This is a VERY winnable game. Please don't fumble this one Hawks.

Most of our last 8 games were "winnable". It all depends on LP's rotations.

So far, LP has done rotations PROPERLY. Thus we hve a double digit lead. If he continues proper rotations based on analytics we win this game EASILY. Go HAWKS!

Easily the best defensive effort all year.  Everyone playing their assignments very well.

Bembry is +16 in the game.

Not awful, but not all that great either. They should be up double digits. 

They are up double digits now :) 

This is what happens when you utilize your roster properly. Looking at you LP. Keep it up you silly man you.

BRUNO!!

[Marvin24Williams]

Bruno looks good playing next to Jones

The Hawks look like...an actual basketball team

Very bad sub LEN for Bruno. It should have been LEN for Djones.

Let's see how it plays out. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

It's still absolutely crazy how LP refuses to give Bruno any minutes.

7 minutes played.   4 pts - 2 rebs - 1 asst - 1 blk . . . +9 in the game

 

But can't get playing time.

By the way . . . who says Bruno can't play the 4?   He's contested three 3 point shots . . . all misses.

I like LP playing Trae off the ball. Trae needs to move more to put more pressure on the defense though.

It's pretty obvious Bruno would be a great 4 and spelling Jabri. But he needs to play next to Len and/or Djones. 

It was obvious for a LONG LONG time now. but FINALLY LP realized it. I don't know what prompted the change, but I'll take it and all will be forgiven.

So Cam is in LP's doghouse huh

Looks like it. I would sub Cam in for Turner. But what do I know? LOL

I don't know what he did wrong. I thought he looked pretty good early. 

[Marvin24Williams]

Its times like these where LP needs to play out the lineup that is working. There was no need to sub out Bruno for Parker and Crabbe for Hunter. We had all the momentum and you sub out both of them for weaker defenders. Not ideal when trying to just close out a quarter.

[Bonkers]

Nice half

 

But I don't like what LP has been doin to Cam tho

[Dnice]

Bad last  couple of minutes,  but  a decent margin. 

[lethalweapon3]

Hang in there, Pacers' tryptophan!

 

Go Hawks!

He completely didn't let Cam get into any kind of rhythm in the 1st qtr. He benched him ASAP after he made a good play

 

That's not how u develop a player

[LK6969]

LP gets a B+ for the 1st half in terms of rotations. A few mistakes but MUCH MUCH better than the previous 10+ games.

Keep it up! and go Hawks!

And btw I am available to be a staff member if the Hawks are interested in winning this season. I can definitely help! LP needs it :))))

Agreed. 

LP definitely has some work to do. But I'm satisfied this game considering how TERRIBLE he has been lately.
