Official Game Thread: Cavaliers at Hawks

[AHF]

The most amazing number from Knight’s fantastic evening was leading the team in free throws while only totaling 4 fga.  I’d definitely have predicted him leading the team in points before that.

Hawks fav name: NATE (McMillan/Knight)

Hawks fav # (19 Collins/Huerter)

That’s CINCOOOOOO (5) WINS!!!

@TheNorthCydeRises @REHawksFan Nice win huh boys! 

Our superstar went for 14 and 6 and we won. Hmm stats are funny sometimes aren’t they. RESPECT THE VET POSTER AND THE REST OF OUR SQUAD TOO!!!  Trae gets it, all that matters.

@Jody23 ON TO THE NEXT! 
 

GO HAWKS!

 

 

Hey man, we all celebrating tonight. I got no complaints.

Like I said to the other dude, you promise me they can hold every opponent to 82 pts and I'll gladly agree Trae can score 14 pts and feel good about the potential for a win. 

Some of yall just weird tho acting like this game proves some sort of point.

No, he was a good guy, very intelligent too. Team wasn't playing well, and his game adjustments weren't the best, but no need for baseless personal attacks on the guy.

I'm not talking about LP in his personal life. As a coach he seemed like an asshole. Someone who always blames others and never takes accountability is a 100% asshole in my book and that's LP

Remind me how many points per game Trae is averaging under Nate...

What does this have to do with the price of rice in china?

[bleachkit]

It also helps that Cleveland is perhaps the worst offensive team in NBA. If Sexton cant get going, forget about it.

He couldn't play any worse if he tried.  Now its time to trade him while his stock is up!

You keep going on about how we don’t need him to score under Nate when he has been gang busters scoring under Nate.  We need Trae to score.  On a given night, we can get some other guys breaking out.  If he starts averaging 15 ppg, however, we are in huge trouble.  From what we’ve seen so far under Nate, I’m not worried about it.  I think he has been over 30 points more often than not under Nate.

That takes a lot of work. He really wasn't ever a floor coach. His biggest job was a defensive coordinator for Philly. He never had to know how to coach and before Nate, we didn't have anyone to show him how. 

I think that should be 'lack of experience coaching.'  @kg01 was adamant that he should have hired more seasoned coaches to his staff as a first time head coach.

As usual you make up some narrative that no one claimed.  @REHawksFan and other claimed that the Hawks can't win without Trae scoring 30 plus points.  Well that myth was busted tonight.

Nash did not hesitate to grab D'Antoni. A old adage about being a good manager. Its a reflection on your training abilities and talent evaluations when people under you get promoted. Instead of running from putting smarter people under you, that should be your end game.

Some managers are scared of having talented people under them. They are worried those people will be their replacements. Good managers strive for hiring smart talented people.

Nash did that. LP should have done the same.

Not a lot of quality coaches wanna be assistants for tanking teams tho. Lloyd had to sell Nate on a vision before he agreed.

There's a big difference between being the engineer/mechanic, and driving the race car.

As usual you mischaracterize what is said. I'm not sure if you are being intentionally obtuse or if you really don't understand what is said. Sigh. 

I'm afraid continuing to try to explain it to you is a lost cause.

Hate I missed this game.  Looks like Knight looked good and Bogi had 12.
