They are not showing the pick and roll in preseason. Its weird since every team in the NBA knows its a bread and butter for us. Not like we are going to surprise anyone in the regular season when we do run it.

Seems to me they are trying different things with all the new pieces and not really wasting possessions doing what they know works.

True. Hopefully, the Hawks are playing possum and come out Wednesday hitting on all cylinders. They look so out of sync right now. It's like everyone agreed to NOT play to their strengths or do the things that worked last season.

No , I think we fire LP if they don't play well in the first two minutes of the 2nd half.  Fans can only take so much.

For us to be shooting so bad and them to be shooting so well, this game is still close. I smell a comeback

I hope you're right. Game 1 better start with 5 strait pick n' rolls.

You may be right about that. At least I hope you're right.

We can list all the excus...I mean reasons out there.  Yes, the Hawks have new players.  So do other teamd.  But, in these last two games...they're not playing good basketball.  Period.

Not that winning matters, but it all depends on our guys finding their shot

We are too deep in the paint leaving their shooters WIIIDE open though.

Winning always matters to me even in pre season. I don’t watch to see my guys lose

Let’s see if LP can make the right adjustments

I don't care that we lose a preseason game, I care about HOW we lose.

4D chess moves from LP.  Preseason is for crazy experiments and leaving people wide open to shoot 3's.  We can easily guard those, so we're practicing on how to disrupt the passing lanes.

You watching Kevin? Oh damn....my finger slipped again

If I’m planting my cheeks in front of the screen for 3 hours I want to see my team win.

Is Trae our best defender?

[Gray Mule]

Hawks are really missing Haliburton tonight !!

Trae starting to get the floater going.

LP told the guys to miss shots on purpose. Practicing our offensive rebounding.

He basically has two main shots, the floater and the deep three. He needs them both to be effective.

Trae getting scrappy
