Why y'all dissing John????

Collins is a solid supporting player. I hope his contract ends up reflecting that.

How long are they on minute restrictions? Do other NBA teams assign these arbitrary minute restrictions?

The minutes restrictions are set by the training staff and yes, other teams do.

Agreed, we needed something from Huerter and Reddish.

And just a bit more from Rondo and Okunguw.

You sound like a Falcon fan.  More offense wins championships right?  That why the Wizard are doing so well.

No good 2 way players available unfortunately..I dont even know if Beal is available. I was just sayin.If Cam, Huerter, and Bogi stinks, we need a starting 2 guard...lol

"After watching Capela I know what a rebounder looks like. Collins is not. Gallo shows me what a scoring big looks like. Collins is not.

Hunter has shown me what improvement looks like when you are good. Huerter and Reddish have not shown that".

This is why Trae/Hunter/Capela is our BIG 3.............lol

Heurter is improved this game notwithstanding. Reddish is really struggling though. Where did Cam from the last few months of last year go?

Thought OO would provide more on offense.

Per Gallo in post game interview re minutes......it all depends on how he feels, then the minutes are increased game to game.  The better he feels the more he can play.

I'm not even upset about this loss. We were down our 2 best players, going against Milwaukee. 

Turned it off after the first, figured it would be a 40 point blow out. Happy to see the guys make it close-ish in the fourth.

John's back over 40% from three. Great game from him today.  Hunter was just so impressive. I'm loving his growth from year one to year two.  

Travis knows how to pick em.

I saw a lot of we 'gave up too much for Hunter' articles last year.

I think I’ve heard at least 10 Jeff Van Gundy rants to know this is not some Hawks specific thing.  “Oh you’re saying he can play 15 minutes but not 20?  C’mon man, who exactly is setting the alarm clock on his ankle?!”

How did you think that? He's a rookie big returning from injury, no training camp, no real off season. I'm just glad he looks serviceable on the defensive end. He's not even close to game shape.

He is a 21 year old sophmore who will have inconsistencies.  Why are you happy he's struggling? The moment he had a good game he went out with an injury.  Can you be patient and stop basking in whatever glory you think is Hunter vs Reddish?

Hunter's playing great which is a great sign for the ultimate potential of the Hawks.  These are all Hawks players, no need in revealing when players are struggling.  You seem to really enjoy the losses.

Makes sense to get annoyed when people undervalue John and Hunter but than proceeds to do the same regarding Cam. smh.

Never understood that at all.  We couldn't have 6 rookies on the team, but analytical twitter was talking about "value".  Yeah, Brad..lol

4th game with no training camp and on a minutes restriction?  Y'all serious?

JVG always mocks the minute restrictions. He's old school, not big on babying guys.

He gobbled up the ball on those blocks - love to see it.

I just caught up and finished the game. This might have been the worst I've seen Cam Reddish play on both ends since the Clippers blowout last season where he was a -48. 

His defense was horrendous till the last 4 minutes. Milwaukee completely played to his aggression. 

That said, Hunter was excellent offensively but rough defensively. 

Collins was similar. 

Solo actually looked good for his standard.

Gallo was critical. 

I was disappointed with Rondo, Goodwin, and Huerter.

LP had his moments and had bad moments as well.

This lost to me is on Cam Reddish. Not that he would have won if he played well because we wasn't going to win but it would have been better. 

Ultimately, we got zero from the SGs.
