I'm thinking Ressler is inept simply for not firing Schlenk. Nothing he does works.

I knew he was a dumbass when he gave Luka fkn Doncic away for Peter Dinklage and a pick(that eventually became a scrub)...

And then he doubles down and hands out these ridiculous extensions to avg players just because....................... Just damn..

Like I said, other than Murray and AJ

I couldnt care less what they do with anyone else. GM,Players, and coaches included..

Only positives from tonight were OO and Dre actually showed some signs of life..

So I guess they're alive afterall..

On to the next one.. smh

Negative post alert: It's looking like another season where the Hawks will have to fight to get above .500 during the second half of the season. Absolutely no excuse to allow 50 points in a quarter even in today's high scoring NBA. No pride, no leadership, and no toughness. This game was lost in the 1st.

 

Nope.

We have 3 starters hurt.  Can't judge this team with this many people hurt.

We're just in mid-December.  No need for hot takes like that . . . yet.

Ressler & Co. bought the Hawks for $850M.  It’s now worth $1.975B.  That’s all he cares about “working” lol. Can’t blame him one bit either.

Trae being hugely marketable to kids and the magical run while the core was still on rookie deals was a godsend for the ownership group.

I honestly hope you're right. I had high hopes for this season, even after the Huerter trade. Maybe my expectations were too high. I'm just tired of these listless performances.

OO is way too soft. I'd like him traded. 

And what do you think we'd get? This was one of his best games this season btw.. lol

There is a common theme in all these post-game loss wrap ups. It’s that we have INFERIOR players........................ smdh

hm. Dre had a much better game, and yet you won't recognize his value. 

OO will forever be a weak and undersized center, unless he develops his mid range jumper. He brings a lot of energy, but that alone won't cut it. 

[benhillboy]

Watching Cole Anthony play legit upsets me.  The Magic ran the Hawks from start to finish and I’m still calling bullsh%t on him being +1.

You think Hawks fans are some of the more knowledgeable or demanding in the league?  Atlanta is a football town through and through.  

Hawks fans don’t go on sports radio and sound like their mom died, Georgia and Falcons fans do.  Long as Trae has a Top 10 selling jersey he’s here to stay.  Hell @TheNorthCydeRises buys half of em lol.  Love you, North.

No. But I myself have only been to only 1 game this season.  This team just isnt exciting at all this season for me to spend $ on... Only to drive back home to Cobb County pissed off most of the time..... 

My wife and son enjoyed the game much better than I did btw. So I may go to a few more.. Not sure...

They just like hanging out, eating food, etc....

Im taking the game serious.. lol

I've bought 2 Trae jerseys so far.  The first one after the 49 point - 4 OT game in his rookie year.  And I bought the white #11 after Game 3 of the Miami series last year.   I should've bought the MLK #11.

Nope.  Give me a record.

Because he plays more of an ISO game than Trae does.   How does Doncic functions if he doesn't have anyone around him who can shoot the ball?  You'd be rooting for him to take 30 shots . . or despise him like you do Trae.

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The great Luka Doncic . . . down by 19 at halftime at home vs Cleveland.

He's -21 in the game, by the way, on 4 - 14 FG shooting.
