Official Game Thread: Hawks at Lakers

[TheNorthCydeRises]

So in order to TRY preserve a 5 - 6 loss in fantasy basketball, I benched Jabari tonight . . not because he won't put up numbers . . but because I'm afraid he'd go 1 - 4 from three.   On the flip side, I need Deandre to shut down the overrated Kyle Kuzma, and force a 2 - 6 night from 3.

11 - 2 already  . . . 14 - 2 now

Call time out LP.   There's the time out.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae against the world.

I wish we could buy stars.

Hell, I wish we could buy starters.

I see a dejected look on the players' faces

 

Not a good sign. Hawks look like they've already quit

A lot of missed defensive reads by Parker. I don't see how some of you think he will get Prince salary. I think 4/40 is high end

Defensively, he is a big part of the problem

I've been around pulling for the Hawks 40 years and I can count on one hand how many star players I've seen in a Hawks uniform.  

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Offseason acquisitions:

 

- Turner ( lottery pick . . . bench player )

- Parker ( lottery pick . . . starter caliber player )

- Crabbe ( 2nd round pick .  . . bench player )

- Parsons ( 2nd round pick . . . inactive player )

- Wallace ( 2nd round pick . . . bench player )

- Brown ( undrafted . . . bench player )

I see a big lack of effort on the floor

 

Looks like they're close to quitting on ol coach LP

You can't start Parker without a VERY good defensive C. Too bad LP doesn't realize that. 

I predicted this start. I knew it was gonna happen. Too bad LP the "retread" doesn't understand it. It's pretty disgusting actually. 

You honestly think a player like Trae is going to accept this BS? Dude wants to win. Zero reason not to sign a C to a 1 year deal. Noah is available? Trade for Adams? ANYTHING. This is pretty pathetic. Trae started this season going ham. Now he is getting PISSED. So am I. Screw LP awful coach. And Screw Travis. TITS? My butt. He's an awful GM.

Tru

 

But I still don't see the effort

[NBASupes]

Which asshole wants to blame the rookies for this?

[terrell]

THank goodness the road trip is almost over...

[Vol4ever]

Our team plays zero defense.

Rookies will be Rookies. You need to put them in a position to win and gain confidence. You can't start Reddish AND JONES. You are going to get completely demolished within the first 5-6 minutes. Golly gee what happened? Past two games. This is kinda pathetic. LP is clueless. He isn't good. stop defending him.

[Vol4ever]

Nice shot by Crabbe

[NBASupes]

Crabbe!!!
