And to think some of you were clowning Tolliver before the game . . .

Yeah Bruno!  Finally scored.

As soon as I saw that he signed today, I knew he was going to roast the Hawks as he always seems to do.  Oh well, hopefully they bounce back Friday.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

So the Hawks play in Memphis on Saturday night.  I may need to make my way down there.  It's been about 7 years since I've watched the Hawks down in Memphis.  There's nothing like seeing your squad win on the road.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

I got the Memphis feed, so I can't hear what LP says.  Please post an abbreviated "transcript" of what he says.  Hopefully he just says this is a "toss away" game in which no one had it tonight.  He bet not throw no one under the bus.

[Jody23]

There wasn't anything that any one guy could have done on his own tonight.  When the entire team plays that bad on both ends, you're going to lose and lose bad.

[Plainview1981]

It’s clear that Schlenk isn’t capable of building a team that can win. 

It seems like he fills half of his rosters with players that are hurt  and/or don’t contribute. Most of the rest are stat padding offensive players that don’t play any defense.

He has a coach that thinks Vince Carter is a backup PF.

Trae is not a gift wrapped superstar but he does have some shitty tendencies that won't win you a lot of games in this league. This team really goes as Cam goes. Games like tonight for Collins is insanely bad and the reason why I choke at the thought of paying him the max. He really should be paid what Zach LaVine and them are getting. Please f***ing sign Montrezl Harrell right now. 

Trae defense was actually the bright side of his game tonight. f***ing shameful.

Dude has the ball hogging gene and we got a lot of folks in denial in here

 

Cam needs to be the best player on this team for the Hawks to go to the next level

Getting rid of Schlenk and LP... Then get rid of Collins, Huerter and maybe Trae if the right offer can be had.

Almost this whole core is bad. This rebuild has failed.

Winning a game every now and then doesn’t change that.

Funny how populated this games thread is whereas folks "missed" the last few games. 

Hmmmmm

I’m usually a positive dude.

Nothing positive about that. Frankly I’m kind of pissed off I wasted 2.5 hours on that bs.

We sucked a$$.

  throw the tape out on that. I wouldn’t even watch it too ugly.

Get ready for the Wiz.

Dang. I never wanna see Damian again lol...man.  

 

Go Hawks!

What exactly were your expectations?  When you rebuild the way Travis chose to rebuild, it isn’t going to happen fast.  Young players do not know how to play consistently in the NBA.  There are peaks and valleys.  Tonight was a valley.  The Portland game and the Brooklyn game was a peak.

Go for it. They shouldn’t have a repeat performance. That was straight ass.

Him and D.J. Augustin are the kings of overdribbling. Even Harden has since calmed down of late in terms of doing that.

But but but let these basketball experts in here tell it, I don't know what i'm talking about

 

Bonkers wins again. How many times do I have to tell people that I know basketball.  I was one of the 1st people who realized that Durant was gonna leave Russ becuz Russ couldn't stop his hero ball nonsense. And I was told that i didn't know what i was talking about back then (not on here, in real life)
