    No doubt. there's just been so much unstable-ness about this season. 13 games without Trae isn't something I'm going to base my franchise decisions on.

    Wow. I like Clifford and he has been a really good coach in this league. I was shocked to learn he's only 5 years older that Quin though.

    We've won 13 games without Trae and half of those wins were against tanking teams or teams missing their top players. So based on those 13 games we're going to make the judgement that the team is better without Trae? Let's get real here.

    But the record is not over .500 when Jalen is out. That's the point.

    I'll admit to being critical of Garrison a lot but it's pretty obvious why he is playing. Now that things have regressed to the mean it exposes that we are a very average 3 point shooting team. These are the top 4 who also happen to be 4 of the best teams in the league Boston has 4 guys >40% and 6 guys shooting better than Bogi from 3.

    If you want to just talk wins and losses the obvious issue, pointed out numerous times, is the lack of PF depth on this team. When JJ plays we're a .500 team. When he doesn't we're below .500. Regardless of whether Trae or DJ or both are available.

    It would be a classic Hawks move to choose the guy with a stretch of a few months of elite play over a guy with 5 years.

    The reason Bruno, Vit and Mathews have been valuable is because they learned the system and what Quin wants out of them. The same can be said for post injury Hunter. OO was starting to get there when he got injured. Bey the same. We started the season with no depth and a whole new system. It was going to take some time and then injuries happened. But we're 10-9 since the all star break despite missing 4 rotation players for much of it. We have obviously started playing much better regardless of personnel. But the fact that we can have 'third stringers' step in and hold their own when needed is a sign of good coaching. We should remember that from the Bud days.

    The increase in hustle on defense has been noticeable the last couple months. Also the league stopping the ticky tack crap has helped us tremendously.

    As much as i don't like Trae/DJ on the defensive end it could work so much better than what we've seen offensively. When we are playing with a lead, just feed DJ this mid ranger all day long. When you can afford to trade baskets it just keeps us ahead.

    Why'd they wait almost 3 weeks for it? maybe that's normal?

    This is a lot of game winners for Murray in one season. Pretty damn impressive.

    This is so great.

    Honestly i can't wait to see Trae play with Bruno. We haven't really seen that this year.
  15. macdaddy
    Guy's like Bruno, Vit and post injury Hunter were hungry and had the ability and comfort with the scheme to find their place. It's been beautiful to see. Honestly Capela has been much better since he got back into game shape too.

    What are our center targets if we move on from one of our current. Looking around the league it's hard to see any that would be attainable. Nic Claxton, Nick Richards, Mitchell Robinson?

    I don't know what you're talking about. I'm only 21 years old. I can barely remember Prince being a Hawk. Or wait, maybe it's, i'm so old that i've forgotten most of what i knew. Like I've never heard of 'Baze gaze'.

    How am i just becoming aware of this classic.

    Let's do this!

    Temperature check: some folks still in the Quin Snyder sucks camp?

    Wow a 2 page game thread! That's got to be a record. I missed it. So is it worth watching?
  23. macdaddy
    Have to do that before moving on to straight line finger painting.

    Re-watched the second half. Refs must hate Tatum with all the whining and complaining he does. Great win. We're getting some inspired play by some guys. Great to see.

    If you're going to make this case you also have to admit that our big improvement in defense is more to do with this change than Trae being off the court. They changed the rules of the game to stop Trae going to the line 2 years ago. It didn't impact his production.
