Official Game Thread: Pistons at Hawks -- the Home Opener!

[NBASupes]

This game sucked. Reminded me of the old Hawks. Defense was only good in spurts

[RedDawg#8]

Im usually a Nique defender but he just bold faced lied about the game story.

Said the bench wasnt able to seal the deal so the Hawks had to put the starters back in. Like, what game were you watching Nique? The starters came in and let the lead evaporate, after Rondo and the bench put us up big.

This gives us something to work on going in to Brooklyn. Cant get the big head despite being undefeated.

Interesting that Hill got the call on defense as opposed to Capela - don't want to have him.get fouled.

[Lurker]

Really unideal finish and defensive game in general, all in all.

If this is what we'll get when we suck I'll take it. 128 points in regulation lol. 

[RandomFan]

They can't all be pretty. But I'll take a W with plenty of teaching moments over an L. 

[Atlantaholic]

3-0

Can't wait to get Galo back. Maybe we can trade Capela I think dude is damaged goods, probably why Houston just gave him away for peanuts. 

[marco102]

Trae has to have the NBA record for free throws to open a season right?

[ATLHawks3]

The game was a lot closer than it needed to be, but a win is a win.

BRO it's his first real game in 10 months.  Can we give him time to adjust?  He had some key blocks.

No doubt on that.  Hawks were up by 18 when LP subbed in Trae, Dre, and Capela.  Lead got as low as 5.

You're just now noticing Nique's disconnect with reality?

Offense was really moving until we took the foot off the gas in the 4th.

got to do a better job of protecting the ball ... some bonehead turnovers and bad fouls ...

D was okay but there were spurts of just nothing

Grant had his way ... got to do a better job of protecting the paint ... 

Still a win is a win and we are now 3-0

Bring on Durant and Irving

[bleachkit]

Our bench has literally been our saving grace all year. Our starters honestly look about the same as the second half of last year.
