Ok... OK... OK..

Every Freaking Game, I hear nothing but Contempt and Criticism for Nate about how he coached and how his rotations sucked.

Tonight, yall got to give him his flowers for this win.   He could have screwed this up several ways.. but he didn't.   Stop trying to make a narrative that JC asked to stay out. 

Give Nate his credit. 

Nate coached instinctively tonight. Made the right rotations.

That's unfortunate for him. His contract situation makes it a foregone conclusion though.

I’ll say it again: damn I’m really gonna miss Gallo

Yeah, he is great at drawing fouls and getting to the FT line.

The only thing I will concede is that the team desperately needs a starting 2 guard. Lord is Huerter slow! Can't the Hawks at least find a defensive 2 without offense?

It is easy to forget this I guess but when a fully healthy Bogi came back in the second half of last season he played above average defense. He was absolutely killing it on offense as well. My fear is I don't know if we'll get that Bogi again. I think they should do a MRI on his knee and see if he's torn something.

Well, it was mostly Barkley. Either way, both weren't wrong.

Best team win of the year.

All players contributed in some way, shape, or form in the 2nd half.

Even getting 14 points from Lou and Wright were huge off the bench, because they held the line and kept us close.

 

@Gray Mule - Hawks were 30 - 32 from the line.

[Dynamo]

Good team win.

Losing home streak ends!

Beautiful game, no one on this board can convince me we dont look a lot better the past three games.  Props to Nate for some nice rotations tonight, and the team for closing out on the 4th.  And finally what a game from OO!!! Love this kid

Oh please...yall got to move on from that. That Bogi is long gone.

Hunter needs 12+ shots every game going forward. He plays a lot better when he gets involved with the offense

They can trade him and if the team they trade him to cuts him, they can sign him to a more reasonable deal can't they?

Great to see Hunter with 9 rebounds tonight. He needs to consistently hit the boards and attack the paint (minus the turnovers) like he did tonight.

And I was just talking about how he needs to get better at rebounding.. Good to see..

Huerter cannot stay in front of anyone dribbling the basketball. He is a nice bench piece I guess but not a starter

I don't think you can pick up a cut player you just traded.

My criticism still stands though.  He did what I was complaining about.  He started matching up Hunter with Middelton. Kevin started playing better on him too.

That was my one frustration in the beginning.  Change up your rotations when the team isn't confidence.

If you do it in the off season you may be able to.

@JayBirdHawk any insight here?
