Trae tried to build a skyscraper with that bricked 3.

Prediction:

Hawks 109

Grizz 80

We shock the world ? in the preseason!

Trae and Collins show

Trae : 32 points 11 dimes 3 boards

Collins: 20 points 15 rebounds 3 dime

Carter : 15/3/2

Baze : 11/4/3

 

I dunno ??‍♂️ that’s what happened in 2k for me just now! Trae nailed 8 tres.. 4-4 ft and a +22. I could play 173 straight hours of this. Video games have advanced since my double dribble kid years...wow ? 

Man, this would have been nice but it seems like the opposite 

[NBASupes]

That was a sespense out of 2k. Nasty pass and poster

[Vol4ever]

Totally out of control, bunch of 1 on 1 stuff.  We look summer league

[bleachkit]

Our rookies were a combined 3 for 13 from 3. Why do guys get to the NBA and suddenly forget how to shoot?

[JayBirdHawk]

24 Turnovers, 22 assists, 65 combined fouls...ugly sloppy game.

Dorsey played really well. 6 rebounds - impressive.

Spellman is a ball of energy.

Bembry with 5TOs - no goody.

Len needs to be stronger with the ball in the paint, gets 

This pass by Trae to Plumlee, he welcomed that guy to the NBA......but the Griz bench reaction, priceless.

He missed a ft and got his own board I was like wait..what..

[High5]

Spellman is a lot of fun to watch. Huerter looks like he needs to spend a ton of time in the gym before he can really contribute. 

[Spud2nique]

Hey @Gray Mule Gramps,

Thought this was a stat that you always post for us and applies here. We lost 120-110 and we missed 12 free throws, we hit those we win ? 

FT Made-Attempted

20-32   62.5%

 

? 

Last time I checked they were free and I know it’s preseason and you might not want to dive into the stands for a loose ball ? to prevent injury but hit these at least 80%.

 

LETS GO HAWKS!!!

 

 

 

[Spud2nique]

Sorry stay didn’t show

20-32 ft 62.5 % ?

Huerter has not looked good so far, he might need to go to the G league,

Guy hasn’t played ball all summer..def need to send him to the g league to get his legs up under him

[Gray Mule]

SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE GAME:

Jeremy Lin showed that he hadn't played in a long time.  Moved slowly.

Alex Len showed us why he is a keeper and played up to his draft position a few years ago.  Played big inside AND hit some 3's!

Vince Carter looked 10 years younger than his age.

Prince, home with the flu, was missed.  So was Dedmon.  But, this gives others a chance to play and show what they can so.

So much to learn.  Still strangers playing together.  Gotta make those free throws.

GO ATL HAWKS !!!

PS ---Gasp!  Plumlee played well !

There was a debate in the offseason about who the Hawks shooting coach was/is...

 

 

 

Exactly. But what do I know according to our resident Dr. God Complex? ?

[deester11]

I may be alone in this but I hate the Young/Dorsey pairing with a passion.  I'm ok with Dorsey, but it's head down dribbling or ball killing with him.  Ewwww to that.
