Nate had to challenge that.

I think he had just used his challenge on the 3pt step out.

Im so over the Trae Young era... Its a wrap.. 

 

 

 

 

Trae is still one of the best young stars in the league. Team needs retooling. OO looks to be a backup and situational starter.

This ain't a legit playoff team. We are just as much a pretender as Brooklyn and Toronto

Tank for Wemby.. smh

Schlenk would probably just pass on him for a dwarf..

Collins, Huerter and Griffin (I know still early but he has it) were great picks.

And we shipped Huerter away for a the worst player in the NBA this year. Yay. 

[NBASupes]

We just didn't make enough shots when we needed them. It's a make or miss league and it's hard to win when you shoot at 40%

But Hunter is a player that has a massive impact despite the fact he produces nothing of note on the stat sheet. Is why oppossing SFs like Caleb Martin and Kenyon Martin JR were shut down the last couple of games. Stuff that doesn't show up on the stat sheet.

Very fair point. Still doesn't excuse what I stated though.

If we win though, we don't get to keep it?

So it's one and done when you challenge a play?

Meh He sells tickets for Ressler, but he doesnt play winning basketball....

Quietest triple double ever for Herro.

I can’t even prop OO up on this one.  Bam totally finessed him and Dre after a slow start.

I usually save the critique and avoid all the arguments because I never expected much from this squad but this was pathetic.    Couldn’t even match the competitiveness of Martin and Ded.

Somebody is going to believe that you're not using Sarcasm if you keep this up.

At least the one positive is Collins had a really good game for the first time in what feels like ages.

Huerter was such an awful trade. Hope we use that pick for some shooting.

He didn't step up tonight and Bam did. This was definitely one of the games the naysayers can laid their heads on. We needed him and I really didn't see much on either side consistently. 

Trae and AJ was off tonight and no one really stood up to replace their scoring which obviously led to us scoring under 100 points for the 1st time all season.

We gonna be saying this all year with a team full of guys who cant shoot it consistently.. Starting with our "superstar"

Relying on an injury prone player that may never be back to 100% is a ticket for Nate to be fired.

 

He's a body though.  And a proven shooter.

The ceiling for this team included Bogi being in the lineup, and having the ability to play alongside Trae and Dejounte.

Really not a surprise that the Hawks have outside shooting woes, when we're missing one of our best shooters.

Opposing Sfs are averaging 21.5ppg on Hunter...... but the eye test shows that they are having their way too...

There are no Superstars on this team

I'm hoping that one day AJ can evolve into one someday. It won't happen with a Nate as the coach tho

OO is a bust as a #6 pick.. There I said it..

He had a really fantastic stretch last year... but it was literally like 3 weeks and other than that he's not very good. He's oddly a great defensive matchup against Giannis at least.
