Official Game Thread: Wizards at Hawks (Manic Monday)

[hawkman]

Tonight would be a good night to deploy Dunn. 

[Thomas]

IT was a great player who understood what refs watch the most but he was revealed as an ordinary coach at two different levels. NBA and the College level. Have personal issues with him as well with the ref bias he received constantly but will leave it alone at this moment.

They are fighting but we are bringing the energy tonight so I feel good so far

Yeah they don't look lethargic like they did in the first half of the Pacers game. They're up for this one.

Nice hockey check, Matthews

[Buzzard]

Lets get this done. Crunch time game and we need to show up.

[MaceCase]

Dreeeee

[hawkman]

The refs hate Okongwu.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Welcome back Dre.

No one can guard Westbrook.  We need to turn him into a jumpshooter.  

Only way to do that is to build a Giannis like wall.  But if you do that, you leave people open on the perimeter.

[hawkman]

Hunter looking elite.

[MaceCase]

Dre just adds a new dimension to the O

Got to get Kris Dunn on him. He's the only one who can come close to his intensity.

Still can't run consistent offense with Trae on the bench. SMH

we just have no one that can match his ability to get in the paint and force the defense to adjust.  The offense just does not pop.

If it's not the number 1 priority this offseason I'm gonna lose my mind. 

[hawkman]

Too many risky passes. Trae needs to shoot the floater when he gets that far in the paint. He already has it going. 

[NBASupes]

We gotta play under control
