Schlenk HAS NOT drafted that well imo.....Its Trae and  pretty much nothing tbh...Just a bunch of guys...

How he gets the "GOAT" label on Hawks boards is beyond me...

 

I think it goes back to Pete Babcock.

Anyone that drafts better than Pete Babcock is acceptable.

Normally down ten I'd be like we have a shot, but will this team be able to score over 40 points in the second half?  I hope so. 

And we have Philly tomorrow.  Please come back tomorrow Trae.

Also, no idea why they aren't running pick and rolls with Sharife.  The college film shows he's excellent with it. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Start Cooper in the 2nd half to organize this shit show and run the PnR with JC.

Have Lance run the 2nd unit.

The issue isn't no Trae, it's how bad Delon is

 

The issue is definitely no Trae, because Trae would have 37 created points already in a game like this.

Delon is horrible though.   Horr-ree-blay

[Sothron]

Is there a way to infect more of our guys so we can postpone the rest of this week?

A real backup PG is a huge need.  Not enough play makers on this team.  
 

Collins is also showing he’s not a Robin. 

That's because his handle is not good enough to consistently self create.

[Sothron]

I just have to say that I've watched Delon Wright play his entire career and he has never, ever been as bad as he has been for us. I can't believe how much he was regressed.

And this was one of the most embarrassing halves of Atlanta Hawks basketball ever played. We are down at home ten points to a team of almost completely random players stuffed in Orlando jerseys. 

If anyone doubts how good Trae Young is please rewatch this nightmare horse shit first half.

The Hawks are playing with a patchwork roster too.

At the rates these infections are going it'll probably happen.  We need 3 more guys to get infected in the next day or two.

Not wishing that on anyone though.

100% agree with the first part. Not trying to defend collins but the passes he’s getting are absolutely horrible . If he gets some better passes to him when he’s set he may drop some needed points for us.

I mean... it isn't exactly easy to make entry passes to a guy that struggles getting position on his defender because he's so scrawny.

Thank you! Not sure how someone watches this shit and say no Trae is NOT the issue…really????

John is rolling into oblivion after every pick as you can see all the gears in Delon’s head grind to a halt, debating if he should pass to Collins or swing to a guy at half court 

[hawkman]

C'mon Nate/Hawks. Show us something to get excited about in the 2nd half.

Hawks might do what Memphis did to Tennessee over the weekend.  Both schools were supposed to play a neutral site game in Nashville, and Memphis ( coached by Penny Hardaway ) said that they weren't playing because of COVID . . . 1 hour before tip-off.

But what about Delon?

We should still win this game.  We have better players.  

[Hawkmoor]

Interesting lineup.  Coop at two guard with Delon running the offense.

[marco102]

STill need to bench Wright. He offers no spacing.
