He's played aggressive defense all game.  And when he gets beat, there's no one at the rim to help.

Dennis is not, and never will be, a lockdown defender.

I'm talking offensively.

And no point guards are good defensively today lol but you can not be stupid and spend so much time celebrating a dunk, albeit a cool dunk.

Oh . . no doubt that Dennis pulled a "Kobe" for most of the game.  He wasn't completely disengaged, but he definitely made a point to pass the ball around.  That's what the coach wants.  Ball movement, and for the open man to take the shot.

Prince:  1 - 7

Baze:  2 - 10

Bench outside of Collins:  3 - 12

 

Sometimes a coach just have to let his best players do their thing, system be damned.

I'd still like to know why John Collins is actually in a game that's over lol. Especially considering that he's probably not 100%.

I actually think KB21 may end up being right. Bud might resign after this season.

He's young and needs any game time to develop. Its not like he's a veteran on the court who doesnt learn a thing in garbage time.

Best worst shot ever.   No way that ball should've reached the rim.

Nice Christmas present.

It's just not worth the risk unless he's 100%. Maybe he worsens what's ailing him.

And as I say that, he goes out.

If Bud resigns I might resign too lol. I can't take much more BS from the Hawks.

Dennis with 9 seconds on the clock . . . . sizes his man up and takes him off the dribble for a layup

Delaney with 9 seconds on the clock . . .  freezes for 5 seconds, then tosses it to the PF 35 ft away, who passes it back to Delaney, who has to jack up a 30 footer.

But hey, at least he's +5 for the game right now.

That's elite technique, someone needs to show this video to Lonzo.

Pretty much looked like the Big baller shooting form

[nathan2331]

The Hawks better shut Drummond down now. I can handle him dominating us on the boards but him getting 10 assists is disrespectful.

Can someone tell me why Cavanaugh wasn't seeing any minutes until garbage time?

Well Cavanaugh can't guard Drummond and we had Ilyasova shooting well along with Collins taking up some minutes. If it weren't for Drummond I imagine he would have gotten Plumlee's minutes.

Coaching decision.

Or . . . tanking decision.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Just noticed on the schedule that the MLK day game was against the Spurs.  Why couldn't we get a quality game like that, when we were good?  We would always get stuck playing a Milwaukee or an Orlando or some other non playoff team.  But when we suck, we get the Spurs?

Dang.

....and that's where you are wrong.  You do not let players just do their thing.  That's how players, in particular young players, develop bad habits.  That's how AAU coaches coach.

Never seen a Hawks team with a defense this bad.    Smdh
