  1. May sound crazy but I'm starting Bruno in the play in and playoffs. Bring Clint off the bench. But Brunos energy and activity is an asset.
  2. It looked bad but he wasn't limping much once he got up. Hopeful for the best.
  3. Heat with 30 pts in the 1st and 29 in the 2nd. Shooting 56% and winning the TO battle 8-4. I thought we were supposed to have a good D now? Miami ain't exactly a killer Offense.
  4. Nice moves from Bruno.
  5. Get in. Get the 8 seed. Have fun watching the bos fans lose their minds when Hawks win a few games. That's my plan anyway.
  6. Seems to me that for those who don't like him, nothing he did or will do will ever be good enough to sway your opinion. And if you do like him, it's easy to see his dominance and the things he does really well and use that to justify liking him. He's that polarizing prospect that has a lot of fans and a lot of haters and not much in the middle, imo.
  7. I still don't get the hesitation with Edey. If he would juat catch and go he would be nearly unstoppable.
  8. UCONN plan is to run Edey out the building and pull away late. Seems to be their strength anyway. Will be interesting to see how Edey handles it in the 2nd half.
  9. I also wonder how much better he can be if he's only playing 28-30 min a game instead of 38-40 he's playing now.
  10. It feels like Edey could block every shot attempt in the paint if he wants to. Half the time he doesn't even contest, but when he does....woo boy. Block party. And offensively, I've see enough different moves to believe he's not solely a post up player with one move. He's been impressive. Maybe too impressive for the Hawks.
  11. Yeah...the sugar coating gets old sometimes. I'm ok with a little homerism on the hometown broadcast, but they take it too far sometimes. Just call a spade a spade and say they gettin their asses kicked.
  12. Well at least they are better defensively. Only allowed 111 points on 60%+ shooting. In. Three. Quarters.
  13. Jokic also missed a couple of bunnies. What a scrub.
  14. He seems to get the ball and gather every time before going into his drop and shot. I can invision a lot of steals if he takes that much time in the NBA. Needs to catch and go. Or catch and send it outside. Quick decisions are going to be his friend because it takes a sec to get his big body going.
  15. Didn't we have the same issue with Nate? Maybe it's just a vet coach thing?
  16. Good stuff. Loving hearing these dudes talk life and how much they love each other and their teammates. Reassuring that the media garbage is just that...garbage. Interesting things: When they adamantly stated they are both PGs (and not the GMs or Coaches) Bruno being the guy that plays hardest in practice ("gotta work for them minutes") Pop's text to DJ after the C's game. LOL Trae saying he gotta play D in order to come at guys for not playing D
  17. Imagine the Hawks drafting a guy that most said was too small to be successful in the NBA. Imagine the Hawks drafting a guy that most said was too big to be successful in the NBA. Now imagine the two of them dominating the NBA for years. Hawks would be the most hated team in the NBA. LOL
  18. Starters: 58 pts on 61 shots 15 ast / 19 TOs 8-27 from 3pt Putrid offense. Defensively, good effort. Very fortunate that Dallas missed a ton of wide open shots.
  19. In traffic for sure. He's ok coming up the floor if no one is guarding him.
  20. Given up 93 through 3. Ungood. -5 in 3pt makes and -7 in FGA overall. -5 in TOs
  21. This just underscores the thought that we desperately need to upgrade the center position either through the draft or trade. I always liked Clint, but he's lost a step and, to me, cannot be trusted to be elite consistently. It's like that old country song......"I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was." That's Clint.
  22. I love it. I would probably feel differently if the Hawks were consistently Top 6 in the East, but as is, I'll take it. Wouldn't trade the last 2 year's postseason games for sitting at home watching other teams play. The Play In has given the Hawks an opportunity to get to the postseason 3 times now. I'll take it.
  23. I don't think it's a stretch to say that he and Bogie have been the two most valuable players to the Hawks this year. And while Trae is still the best player on the team, it may not be long before JJ takes that mantle from him. He ain't there yet, but you can see the talent just oozing from him.
