RedDawg#8 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 What happens when a guy doesn’t have game reps for months. Play speed and practice speed are completely different. Also wouldn’t surprise me if kid faked the injury as an act of protest against the main club for sending him down. Shitty situation either way. Sophomore year completely wasted. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very coincidental that AJ basically gets shut down for personal reasons, and within a month, his dad gets fired after leading Milwaukee to a 30-13 record. When the story eventually comes out i think it's going to be a little different than everyone has guessed. I don't know what's going on but something is really off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you feel a sense of “heaviness” (With emotion not Zion’s love lard @kg01 ) you just can focus enough to ball . Get well AJ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophomore year completely wasted. I don't think AJ is that type of person from what we've seen of him so far. The game aired live on YouTube yesterday afternoon and AJ didn't look disgruntled or anything. He was actually playing well before he went down. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like your first comment doesn't match the second. Like 'I see why he could've gotten hurt' but 'I wouldn't be surprised if he faked it'.. Stop confusing your fans(sic), redd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he subbed in 5 guys to take out the starters. AJ was among those subbed in, so I was glad. But the question is why TF am I full-on dreaming about watching a Hawks game? In fairness, I've been up the past few nights with kg04 and 05 since they're both sick. Was it more like a foreboding vision or a fever dream? Sounds like bad taco meat, kg.

Moderators macdaddy Posted February 26 Moderators Report Share Posted February 26 Would love to see AJ getting Hawks minutes before the end of the year. I can't see any reason not to otherwise we'll have no idea what we have for next year. Does the Gleague want guys like Baze for mentorship or is he really trying to get back into the NBA. I guess the latter but it's hard to imagine him getting back on a nba roster. there are too many guys that can do what he does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDawg#8 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Happy that AJ is healthy and playing. Sorry for being an A-Hole, as you can tell, this season has left me quite disgruntled as a fan. I hope AJ gets that mojo and confidence back. They are different players but Kobe looks so much better after crushing it in College Park. Would love for a return of 22-23 AJ. Part of me wishes some of our regular guys would go down there more often and get their shit together instead of slumping it on the main roster, but that’s just me.

If AJ has his shot back and is in the right space mentally, he needs to be back in the rotation ASAP. I don't even care about his defense since the team is pretty bad on defense all around. The team will need all the offense it can get, and AJ can provide that. Ideally, Kobe and AJ end up soaking up all of the backup PG/SG minutes for the rest of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we need a wing, but we need a wing that can defend. That's AJ's weakness right now, and offensively, his role would be the one Bogi plays. He's not to Bogi's level yet. If Trae hadn't gotten hurt, I would have likely left Bufkin at College Park as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
