Official Game Thread: Hawks at Pistons -- The Season Opener!

[IheartVolt]

He misses guys

Derrick Rose looks so good

They will not go away

[Dnice]

Bad close to the half.

[Atlantaholic]

Really should have called an offensive foul on Drummond on the play before he stole the ball from Trae. Blatant and would have been his third. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Too much bench guys to close the half Pierce.

I'm just glad to see Bruno gets minutes over Jones.

[Marvin24Williams]

What are these Pierce rotations? Lol!!!

[JayBirdHawk]

Question: John Collins, 11 minutes....Jabari Parker 13 minutes.....why?

[Gray Mule]

Things coming up roses for Detroit tonight! 

[NBASupes]

I would like to see Cam in more actions. He barely got the rock. 

Trae is Trae. He will be a MVP 

I would like to see Trae get Hunter and Reddish more involved.

Hunter and Cam are playing tremendous defense. 

Len and Bruno have been brutal. 

Collins/Parker is working offensively but defensively it's a mess. 

We need better team play. Let iso ball. It's working for Trae to a degree. 

[JayBirdHawk]

You know how players say they're gonna donate x amount of dollars for say dunks per game?

Len shud donate for every missed bunny!

Keeping him fresh for a prolific second half?

[BudBall]

Looks like we are going to be bottom 5 in defense again this year.

Cam needs to stop being so unsure of himself. He’s clearly still uncomfortable. I’m still waiting for that signature half spin move from him

Trae is Trae. He will be a MVP - I'll take FMVP

I would like to see Trae get Hunter and Reddish more involved. Definitely, hopefully in the 2nd half he racks up more assits, I can see Detroit blitzing him more.

Hunter and Cam are playing tremendous defense. By golly, yes they are.

Len and Bruno have been brutal. 

Collins/Parker is working offensively but defensively it's a mess.  

We need better team play. Let iso ball. It's working for Trae to a degree. Yep

He really hasn't made a move. He did one catch and shoot. He got the ball and shot an open three. The other shot was like a heave at the end of the half that had little chance of going in. 

 

Let's be real, he and Hunter haven't got many good looks. We need more from them but they don't get touches. That has to improve.

Cam will be up and down all season on the offensive side. As long as he plays solid defense we can live with it. He'll get it sorted on offense eventually but it will take some time.

Maybe, I think we'll be better. Detroit smoked Indiana yesterday, they have several guys playing on fire atm so I don't know that they are the fairest barometer right now.

[Dnice]

Ugly start now...gee whiz.

Dayuuuum J-Bap!

Cam has gotten touches he just plays hot potato with it and gets rid of it as soon as he can. If he needs a look, create one then, he has the ability.

Foul trouble, meet Mr. Drummond
