I are confused.  Was told, of the Hawks, "They don't play defense ... blah, blah, blah ..."

Don't be surprised if someone (i.e. me) cuts 'n pastes your post on rgm to shutup some clowns.  I'll properly credit you for it tho.

I can here it now..... well, 'The Hawks haven't played anybody' ....it'll always be something.

Remember, Hill said it over the offseason, if you can finish top 10 in both offense and defense, then you really have a chance to do something in the postseason.

Im glad the defense has improved, thanks largely to our rebounding efforts. We must keep that going. Now, as we get players back and build chemistry and Trae leaves his slump behind, hopefully our offense starts to click the way we had all hoped it would. 

Top 10 is the goal on both ends of the court, we can do it.

Honestly and maybe I’m just in over my head but this group has a chance to be a top 5 offense if the team is healthy but I’m not expecting anything less than top 10 with just outside of top 5

It would be great to have a game with 5 players with 20 or more points.

Not much practice this season unfortunately.

We have a lot working against us between the extended offseason with no bubble, the ultra quick start to the season with a bunch of new faces, almost no practices, and the injuries. Wish we were better than 8-7 given the soft schedule and a few of the leads we blew, but it could be worse.

Jerami Grant is 2-17 tonight..Good lord..At some point you have to start passing the ball..lol

It really annoys me how Hawks national games are blacked out even though I don't even have FSSE. I don't understand that.

[JayBirdHawk]

So which of you Squawkers will be going?

 

 

[lethalweapon3]

A home game for De'Andre, you say?

Hunter is clearly the All Star. Collins has the metrics but his raw stats might hurt him. Capela has to build on to what he's doing. Hunter will get the coaches votes. Unless fans go nuts for Trae, it might not be and the media isn't Team Trae either

Kawhi Leonard (health and safety protocols), Paul George (health and safety protocols) and Patrick Beverley (right knee soreness) are ruled out tomorrow against Atlanta.

They also scheduled Hawks-Bucks with no Trae/Capela...We might not see NBA TV again...lol

Exactly!

Of all the non- "National" TV games we have we wait until they throw us a bone to sit out Trae and Capela, the main guys probably responsible for them wanting to add us in the first place.

I know they were actually hurt and it wasn't rest, but still. Trae misses maybe 2 or 3 games a year. We only have 2 or 3 national games a year. The odds are quite frustrating that those games would overlap the way they are now.

Bad . . because watch they pull our game off NBATV
