Official Game Thread: Hawks at Lakers

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Cut this to 17 by halftime.

Lakers are a dumb playing team.

Everybody just be calm.

I appreciate the idea, but it won't turn this team around. Nate has already "lost" the locker room, if the players don't respect the coach benching them isn't going to get them to flip the switch, it'll just piss them off even more. Hawks front office should have already fired Nate, won't salvage the season but it's obviously necessary at this point. And I don't think it's Nate's fault necessarily but it's the way it is.

IMO they should have fired Nate in the offseason so they had time to perform a thorough search for a coach that can impart this team with a new-age offense with off ball movement and fire the team up on D. The signs were all there on Nate's shortcomings last season.

This is just brutal. We finally show some life against the Kings and respond the next game like this? Against a team of literally Lebron and G LEAGUE TALENT?? 

 

 

They still have a top 10 player in the league.  And Westbrook and Schröder are starter level guards on just about any team in the league.  The team isn't completely void of talent.

The big thing about the Lakers is that they play much more physical than we do.

I appreciate Trae trying to draw fouls...But at the point of attack on the three point line...Really???? Lebron ran right past him as he was standing still.

The Lakers suck, they won't make the play in unless AD comes back and stays healthy. They are better than the Hawks though that's for sure.

Wembanyama to the Hawks

Trae can't play without Capela. He is too much of a liability on defense.

He and Bog both....Traffic cones..

This is reminiscent of the Tyson vs Spinks fight.  I think he fell down during the National Anthem.  At least the Hawks waited until the tip off.

If there wasn't a lottery it would be such an unbelievable no brainer to tear this down and tank. Unfortunately we could finish with the worst record and still not get Wemby

For the record, I gave you the lol-then-cry reaction.

Well Scoot it is...

Clint ain’t a championship level player or nothing but based on his contract his value to this team almost can’t be put into words and I’m an eloquent ass mfer.

With Trae playing like this Clint is easily the most valueable player on the team. Murray doesn't get criticized enough, he sucks too. Have to say I was completely wrong about him. Can't believe we gave up so many assets to acquire him, that will haunt us for years to come. And now Trae has the yips and forgot how to score the ball after the Miami series. Dumpster fire. This is turning out to be more disappointing than the Shariffe-JT era.

Yeah Murray is avg as hell offensive player. 

3 1sts and 2 swaps later.......

[TheNorthCydeRises]

OK Trae . . . let's get it rolling to silence your haters.

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Collins, if you're going to foul, wrap him up.  Stop that weak stuff.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Collins can't buy an open 3.
