. CC and Bruno brought it on defense.
  6. We are dealing we too many injuries but there aren't a ton of holes on the roster You could make a strong case that we could have a better backup PG instead of Forrest but the reality is, it's Murray when Trae is healthy and that leaves no minutes for anyone else. We got a good SG rotation with Murray/Bogi/Kobe but Murray doesn't fit Trae so that's a priority. I've never been a fan of the Trae/Bogi backcourt ever as a starting crew. I like Bogi as 6th man. We got Bey/Hunter/Griffin but Bey will be out for the year so we need a replacement. I recommend Bogey on the Knicks for JC TPE. Hunter will get bulk mins but he's best off the bench. JJ is a stud. The entire FO and coaching staff raves about Gueye so it's hard to say backup 4 is a major issue but it's an issue. If Bey was healthy, we wouldn't have issues. Getting someone like Bogey who can play the 3 and 4 would help a ton. OO is a good player and an excellent backup but he hasn't played well this year outside of a short 5 game spurt in FEB. Capela washed although he has games like tonight where he's vintage CC. Bruno is a very good defensive player but offensively, it maybe time to head to Barcelona. Strengths: Shooting, Passing, Passion Weaknesses: Fit, Toughness, Size, Length. Positional flaws: PG: Backup PG and 3rd string PG SG: Fit with Trae as the starting SG is an issue. Could Kobe be the starting SG for next year??? SF: Starting SF is a glaring issue without Bey. PF: Backup 4 and 3rd string. JJ is locked in Center: OO has to get it back together as a backup 5. Starting 5 is a disaster. Capela has regressed but still has moments.
  7. JJ is different. He might be the first player we actually got right outside of Trae in terms of fits around Trae and he wasn't even a fit for anyone when we drafted him. That's hard work, being willing to look in the mirror and say, I ain't shit and I want to be the shit. What do I need to do and I am willing to work. JJ is that guy. He's really impressed me this year. I loved the talent out of Duke but we kicked him off the damn team. He was full of himself and to see him humble af. Man, I love this kid. To me, you got JJ. You got Trae. I am good with Hunter, Kobe, and Bogi off the pine. We just gotta figure out the 2 as a fit. Bey was a nice fit, sucks that he's out for a year. Murray is showing everyone that he's more impactful this year than Trae but none of that really matters if at best we are a .500 team with him at the helm. It's better he goes to a better team that gives him the keys. I came up with something like this. I did these three moves: For JC's TPE - Bogey, I couldn't find anyone else struggling that could help us and we just need someone to play 18-20MPG as Hunter can play 28-30MPG who can start. Bogey is also great at short movement so he replaces Bey to a degree and Quin has a relationship with him. He's been bad for the Knicks. Murray/SAC 1st for Alex Caruso/Carter/CHI 1st - Gives us a 2 guard that fits Trae. He needs a ball a tad more than I would like but he's really improved as an off-ball player. Defensively, he's exactly what we need next to Trae. Carter fills the backup PG role. Draft: Landed Flip and Edey since we had weaknesses at the 4 and 5. Trae/Carter/Forrest Caruso/Bogi/Kobe Bogey/Hunter/(Bey) JJ/Flip/Gueye Edey/OO/Capela who I would like to trade. As a 3rd big, Capela is top end so I can't get mad at it. If OO is hurt, it helps to have someone like Clint. You can go Edey/Knecht, Edey/Shannon, Flip/Edey, etc. Getting a wing plus a 1st or swap for SAC 1st depending on the quality of the wing for Murray is the best play for us. We need a SG that fits Trae and I would prefer a vet. We should use JC TPE for someone like Bogey since Bey is out and Bey needs to stay.
  8. Forrest attempts to run an offense. Vit just be passing the ball.
  9. Vit on a two way getting more PT than he got last year
  10. Time to put in the reserves. Wait, do we have healthy reserves
  11. I actually liked his defense this game. Part of the reason they came back. Mann was getting gashed.
