Yup. I stopped buying replicas in 2005 or so. I still have a bunch in my closet but get the authentic these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like over optimistic homerism to me. Think he will be a solid small ball big either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO was 72% and 63% in his one year in college and NBA. He may never, but I just think it's too soon to tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you care to make an avatar bet on that? Yes, in the 2023 season he will shoot 40% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None. 40% from three is actually a pretty high bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't believe it will be on much volume, just 1 to 3 attempts per game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many players his size have been able to do what he does offensively? Not many that I can think of....generational. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless leader who puts in work and we see the results on the court. 1. Nique 2. Trae These are now my top 2 for the last 36 years of watching Hawks ball. We are blessed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic trap game. Stay on the gas Hawks. There's no way the Knicks aren't going to be up for tonight's game. I fully expect Mitchell and Randle to be extra physical with Capela and Collins on both ends. The backcourt will have to keep guys like Burks and Quickley in check as well. This won't be a cakewalk. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He struggles whenever he plays in front of crowds. I expect John to be Randle's main defender with Hunter out and John should do a good job. I'm interested to see how Robinson plays against Capela. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Collins will be ok against Randle. If Cap can keep Robinson off the offensive glass and the backcourt can keep guys like Burks or Quickley from having career nights, the Hawks should be ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Da hell ATL isn't resting anyone, and they too had to fly in on a back to back, shorter distance though. Don't be a yellow belly, thibs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kg01 Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Stay professional, Hawks. Any team can beat you on any given night if you fart around. NYL (not a typo) knows they can't beat us full skrength (typo?), so they're playing the rest game to see if they catch lightnin in a bottle. Don't fall for the 'nana in the tailpipe, boise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted November 28, 2021 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Interesting or not that only Mays has been recalled? Practice body? Skyhawks have another game on Tuesday, maybe Coop and JJ will be back after this game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
