I seem to remember someone mentioning that the pace they will play at is by design, and what their goal for that pace actually was.  I also remember saying that Trae's poor shot selection would be promoted and not inhibited for the team to achieve its goal this year.

I knew you'd show up tonight. lol

If Oladipo is out they have poor depth, we have a puncher’s chance.  If he goes Joseph and Collison will at least be a combined +15.

Try +18 with the All Star Aaron Holiday thrown in, without Oladipo.  I’m not supposed to be able to call this.  It’s no coincidence McMillan played his 13th man quality minutes.  Trae poses absolutely no physical challenges on either end at any time.

TY - 5/27 (18%),  KH - 2/13 (15%), OS - 5/22 (22%).

The 3 rookies are struggling from 3 over the last 5 games!

Their first taste of a West coast swing, playing every other day with a travel in between!

Welcome to the NBA boys!!!

Those who make and/or have a lot of money never have to talk about making and/or having money. Same goes for intelligence, education, being right, etc. Exception being those overcompensating for something. Makes one wonder ?

We should’ve given up all these wack ass picks for Butler.

Butler has no interest in the Hawks

And who replaces them?

Next 4 games are at home, but still playing every other day.  Actually, they'll have a game every other day until November ends, with a back to back thrown in. Brutal November schedule.

Hawks are better now that JC is finally here to play.

Trae Young, shooting 3's and hitting the front of the rim, over and over.  Is he just off a little every time or has his leg strength got him off that much?  What ever it is, he needs to adjust, and he will.

You're right, Collin will be rested another week or 2 for precautionary reasons...Same with Prince.

They have guards.  They are just three years away from being good and giving the team winning contributions.  This is what happens when you rely on youth.

Cant believe the layups bring missed and turnovers.  We dont have a coach.

This shouldn't be a surprise.  We DID have a coach, but he's leading Milwaukee to a historical season now.

This is true.  Dont blame Bud for wanting to leave.

Chalk up another loss.

Much closer loss.  In fact, Hawks lost by 8 points.  They missed 8 free throws.  My pet peeve.  They are free!  Hit them!  They count!  And, Hawks had too many turnovers.

Hawks are not great.  They will be much better when they get 100% healthy, if they ever do.  Better now with Collins on the floor.  Rookies need to relax a bit or something.  They are better than they have shown recently.

Finally, at home for a few.  GO HAWKS!!!

They will not be 100% healthy all year.  That's by design.  

Even if they were 100%, the team is still too young.  There are no impact veterans on this team.

Dallas Wins!!

I need text alerts when John goes in and out the game so I can manage my time accordingly.
