Preseason Game #5: Hawks vs Heat 10/12/18

[benhillboy]

I was one of the main ones lamenting Bud’s departure.  The way these dudes shooting (Len, TP), cutting, and passing, I’m rocking with Lloyd.  Lin looks light years better than he did about a week ago.

@KB21 submitted his status as a #1 star poster. Bagley been beasting. Pierce is looking like a hell of a coach. JJJ is the foul out king. 

[hawkman]

Trae is a beast. A straight up beast.

[hazer]

Something to consider: Hawks beat the Spurs and are spanking the Heat...without J-Bap and Dedmon Walking ?

[terrell]

Hawks sharing the ball like crazy..

[NBASupes]

This up tempo style is really hard to defend v. The Hawks are always moving. On and off the ball. This is tough and great Basketball.

He is a freak of nature of a natural PG. He looks like Nash prime. It's unreal.

Like I was saying last game: this looks like a well-coached team.

[benhillboy]

Based off the style and quality of teams we beat last season the Hawks are gonna catch a lot of teams slipping.  Outside of Toronto, GS, and Boston anyone can get hit in the mouth because the team chemistry is good.

Vince ain’t got a lot left in the tank but he got the pedal to the floor with the air on.  Fade away three followed by a post assist to Lin. Impeccable shape he’s in.  

Vince was doing 360 warm up dunks in the layup line in the last game - made it look real easy. He's in incredible shape for 41 years.

Poy gots game for a G-Leaguer

[benhillboy]

Poythress with the gangster O rebound and put-back.  

Apparently Trae likes Len’s hands.  I concur.

These boys ballin.

[thecampster]

Poythress missing 2 back to back passes to him that should have been layups. 2 turnovers for prince/trae that have nothing to do with them.....smh.

 

[Spud2nique]

Is it too late to UP my predictions win total? @Gray Mule 41 looks doable after what we’ve seen. It’s still preseason but we are not afraid that’s for sure.

[JayBirdHawk]

That Prince pass to a cutting Young for a reverse layup....beautiful basketball.

All of these guys can play these days. The era of the scrubs being way worse than the starters is long gone.

How many years we got Len?  Homes gonna boost his value this season piling up threes and fouls drawn.

2 years. He's a steal. Should've signed him for 3 or maybe even 4.

[hazer]

Ice Très posting 11/5 by halftime ?
