Official Game Thread: Hawks at Pistons

[hawkman]

Nate finally plays Jalen and puts him out of position at Center?

[Atlantaholic]

Who could have seen this coming? Detroit getting anything they want inside. You mean our small forward who averages 3 rebounds in 30 mins and our rookie PF/SF playig Center isn't defending well? Tough luck there Nate, 0 way to see this was a stupid ass f***ing decision. 

Why are we always stuck with bum coaches?

[benhillboy]

Trae didn’t even bother to cross half court on two straight plays like f&@k this lol

[terrell]

Dre, and Huerter are just not impact players. If they aren’t making shots they are just out there. The other teams don’t respect them and they play so soft. Bring in some real 3&D wings.. smh

We talk about Capelas decline, Bogi's decline. There has been no decline greater than Nate. Have been patient with him and hesitant to throw him under the bus but his lineups the last several weeks with Collins down have driven me over the edge. I swear to the almighty i could coach better than this.

I don't understand why Nate goes small when we need rebounding and defense.

Another totally stupid lineup again. oh well. 

No lineup was sustainable tonight.

 

Shoot the ball Jalen.  

[Atlantaholic]

And he always does it.

Nate killed the Hawks run with those crazy lineups. I wouldn't be too upset if the Hawks went in a different direction next season.

The clear lineup was Trae, Delon, Bogi, JJ, and OO. called it early, was shocked when Nate actually went to it, and it's the lineup that went on a +18 point run in 5 minutes. Too bad we only gave them the five minutes.

Somehow Cade Cunningham has a negative win share this season in over 1800 minutes.  The only two great games he’s played this season have likely come against us.  Wtf.

He was abysmal early on in the year and like several of thier players has turned it up. Similar to Trae's rookie season. Cunningham will be a good one I think.

He looks good, a lot better than Knox and TLC, and a lot better than Hunter and Huerter have looked during MANY games this year. 

Nate gonna let Huerter and Hunter get him fired.. Those guys are consistent at anything...

Sometimes we just lose it.  Nate needs a couple years off.  He’s hamstrung by this vanilla ass staff he put together.  I don’t think Nick does anything but chew gum.

Travis Schlenk loves drafting soft players.. I mean damn.. Trae is our smallest player but the toughest by a long shot.. He and Bogi...Everyone else Just a bunch of softies . Always getting pushed around...We need some dogs..

Yeah I recognize it’s an anomaly he looks like a keeper.  All of his numbers are good or mediocre outside of his 2 point shooting.  He must’ve been unwatchable early on.  

[hawkman]

If Jalen gets a DNP-CD on Friday night, Nate should be fired immediately.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

So are we at least satisfied of what we saw out of Jalen tonight?

Should he take the fringe rotation spot that TLC now has a stranglehold on?
