To have a bee in one’s bonnet means to be obsessed with a certain idea, to be preoccupied with something. The term is derived from the Scottish idiom a head full of bees. This term is first found in a translation of Virgil’s Aeneid, rendered by the Scott Alexander Douglas in the mid-1500s: “Quhat bern be thou in bed with heid full of beis?” By the late 1700s, the idiom evolved into have a bee in one’s bonnet, as evinced in Reverend Philip Doddridge’s Letters: “He has, as the Scotch call it, a Bee in his Bonnet.” The idiom is now often used as a an admonishment when someone is too obsessed with a certain idea, as in “Who put a bee in your bonnet?“

 

The fact that you looked this up . . . hahaha.

I never knew what it meant, so thanks.

Well damn. .

Like taking candy from a baby for Embiid on OO. We need to double that immediately

[TheNorthCydeRises]

This has been the case for a while now.  People just haven't been talking about it because they're so hyper focused on Trae.

Trae just doesn't get enough credit for his passes.

No . . . it's like what Bird said, and what I alluded to last night.  Dejounte is not running the bench unit well AT ALL.  Very loose with the ball.  Very few assists, unless in transition.  He even shoots the ball worse with this group.

We've got guys not getting into the right positions on the court, even running into each other. Murray's TOs are definitely his fault, but on that last one he had some miscommunication with OO who I think expected to get the ball in the post whereas Murray wanted a screen. Just simple stuff that has to get worked out.

Lol. Love it.

We need another player that can do that consistently.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

And there was a CUT by DeAndre toward the basket.  And Trae found him beautifully.

His best skill is passing..That and drawing fouls...

There is definitely still some of that.

Can we keep this up for 4 qtrs is the question.. We've seen this movie before...

What a pass that was!

[terrell]

What a horrible close to the half as usual. smh

[JayBirdHawk]

Sigh!

[Atlantaholic]

Not that impressed with that first half, except for Collins and Trae's passing. Man if Collins finally turned the corner last game that's a big boost. Now we just need DJM to get going again. 

[terrell]

Hawks are shooting 51% Fg and 36% 3pt%

Sixers are shooting 41% FG and 30% from 3

And we're only up 4..

Not a good sign.... 

3rd qtr will be crucial..

This shit is what got LP fired.. We cant finish for shit...

[terrell]

A sure fire way to lose for this team is to go up double digits.

They just lose focus and give games away.

Maybe we should let teams get 10 point leads early every game and try comebacks instead.

 

[JayBirdHawk]

Thank God for JHol - the only bench guy with points.

Forrest also has 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 rebounds.

Okongwu with ZERO field goal attempts.

OO has been so disapointing this season IMO.. I thought this was "the year" for him...

I’m clenching for the 3rd qtr meltdown. It’s become our MO. Do we have it in us to fix ourselves?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

No Trae.  Stop shooting!!

There you go WOAT!  Way to draw that foul.
