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

[REHawksFan]

Looking good early on.  Hunter is assertive. Defense looks good (helps to have Reggie bricking 3's LOL).  

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Very good start by Collins and the Hawks.

Note:  The length of Cam Reddish is a HUGE advantage over 2's that are 6-5 and under.

Reddish D'ing up Jackson well

Drummond is showing some things I haven't seen from him before. If his improved touch from 5-8 feet out is something he can keep up he might be a big, big problem this year.

His defense is his calling card.  That's what I want to see this year.  He's quick  enough on that end to guard most point guards.

The length of Cam and Hunter will have an instant impact on defense. Even if they struggle in some aspects of D as they learn the game, their size alone will make them factors. It's the opposite situation Trae presents, where even if Trae improves his effort and technique his size will always make him a liability in most nights.

Collins is like . . . "Preseason, Smeseason".

Look at Bruno . . . 7th and 8th man off the bench. 

Make the most of it man.

Drummond looks like a different player this year so far. Bruno has no prayer.
