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

He's a good player. Ya'll just don't appreciate what he does on a nightly basis. That's normal on here, always propping up the wrong shit on average.

Can we fire Nate yet? This team struggling in the 3rd against the zone was embarrassing. Shades of Lloyd Pierce

[Alf]

58 points in the paint and we only had 34 and once again gave the opposing team way too much time to find space to shoot. I love my Hawks, Lord knows I do, but damn hard to watch the majority of the time.

Hey at least I enjoyed watching the Skyhawks win today, even met a couple of the players

OO can't anticipate.  He has some tools though.   Plus, the Bigs picked after him are probably not better than him...

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

There are In delusional Hawks fans minds only..

I am even at the point, we gotta try someone different with different tactics. I don't like Mike D'Antoni but @Diesel has a point. We gotta get an offensive minded coach in here.

I felt our defense was solid for most of the night. Shit, we gave up 106 points. That's usually a win for us

@marco102 you might be right about missing Jent.

Who is the Hawks shooting coach? We can't shoot for shit!

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. 

He is our Ruben Patterson. Hate to see it. Capela is much better than him. OO seems to never be a confident shooter.

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

 

Kenyon Martin JR demolished him last game. Had 21 and 15 on 80% shooting.

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%

3rd quarter shot chart:

 

4th quarter shot chart:

 

2nd half shooting:  

• Trae:  1 - 8

I guess we watched different games friend. I thought we were putrid again and the amount of points we give up on average is not sustainable for the long term.

The lack of respect of OO befuddled me on here. He's one of the best switch bigs in the NBA. Protects the rim. Has the highest TS in Hawks history. Athletic and rebounds at a great clip per36. And can defend small and bigs. There aren't many guys like him around the league but this site consistently attacks him and undervalues him. It's disgusting and honestly, shows why our collective BBIQ as a fanbase is underwhelming

Just like you do John and stop insulting people's intelligence like you are some basketball savant.

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.

That was all about coaching.

Miami started running that short pick and roll with Herro coming off the wing.  Murray got caught behind Herro far too many times, and Bam had easy pickings at the rim over OO.

That got them back in the game very quickly, and they never looked back.

[terrell]

Well at least Nate tried….. He has clearly moved on from the Holiday bros…… playing AJG and JJ but this team is TRASH.

We got what we thought would be among the best backcourt in the game but they are….. meh.

Collins and Hunter….. meh.

Tear this crap down and build with AJG…… everybody else can get the hell out of here. Dead ass serious.
