Official Game Thread: Hawks at heat

[AUhawksfan]

I might need to stick to box scores for now.  Better play than I’ve seen but I don’t know if I can handle another L….

[NBASupes]

I felt the bench played extremely well but there is something missing with the starting 5. It could be just Clint but it feels like there is more to it. Miami isn't playing with Bam

[Carmine]

Seen some better things, but not enough to shift my mindset toward this team.

[Hawkmoor]

Offensive foul on Trae taking on the whole defense. Kevin Huerter panicked. Ball game.

It's hard to admit that Trae blew the game when Kev's fingerprints are all over LOSS Like that. 

Huerter had one bad play but trae had 3 in a row

Lol not even surprised Huerter panicked when he was inbounding. He has to be one the worst inbounder I’ve laid my eyes on yet this coaching staff is still letting him do it. That’s just sad

[terrell]

I hate Hueter inbounding...He's never looked comfortable doing it in his entire career. But yet they keep letting him do it... smh

[HawkingAwesome]

Kvon going to have ptsd after this i hope he has a good psychiatrist  that was ugly dude looked like he saw God after that inbound when he was sitting on the bench

Ugh. Travis do something now. Horrible.

Tomorrow, he can finally trade JC who really isn't the problem but he might be the only one with the value to get a possible solution 

[Diesel]

Let's not blame the whole team for this loss.

The second team played very well.   Delon, TLC, OO, and Especially Gallo. 

JC had a good stint.

Trae could have done better. 

But down the stretch.. we need to learn how to win dogfights.   We make too many mental errors...   At this point, it's just BBIQ.

3 bone head plays by huerter down the stretch. 3 bone head plays by trae down the stretch. Bogi clanking wide open Looks down the stretch. That’s ball game. 
 

we need a true #2. Give me Brandon Ingram or a top 5 pick.

Trae blew it when he started dribbling to much and went hero ball mode. You have to move the ball against Miami.

Can't blame Gallo he brought it this game on both ends. Where has that defense been all season from.him?

Hope we can get one from the Knicks tomorrow.

[bleachkit]

Why at the end of games does Trae do the dribble for 20 seconds and then take a tough shot against a double team? Is that our best play? I don't care what his stats are, he's not Michael Jordan. Play smart team ball.

No... Huerter had two or three bad plays.

I will give him a pass on Fouling PJ Tucker because Tucker is a bad FT shooter and it may have been an effort play (though he jumped in there very late). 

However, Herro owns Kev and so does Butler. 

[benhillboy]

Trae was -35 in this two game set.  Delon?  +5.

I want @TheNorthCydeRises admit for once that Trae Young blew this game

I usually agree with @TheNorthCydeRises so I will say it. Trae took a very bad hero 3 at the end but even after we still had a chance, then Huerter had a terrible pass in and somehow hunter and collins collided.

nate made the worse decision of them all by not putting in OO at the end instead of Gallo….

The starters didn't play well. The bench did. Trae really struggles without the option of spamming that 1-5 PnR late.

7 games under .500 and 3.5 games out of the Play In spot and STILL freefalling. Not looking good at all. I may have to start tracking draft position on Tankathon again and watch the rest of this season for "entertainment purposes" only. I honestly thought those days were over for a while.
