Official Game Thread: Hawks at Nets (Game 1 of 2)

[terrell]

We needed Dunn this game to clamp down on Kyrie in the 4th...

I think when you're playing the Nets, you'll probably going to have to make the decision to double Kyrie and Durant, and make the other guys beat you.

Make that dude Luau-Caboret . . whatever his name is . . beat you with wide open shots.

[Buzzard]

Great game and a tough loss. Trae, Collins, Bogi, and Reddish played solid. Hunter could hardly make a shot most of the night. Hawks killed the Nets on the boards 59 to 41. I think the Hawks are going to only get better as the season goes on.

People will take note of what we were able to do with a team that is considered on of the best defensive teams in the NBA.   The Hawks is one of those ones....

Kyrie is Kyrie. Nothing you can do when he gets hot. Can't give up 6 3's to Joe Harris though

But that's what Joe does, besides it was easy for him to shoot over Trae

I feel if Gallo stays healthy this whole game we win it for sure he was looking good before the injury.

Agreed.  We did a lot of switching defense in the 1st 3 games, this one we didnt.

I was really encouraged. Last year's team would've gotten blown out.

I'm even thinking the loss will help them more in the long run than a win would have...

It wouldnt be that close if Kyrie was going bricking 14 shots early

We were bricking 3's too though..Trae/Cam/Hunter were 5-20..

Cam would have picked his pocket or blocked him atleast once if he didn't have to guard KD. You have to disrupt him. Dre is just gonna play sound hands up defense and pray they miss. Ky eats that for lunch

Gallo going out hurt us..

It wasn’t our offense that was the problem ... Gallo doesn’t fix the D

[NBASupes]

Little things lost us this one

Trae entry pass to JC, he should have tossed it high

Trae not taking it back out on the fast break with LC and Kyrie was in recovery

Hunter missing that open 3 with a min left and down by 3.

[JayBirdHawk]

I wonder if we should have switched Cam on Kyrie once he got hot...might have been able to make use of his quick hands.

6 for 8 from 3, 8 for 11 from the floor is not a normal night. He was left open quite a bit. That can't happen

[DBac]

Well.. we know what we need to improve on lmao. This is probably the only team in the East that could match us when we are that hot on offense though.

[hylndr11]

Yea I think we prolly win this with Gallo In

There is no team in the NBA that can guard us. We just gonna be able to guard them

[capstone21]

Hiding Trae on Joe Harris was a mistake too
