Official Game Thread: Hawks at Nets

[Sothron]

No such things as moral victories. That's something you tell children to get them to stop crying after a loss. We lost a game we should have won. It was great to see Trae and Bogi finally get shots to drop but we should have won this game.

5 missed 3s by JJ . . . all of them virtually wide open.

Get in the gym young fella.

Is he a 3pt shooter though, it's the sane issue with Collins as a stationary 3pt shooter. Get him.on the move.

JJ had the hardest but simplest assignment.. Stay on KD... ON 3 different occasions in the 4th.. He Left or let them get a switch.  And KD hit a wide open 3. 

JJ missed Rebounds.  Long rebounds just sailed right by him.   

If you're not going to stay on KD and you're not going to grab the rebound, why are you out there for damn near 35 minutes????

Limited options.  Kid is basically a rookie so I don’t take him over the coals.  Learn, grow, and get back in the gym and keep working.

We played Well.. but give them credit, they played well too.   Irving played really well.   I wish we would have subbed JJ for Culver or OO..

I miss JC.

Tough game for JJ but you gotta remember this is essentially his rookie season. He's still got a lot of tools to work with

I know some people will say a moral victory in a professional sport is a waste of time, but I truly believe this kind of gritty performance is gonna help us in the short and long term. Could we have boxed out better? Sure. Cut down on giving them open looks? Absolutely. But the heart and energy we played with for all 48 minutes will only leave us in good stead moving forward when DJM and company get back.

Great to see Bogi back also. With his shooting being like it can be(As shown tonight) and when the aforementioned DJM and company return, we will be a force to be reckoned with in each and every game.

Alas though, I must now see what time Advance Auto Parts opens in the morning so I can get some cleaning supplies.

Yeah.. but if JCs shot aint falling at Least he's playing defense and rebounding. 

What did we get from JJ?

My only thing is I don't know if we will see Championship Bogi consistently.   We wasted Championship Bogi.  One thing that Trae has to learn and memorize.. Keep feeding the hot hand.   Feed the hot hand until it's the size of a turkey!

I'm not gonna nitpick.. he had a tough task guarding KD.

 

[Diesel]

For those who blame Nate...
It's hard to applaud our team who are three starters down and then Blame the coach for losing to a good team in a tight game. 

I wish Nate would have subbed out JJ.. but Idk.

I think all of his other subs were very timely.   His plays worked very well.   IN the 4th, I think we did better than we have of late.   I haven't poured over the stats but I think our gameplan was good. 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

I like Trent Forrest's game.

Trent is a player!!  He just knows the game and has confidence.  He's a keper.  I'm not mad at AHoli either.. but for a Young guy, Trent is good.  Almost makes me forget about getting Delon Back.

Note to Mr. JBH...   She's just looking at his game!!

[benhillboy]

Can’t blame Bogi for nothing tonight.  That was easily a Top 10 game for his career, probably top 5 as a Hawk.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

EPIC MELTDOWN by the Sixers, if the Lakers can make these 2 FTs.

This is CRAZY!!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

And AD misses the last FT . . . they go to OT.

Sixers basically blew a 9 point lead with under 30 seconds to go.  Lakers missed 2 FTs down the stretch, or they would've lost.

Hawks are in 6th if the Sixers lose.

[Diesel]

We still have to figure out how to make all this work with our regulars!

Was JC at the game?

[benhillboy]

Ressler cheap ass should’ve hired them Jewish protestors to sit court side and heckle Kyrie.  He went ballistic in the 3rd.
