Even the most positive around these parts need to admit this is looking pretty grim. Lots of work to be done. It’s crazy how we went from a team with so much potential to glaring holes everywhere. I’ve never seen a team with the same personnel and roster look so different from one season to the next. 

That's what makes this season so frustrating. It's time to face the reality that this isn't the same team. They're freefalling right now and I don't see that changing in the next few games. They can easily be +10 games under .500 by next week.

He's always been too small for Randle.

Collins has chicken legs...He's just too weak...

[Hawkmoor]

Well.  At least the Patriots are down 27-3 in the playoffs in the third quarter.

Trae's fault.

 

They just can't blossom the way they need to, if they get all of these wide open looks.   They need the ball in their hands so they can be great.

Nobody is untouchable.  Trade away the whole roster.  Schlenk failed on all counts.  Send him & the coaching staff packing.

[REHawksFan]

Firing Nate is never gonna happen but he certainly doesn't have the magic touch like he did last year. This team is turrible.

[NBASupes]

Trae actually played well on both ends late. It was the others outside of Gallo this time around especially JC who killed us. The bench did their thing

[Bonkers]

Game after game they prove how much of a FLUKE that playoff run was

 

After all that venom y'all spit at me look how stupid y'all look now. Once again Bonkers is RIGHT!!!

Gritty, tough play from the bench upended by the soft ass starting line up. Hustle and creating offense from good plays on defense ruined by Nate and his dumbass lineups… pathetic.

I just don’t understand why McMillan pulled him …I really don’t get it 

Why did he pull Wright?  Second night in a row he's pulled him, and bye bye rally.

Trae, OO and Dre are the only guys that should be not included in trade talks.

I love JC but the combo of him, Bogi, and Kev are too limited collectively. We need elite creation from either the 2 or 4 and we don't have it.

The point of attack is Trae and he needs someone who can alleviate the pressure. Dre might be that guy but we need someone who LIKES attacking the basket. 

JC can't play the 5 no matter how much they force it. Shoulda kept OO and Gallo if they wanted to win.

I remember last season in the playoffs against the Bucks JC tried to back down Tucker and Tucker literally brickwalled him LOL

JC is really weak physically. Which brings up another thing that needs to be addressed 

Who is the Strength & Conditioning coach for this team?!?!? They always get pushed around

Several reasons. First, the team had something to prove with the Llyod Pierce situation.  They played harder immediately after he was let go.  Next, teams have figured out how to stop that lob and pick and roll. The other major play are isolation plays with Trae.  This exposes the lack of creativity and plays being run by Nate.  Nate also has questionable rotations. Next, where are the rookies?  Where is the development?  It appears the team has just found its level because of these issues.

Welp....

Make it Hunter and OO only.

It wasn't an fluke. The 2nd half of the regular season, obvious fluke. 

[Peoriabird]

The Hawks refuse to employ big men that can rebound the d-mn ball except Capela!  And when Capela is out, Nate plays small and then wonders why the team gets killed on the boards!

The starters aren’t working and Nate,Kevin and John have been exposed.OO did a great job and needed to be rewarded.
