I hope we see Jalen over Hobo. I mean Hobo gives you nothing.

Seems like we brought back Solo and Lou out of familiarity. Should have tried to upgrade those spots.

Who would you have signed for the vet min and $5 million?

Don't think I agree with this:

 

.....the starters didn't play the 4th quarter of the Grizz game.

They definitely looked gassed to me in those last 8 minutes or so of the game.

Also appreciate the Hawks crushing the Spurs and Grizz when I couldn't watch a single second of it and yet when I hurry Mrs. Sothron to leave and rush back home to watch the game they lay a big fat egg and lose. Thanks guys.

I get the feeling he really doesn't like the Knicks lol

He doesn't.  I watch the first few minutes after the end-of-game buzzer and this is the first team he dapped up zero dudes from the other team -- straight to the locker room

I mean, at some point it doesn't matter who is on the roster, but you don't want to be giving minutes to the end of bench.  Having 3 quality wings out of the rotation is always going to be a mess, and it was tonight... doubt we win many games inwhich Lou/TLC/Solo/Wright combine for 50+ minutes

Here's to hoping we can get Bogi/Cam back ASAP in addition to Hunter/OO

[terrell]

I know its a long season, but we're 5-9 vs teams with a winning record. Season is 26% complete. And now potentially (additional) significant injuries.....

So far we only can beat “good” teams when they are missing more A players than we are. We’re not as deep as advertised - all the proof you need is to know we carry Solomon Hill and TLC on this squad.  smh

Y'all downers do realize that the lineups we played in the second half tonight had like 2 total minutes on the floor together coming in? It was painfully obvious Solo/TLC/Lou had no rhythm with the starters (or the second unit, for that matter). Being forced to try new rotations featuring the end of your bench on the second night of a back to back is going to make any team look bad.

Give them some reps in practice together--and hopefully have Nate realize that Delon can play alongside Trae--and I think they'll look better.

Safe to say I don't think shooting 35% is going to be a regular occurrence with this group? Stinker, it happens. On to the next.

No awareness at all. He should know better.

Nique or VC mentioned how solo didn’t know where Mitch Rob was an that was worrisome. I didn’t like him passing up the shot initially but ended up being ok with it obviously because Trae hit the 3 and Solo would have probably missed that bunny anyways. Lol.

Then again, maybe he was VERY aware…that he’s Solo

Yup he woulda missed that I’m guessing.. for sure. Lol.

Nice game thread lw3! Just finished game.

We can’t win games with Gallo and Lou shooting 3-17 FG, I’m sorry but that blows. You don’t tell shooters to stop shooting but these vets get cold and we tank hard.

Prayers up for Bogi and Cam. Hoping both are minor. 
 

TLC looked engaged and active, I don’t mind that. His 3 looks much improved from last year when teams left him open. He D’s up hard too.

call up J Johnson and Coop. 
 

Nice 7 game streak we had. Picked up some good habits, some nice picks n rolls from Trae to Jc and big to big. 
 

Let’s get Nate his 700th win against his former squad in Indy on Tuesday.

Go Hawks!

I just got back and missed every game including this one. Hope the best for the next.

Bring on Duece Coop and JJ!

[marco102]

We could have used JJ to Match up with Obi and Sims. Sims was the difference in my opinion and having JJ yo match his energy would have been nice.

I am not discouraged by the loss. I hope Cam and Bogi aren't out too long. I like TLC's defense. I hope we have time to get him incorporated if Cam and Bogi miss an extended period.

[bleachkit]

Any updates on Bogi and Cam?
