Our smaller players are not good enough on offense or defense to justify playing small the majority of the time.

That should've said tough enough . . . not good enough.

Lane wide open for the Knicks now

It generally is without Clint.

This may be collins last game with us

If Collins had Randle's shot creating and making ability, he'd be 1st team All-NBA

I remember telling a Hawk fan Randle was an all nba player for a reason. He got mad at me like I was delusional.

The reason why the 10 day guys looked good was because even though they couldn't score they were aggressive on D and banged inside. 

We got a bunch of inconsistent offensive minded guys who don't get in the mix.

Cam was smart for wanting out of this mess.... Who's next?

Hunter has taken 3 shots to Trae's 12.. He might be next...

[terrell]

Trae is so horrible right now.. Good lord...

Hawks arent winning shit if our "superstar" keeps playing like shit..

Time to watch some football..

Hawks are a mess...

Thanks Schlenk...

Fournier really changed our scheme against the Knicks. We used to just put Trae on a weak player but who's weak offensively on the Knicks. They might not be #1 or #2 options but they aren't weak.

That 1-5 PnR is Trae's daddy and without Clint, it's not possible. 

[aali34]

Our offense is so damn predictable and cookie cutter. We have too many limitations in different areas and our chemistry and flow is too trash to mask it.

 

[hawkman]

It's a lot easier watching these games when the expectations are out the window. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Knicks have Robinson - Randle - Barrett in the game at the end.   That's a very big lineup that can also rebound.  

And Nate doesn't see an issue with that?

 

He's asking all of his wings and guards to play bigger than what they are, and they just can't do it.

Jalen Jonson is just rotting on the bench.  A 6-8 . . 6-9 player who is long and athletic. 

Who Gives A F--K if he's not ready.  Play the kid and see if the better players on the Hawks can make him look better than what he is.

When I said no wing will have success with Trae, Traeway nation got mad.

Bogi is literally the ideal 2 and he's having his worst season as a pro.

Because Trae is so limited..

[thecampster]

They keep showing Cam clapping for his new Knicks teammates and its ticking me off more than it should.

[JTB]

I’m not sure why I put myself through watching these games.

Everybody has been terrible or made a boneheaded play.

[aali34]

Going into the lottery again might not be a bad idea lmao. This team desperately needs another guy who can get theirs consistently.

And Dre has not been featured enough. 3 shots only?

[Peoriabird]

If we don't get a 7 footer on this team in this next draft, Schlenk is an idiot

He's not limited but schemes against him are beastly. He needs the spacing that Clint gives him from those screens.

And JJ can at least rebound unlike the other wings..

He'll never get featured as long as ball hog 1 man show is around..

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The only way to remotely fix this with our current lineup, is to play Gallo at the 3 as the starter, and play Hunter at the 2 as a starter.

Trae - Hunter - Gallo - Collins - Capela . . ( Tonight it would be Okongwu )

 

That gives you a big enough team to put out on the floor, and you don't lose anything from a shooting standpoint.
