A wise man once said, "I get my peaches down in Georgia..."

favorite part of last night's game was when the loose ball fell in between 3 Hawks and they all stared at each other till a Detroit player waltzed in and took the ball with no resistance.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate this team?

Hey @Sothron, I’ve never waivered on wanting Zion.. (don’t tell kg) also, I’ll do a JC for Siakam flip. Siakam+Okongwu =trouble for the opposition.

JC needs to add more skill, im sorry. Can’t ride with athleticism alone.

You're not alone....I hate them too.. And it's only year 4 of a total rebuild.. 

All of that draft capital down the drain...

But at least we get to look forward to  Kev and CC extension.. And JC mini max contract for 5 years...smh

I would take Jeremy Grant, Saddiq Bey,  Cade Cunningham, and Stewart to go with Trae Young if I'm doing a draft of these 2 teams...

 

In other words, without Trae, the Hawks would be a 15-20 win team...

 

If Trae doesn't have 35+, more times than not we will lose to teams who have more overall talent, but not a player of Trae's caliber offensively (i.e Pistons)

 

I wish I could do as bad a job as Schlenk at my own job, and still keep it.... smfh.. Just horrible...

Nate Dogg has spoken. We’re going to hold you to it now!  No more talking, show me the minutes!!!

This game was a win for me just because JJ got meaningful playing minutes. His 3 ball was off, but he has great moves to the hoop and can dribble far better than JC.   

If he continues to get minutes the rest of the year, and continues to show that he can play, the decision to trade JC becomes more of a reality.........GIVE JJ MIN!!!!!

I can almost understand tired legs..

We are streaky but we shot 31% from three.  This is after hitting 42% against the Knicks (with a struggling Gallo).

I mean TLC = 1 for 6,  Kev 2 for 7 and Hunter 1 for 4...  That's KOD.

 

Last 5 games, our starting 2 guard is averaging less than 9 ppg on 30% shooting with 2 TOs per game. All while averaging 30 fkn mpg. I guess Nate gives him so many min for his stellar defense....................................

 He’s got to be happy he signed that extension because this season has been a step back on both ends. Good lord what an overpay...

At this point, I want to see more JJ and Wright..

And less Huerter and Hunter...

[Plainview1981]

Nobody other than Trae and OO are worth a damn.

I hope they lose the stupid play in game.

I make no excuses for Huerter...  You can save your vitriol.  I give none for Bogi or Hunter either.  LIke I have said.. we have the streakiest Wings.

If we passed on Huerter for Hart (in this reality) then Travis needs to be hung up by his thumbs...

I think force will make us play JJ.   Just like force is making us play Wright. 

For that Nate should be hung up. 

However, let's not start the narrative that JJ is so great.  Everytime we have put him on the floor, he has been a defensive assignment blower... However, I want to see if he can learn it.   His rebounding is strong and needed.

What narrative? When did I say JJ was so great?
