No Blake Griffin in the home opener. Out for Nov (Knee)

I’d almost rather him play for a Hawks W. He’s that bad for his teams imo.

Jones is one of the worst centers I've ever seen, so no surprise there.  Bembry does surprise me.  I guess we don't want no stinking defensive players.  He is by far our best (only(?)) defender.

Great read!

Man, some dodo kept saying Siakim was gonna take a step back this year.  What a moron.  Who was that guy?

Yeah somebody needs to ID the clown who said that about Siakim.  That's KB Toys-level bad.

On another note, y'all see that Blake Grif news?  Continued soreness in hammy and knee.  Shut down until NOV.  Pistons got buzzard luck.

ETA: On another 'nother note, man did BronJames look old last night.  How many times does Kawhi need to make him look bad for folks to stop calling it a fluke?  AD, as usual, totally disappeared late despite having a significant physical/talent advantage over his counterpart(s).

Just one-game thoughts.

For folks that listen to NBARadio, looks like Wes Wilcox is the former executive on air this season.  Previous former execs were David Griffin and Ryan Mcdonough.

Wes has been just as awkward as you'd expect so far.  Has dropped a couple nuggets from his Hawk years.  Mentioned the Hawks wanted to sign the Melli guy who now plays for NOP.

Was talking about the type of shooter that worried you most were the guys who'd get it up 7-8 times even if they shoot a modest percentage.  Guys like Alice were more selective so he'd shoot a good percentage but it'd only be like 2-3 shots/game so it didn't scare you as much as his midrange game.

Heh, that sound you here is Supes rolling outta bed to come defend Alice.

[NBASupes]

A number of teams wanted Melli but he choose the Pels

[JayBirdHawk]

I haven't listened yet.

I'm disappointed this is all you rolled out of bed to say.  Where's the pro-Alice fire?  Shake off that preseason rust, Supes.

Kevin had an unbelievable practice.  It was really a beautiful practice.  Everyone at the practice said how perfect of a practice it was.  

 

Let's go Red Velvet.

(I'm gonna get flamed for this but ...)

I know that's a CLP quote, but ... doesn't that sound like what the president would say if he saw Heurter practice?

"It was the best practice ... a beautiful practice ... the best practice that ever was ..., blah, blah, blah"

Ok, self-bann imposed.

ETA: And can we find a guy who plays with the level of intensity of that Harrell cat?  We need that, bigly.  And how over his head did Vogel look last night?  He gon' be fired, mayne.

ok, self-bann back on.

Yeah.  That's what i was implying (too subtly though).   Glad you got banned for it.

Hey @lethalweapon3....you ready, I'm ready for the 1st Game thread novel.

I'll find a spot to curl up and read it like a good book.

Hey @capstone21....game day chat ready? 

[JayBirdHawk]

A look back at 2018/2019 vs Detroit.

Record 1-2

11/09: Hawks 109, Pistons 124, Lin leading scorer

12/23: Hawks 98, Pistons 95, Vince leading scorer

02/09: Hawks 122, Pistons 125, Trae leading scorer

 

We played them well once we hit our groove in December.
