Official Game Thread: Lakers at Hawks

[NBASupes]

Honestly, I want Wembanyama. We need him, bad. 

[Diesel]

We miss you Clint!!

 

Nate get your bags..

[marco102]

This team sucks. I guess they want Nate fired.  I'm so sick of these lazy a** mothers.

Any semblance of transition defense would have a Hawks win.

 

[NBASupes]

Trae

Griffin

Hunter

Okongwu

Wembanyama 

[Phunkabilly]

Seeing this many Lakers jerseys and the chants of "MVP! MVP!" while Lebron is at the foul line in State Farm Arena is about to make me puke.

[marco102]

Didn't think I'd be going to Tankathon this season, but here we are.

[terrell]

This team just looks defeated. There has to be change right?

All I can say is for anybody who doubt's Hunter's importance on our team, this is what we look like  defending without him.

 

Hunter and Capela.

Those are our 2 best defenders.  Not like we're stopping a lot of teams if they're not playing.  We have to outscore them.

 

Hawks shoot 48% FG . . 29% 3FG . . 14 - 20 FT

Lakers shoot 54% FG . . 31% 3FG . . 16 - 18 FT

It bothers me that they will wait out Nate to "retire" at the end of the season. Pathetic loss. Just f***ing pathetic. We played no defense at all one game after playing great defense against a much, much better Nets team.

We're short handed.

It affects us more than other teams, because our reserves aren't even average defensively.

They simply have to figure out what works when they have certain people out, and play to that particular player grouping's strength.

Been saying if CC was out we'd be in the Wemby Sweepstakes..

He's critical on D with Trae..

Schlenk created this bucket of crap and then left us a team of manure.. smh

What is the defensive adjustment you would've made in this game?

[BrazilianHawk]

So they got rid of a lot of picks to build this... ok.

 

It's starting to look like MAJOR mistakes were made. We're not good enough and now we don't have enough picks.  At times it sucks to be a Hawks fan. 

[NBASupes]

I fell Trae and Murray had nice moments but it was just inconsistent for the most part especially on D. 

Okongwu was the MVP tonight for the Hawks

Griffin did well tonight 

JC was bad

Bogi was good on O but terrible on D

JJ just looks outmatched for the most part but he had some moments

Okongwu was our best perimeter defender tonight. Yeah, it was a rough night for the guys on perimeter D.

How did we let this awful laker team score 130+. Just no fight to this team.

This is the scenario in any city that isn't a historic winner.

Plus, Lebron has always been loved in ATL.  The Laker fans probably bought these tickets back in September.

Double team Lebron and force one of their G league players to beat us. We didn't double him hardly at all.
