Can't believe it, I'm watching the Hawks on YoutubeTV for the first time in like 4 years lol. Hopefully they continue this.

I definitely question playing Bey over Bogi in the clutch. Dont agree with it.

Love to see Trae back to himself. This version of Trae is a star who can knockoff anyone in the playoffs. Elite scoring and passing.

This team sucks. At this point I'm open to a Siakam rental, and if we have to pay him 50+ million. He may improve our team marginally, but we need to make a lot of moves, our defense is just terrible.

We have no problem scoring. We have issues on defense. Does Siakam improve our D?

Wow. This is a travesty. How do you leave a guy wide open under the basket. He was standing there wide open for like 5 seconds.

Your point is valid. I should have focused on the message of allowing players to shoot better than their averages. They had 5 guys shooting pretty well above their average while scoring above their average. Regardless it was a horrendous defensive performance. Guess I was just ranting a bit.

Just look at these FG% from all the Spurs yesterday. These guys are scrubs. Letting 5 average players go off and shoot above their season average FG% (while scoring more points than their average) is attrocious. Sochan 12-14 (45% season avg) Johnson 8-15 (47% season avg) Wemby 9-16 (43% season avg) Champagne 5-8 (39% season avg) Vassell 8-14 (50% season avg) 1 scrub going off is an outlier, you let 5 scrubs go off it's a problem.

Opposing teams get a layup or wide open 3 on virtually every possession. Someone pump fakes and blows by the defender, everyone collapses and they kick for an open 3. EVERY time. It's just so simple, pump fake and as soon as someone bites you go by them, then the whole defense dies. We fall for it every time. Guys turn their head away from their man when helping and their man relocates and is completely wide open. It's pitiful. I just don't see how we don't show them film to fix. These are very basic fundamentals on defense. Stop leaving your feet on pump fakes, box out when a shot goes up. I'm almost to the point where we shouldn't even try to help on defense except for Capela or OO, just stay on your man instead of collapsing to let them kick out to wide open 3's all game. Being this bad defensively is already horrific, but when they actually do miss we can't rebound. We have to score 140 to win games and even still might lose.

Defense is just awful. Needed a heculean effort by trae on offense to beat the Spurs by 2. We are going ti lose a lot of games unless we can clean that up.

Definitely don't want to rebuild. Teams go from middle of the pack to top 4 all the time, many times a team is one or 2 moves away. Rebuilding is a bad decision IMO. What if that next young star you draft only ends up as a top 20-25 player? Then you are middle of the pack again, but it takes 5 years to find out the true ceiling of many of these players. It's so hard to get a top 5 player it's not worth it. Now if we were the 2022 Blazers where our stars are in their mid 30s, then yes I would rebuild.

Official Game Thread: Hawks at Cavaliers -- IST Game #4
AtLaS replied to lethalweapon3's topic in Homecourt
It's another season where if we don't score 130+ we will lose. Sometimes we will lose even if we do. Murray and Trae are so inconsistent shooting. It's rare they are both on at the same time. Murray was hot early in the season and Trae was not, then Trae picked it up and Murray started struggling. The same thing happened last year. -
Um why do we take capela out there for trae on D. Thats a terrible decision. And of course they drive the the basket and get the tip in offensive rebound.

It sucks not being able to get stops. And when we get a stop we cant get the rebound. Never going to win like this.

Stop doubling hali in the backcourt. Double him when he crosses half court. -

This is like the all star game. Noone missing anything -
He just needs to fix his shot. If he can get back to his career averages I'll be quiet. If he was shooting career average we'd probably be 8-4 or better right now.

Agreed. You gotta think most all the young stars on rookie contracts plus most of the players in the top 25. Guys super old like LeBron I wouldn't trade him for. It kills me to say it b/c Trae is my favorite player, and i want nothing more than for us to be successful with him but if he can't fix his shot it's never going to work. The more I think about DJ at the point with another 2-way type 2 guard makes us a much bigger lineup, much better defensively and rebounding. Think about someone like Jalen Brown and DJM as the starting backcourt. We will lose some passing for sure though. Not that I think we'd be willing to pay for that contract but the fit would be incredible.

Lol Hunter gets another rebound ripped out of his hands Trae still cant shoot at all. -
Don't know why Bogi isn't in the game. He's been our best player tonight.

OMFG Hunter has never once come up with a loose rebound if someone else gets their hands on it. Leads to a Brunson 3. You have to be kidding me.
