Vince has lost his shooting touch. 

I'd take Vince out too.  I bet he wonders why in the world he signed with us.  He was visibly disgusted when the Collins suspension first happened.  I think he must have at least thought we'd be competitive.

LOL . . Baby Josh going for the SportsCenter highlight.   Gotta make those.

My god, if we lose to the Warriors Monday...

Rockets got dudes who were bouncers at nightclubs coming in making 3s.

2004-2005 team was worse. But this team is the most disappointing Hawks team that I can recall. 

Disagree. This team is worse.

Gotta pad them stats too. These games don't matter until Collins and Huerter are back.

Collins is not even an all star... A poor defender in his own right. How is he going to stop these beatings?

Schlenk is one of the worst GM’s ever.

I am sure their shooting coach is partly to blame for 3 and B guys...."B" for Bully

The Rockets are basically what we want to be. It's a really solid scheme when you actually have playmakers. We don't even have a PJ Tucker type to find the open man after Trae gets trapped.

From what I’ve read trae was very very depressed sounding in his Post game interview from last game after his 49 point performance. I’m wondering how he will approach his interview tonight? Or has he already?

I don't know if I have ever seen a team play that poorly. Wide open 3, miss. Easy layup, nope. Rebound in your hands, not anymore. I'm not sure we even crossed halfcourt to play defense unless it was to foul Harden on a 3.

We are young, they are vets

Nvm got my answer 

 

I feel bad for this young man . I hope we don’t continue this path too long! Truth is Trae is just ahead of the rebuild plan and he and luka are way better than anyone could have imagined at this point in their careers.

i understand the development phase as a team and I’m not saying trae doesn’t have more to learn but right now he really is very much ahead of his teammates around the same age as him

I'm starting to envision Schlenk ending up being the Hawks version of Coppolella tbh with the Hawks eventually having a surprise emergence earlier than thought. He gets some good talent but fails to mold a winner because all he knows about is really focusing on the draft, and the next regime does better at it. The thing that's a question is what ends up ousting him though? You don't have an IFA. 

Maybe another "incident" happens that does it.

This is a bit of an overreaction.  The Hawks will probably get a couple of wins this week.  They have played a murders row of teams on back to backs and they are young team dealing with injuries.  They were competetive in the first two games of the road trip.  The overtime yesterday, made this game a wrap for Houston.  With no shooting, I didn't expect this type of loss, but I expected a loss. 

Now if we get blown out by every team next week, it may be time to panic, just a little.

Coppolella wasn't the GM long enough to fail to mold a winner. We were supposed to suck when he was here.

We were expecting to be competitive and we are not. Hunter and Cam have terrible on offense for the most part. The vets we signed or traded for are completely useless.
