Hawks needs to stop wearing these trash ass jerseys with that trash ass logo. I used to go to the games in the early 2000s when we had that logo. All we did was lose, lose, lose no matter what. Have that Hawks even won with these bullshit ass jerseys yet? 

 

Go back to the MLK shit

Those things are hideous...

He was 2-5 in the qtr. Stop acting like he was talking all the shots. He only played 6 f'n min. 

This is totally on Nate and playing Solo, Clint, Wright, Lou, and Gallo for the first 6 min of the 4th. 

They were pulled, we were up by 8

SMH... . 82 game season folks. This was an ugly game at the end and disapointing no doubt. But give me a break with some of these takes lol. 

What is wrong with the takes? What are the false narratives or refutable perspectives?

Why does Capela have such a hard time putting the ball in the hoop when he's one foot away from it

Man go up strong wtf

Because he is only good at rebounding and dunks. His game is dog shit outside of that.

I am so pissed. This one feels like a LP loss 

 

They let them hang around and didn't knock them out.

Trae was better his first few years than he is now.

Let's not go that far. We choked this game, but Trae is still leagues better than his first few years. Just a few boneheaded plays on both ends at the end.

Partial like...partial blame is on Nate and some is on Trae.

It mainly relates to 4th period play.

He screws up much of the time now instead of owning.

And if they were pulled 3 min earlier the Hawks may have scored 15 pts and won. Who the hell knows. But playing scrubs for 6 min and conceding to not score is a losing proposition

They are essentially a turnover. It has to be a morale killer for the rest of the team but cannot say anything because you can't and don't want to bruise Trae's ego.

 

The main problem with this take is that literally no one else was scoring the basketball. And I mean no one. 

The long 3 by Trae is a good shot . . IF . . he shoots it in rhythm and doesn't rush the shot.  The shot he took in the 4th was rushed.

 

But once again, no one else could score the basketball.

He should have been gone after his mediocrity in the playoffs last year.

I was wondering why JC was benched with 0 pf and Capella had 2 but JC had 0 shot attempts. They need to run ser plays for JC with his efficiency.

At the end of the day, the Hawks will be the Hawks. This is to be expected because this is who they always are.

I absolutely hate TLC.  So bad.   Hate players who shoot who clearly can’t shoot.  Knew he would miss that one at the end causes he’s garbage.  Pure trash.  And that step back in the first?  If the catch and shoot isn’t there pass the damn ball.  No one is paying you to shoot step backs Timothy Loser-Cantshootohwell.

They just let them hang around too long.   We had plenty of opportunities to stretch this game out to 15+ points, but just couldn't execute on offense.

Trae's game management down the stretch was not good, but the start of that 4th quarter was vomit inducing , which was when we had a chance to put the game out of reach, the bench came up really small.

Offensive possessions the 1st 6 minutes of the 4th:

Gallo miss 3

Lou 3 freethrows

Lou TO

Lou miss

Lou miss

Gallo miss

Hill miss

Gallo miss

Capela missed bunny

Lou 2pts

Lou miss 3

Lou miss.

A total of FIVE (5) POINTS IN 6 minutes.

Yeah I wasn’t tripping at all.  Philly has the best player on the floor at the end of the day.  And these questionable three attempts by Trae are the same ones he was scorching the nets on in the playoffs.

I would like to ask Nate why Delon and Trae never run together though, the normal Hawks beat writers probably don’t even recognize they haven’t played a minute together.  Wright knows how to promote offensive flow and spacing for the team through resets, getting off the ball at the appropriate time, and subtle off ball movements.  Most of the championship teams I’ve seen ran a healthy dose of two above-average ball handlers/ playmakers together (better than Kevin/ Bogi types) Nate is allergic to it smh.

Watching Clint miss 1 ft bunnies is the absolute worst. It's insufferable.
