Jones might be ass 

I wasn't gonna say anything, but dude don't even LOOK like a professional athlete

[NBASupes]

Bruno, VC, and Len or Jones is a never do again rotation

[NBASupes]

Cam and Hunter has been a very positive pairing for us from my charts. 

[Vol4ever]

Why is Brown on the roster?

[NBASupes]

Our defense is trash especially with Len 

[Cwell]

Hunter with the advertised defense

He has been a monster all game.

Hunters defense making me cry

[NBASupes]

Liking Ball, looking like a star

Hunter already looks like a 4th year pro.

Baby Kawhi description was more accurate than I originally thought.

I ain’t even mad at the Zatarains company patch.  They make some good ass rice.

Overall, outside of the Bruno, VC and Len/Jones rotation, it's been close. That rotation was pure bullshit

If his teammates find him, Zion will easily average 20 ppg because the middle of the floor is wide open for a cutter like him.  Once he gets the ball in the paint while on the move, he's too damn explosive to contain.

As for the Hawks, you kind of see the issue with this team defensively. The Hawkss have 61 pts, is shooting 50% FG and 39% 3FG, but are losing by 14 because we can't stop anybody.

Defense is still a MAJOR issue. We can only hope that Pierce isn't emphasizing that yet. We already have one "defensive coach" in ATL who hasn't shown anything yet. Lookin' at you Quinn.

I've never seen someone cover so much ground with his jumping ability and his power is crazy. The Duke kids all looking good today 

Alex Len defense v. Starters is as bad as advertised

Yeah, the defense is bad, but this is a glorified all start game.  Getting film to hopefully make this defense at least bad.  Cause this exhibition is terrible.  

I must say, Zion will get all the hype, but Hunter is almost matching him point for point along wth playing some very smart basketball.  Zion looks good.  His jumpshot will def need some work.

So happy to see Cam knock down those shots.  

So glad the Hawks are back!

I've seen him do it in college against smaller people. But that last play he made against Len was so quick and explosive, that Len barely had time to react.  Granted, it was Len, but still impressive.

We lack physicality!  I’m telling y’all even in this preseason game you can see Collins frustration as he’s banging against these bigger bodies .

collins isn’t even a small frame big man in my opinion...he’s just not a center.

physicality will doom us this season. If we could match strength for strength this team would be scary even with the defensive woes but there’s defensive issues and they just aren’t powerful enough as a unit....looks like Quinn’s  falcons defense
