Our wings are so soft.

Must be a lot of vegas money on us not cracking .500

Jalen Johnson must be the worst player in the history of earth to not be able to crack the rotation in front of Knox.

No. Nate is just a freaking idiot.

[RedDawg#8]

I wonder if coach knows that Jalen Johnson can play PF.

Missing 2 and we decide to go small instead of trying out the uber athletic rookie who would provide us size and length.

And better rebounding than Wright and Hunter I would wager.

These guys just don't want to get right.

Don’t tell Calvin Ridley

But seriously, we blew it against the Pistons and are doing the same thing against a scrub Portland unit.

We are not serious.

 

[RedDawg#8]

I would love for Nate to bench everyone and put the end of the bench guys in. You know, the ones who actually practice full court during the season.

We need a SPARK, not a rotation.

Those who say Capella hasn't taken a step back this year are smoking some good stuff. He's a shadow of who he was last season.

[Atlantaholic]

What a dumb decision to start Wright and have Hunter at PF. No offense, no rebounding.

[LucastheThird]

We have the obvious size advantage but keep jacking up bad 3s. 

[LucastheThird]

Josh Hart has Huerter looking foolish

Stop taking all these stupid ass 3s leading to fast breaks man. Someone other than Trae drive to the basket.

But they are supposed to be our 2 best perimeter defenders.  The defense should be better with those 2 in the lineup, but it obviously isn't.

Delon was wide open.  He has to knock that shot down.  But to your point, when the shot goes up, either go to the paint to get an offensive rebound, or get your butt back on defense.

Yeah I don't get it. And without Gallo there's no instant offense either.  This is gonna be a struggle all game.

Hunter is playing PF 

Not sure if you are watching but we are getting MURDERED inside and in transition.

Lou Williams mama decked out in a bunch of chains, including a 23 chain, was great.

Hunter may be playing PF, but Portland has a bunch of forwards and guards out on the floor.  They're not playing big at all.

[Atlantaholic]

How do you not start Onyeka and play him 35 minutes tonight? Blows my freaking mind.
