Official Game Thread: Hawks at Mavericks

[DS5]

Why is Doncic complaining about that call? That would be a flagrant if it was Hunter. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Never talk about Trae crying ever again.  Luka should've received a tech for that.

Nice AJ.  He can't guard you.

No JJ still?

But we gonna keep throwing Bogi out there to shoot bricks?

Ok then Nate..

It's egregious.  He was just starting to get into rhythm 

[benhillboy]

Long gone are the days when players just put their hands up for the scores table on obvious fouls.

Don't know whom to give credit to, but we made adjustments, defensively, on Doncic and he did not score a point in the second quarter. 

[JayBirdHawk]

3 point lead at the half. I'll take it.

[terrell]

Other than JJ not playing it was a good half.

2nd half is when the game starts..

But we traded baskets with their scrubs so it cancelled everything out.

He’ll make some adjustments but Dre is simply a good matchup due to his size and rare gambling style.  How Luka gets you is reaching and jumping on fakes.  Gotta be positionally sound and balanced in your footwork, which Dre has always been.

I'm always on the refs because they are straight corrupt in this league but the game is going to be unwatchable if guys keep flopping.   They cracked down on some flops but guys are flopping on screens and rebounds all the time and it's weak as hell. 

[Final_quest]

We have not trailed for 2 1/2 games straight!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Interesting game so far.  Almost complete balance offensively.  Neither team playing good defense, but the Hawks have forced 10 turnovers.

Despite Trae not really forcing anything so far, I fully expect him to force the issue a little bit more, especially if Luka picks up that 4th foul in the 3rd.  He's ( -5 ) right now, which is normally a bad sign for the Hawks.  But everyone in the starting lineup, including Capela and AJ, have picked up the slack.

[JayBirdHawk]

Bogi has got to hit something.

So if Collins is traded does JJ get his mins?  

[Sothron]

It bothers me that JJ had been playing well and Nate just completely froze him out of any minutes. Pathetic.

How is he gonna be ready to take over if he can't even get 5 token minutes.....aaaaahhhhhhhh. it's driving me nuts.

Drive the ball please. Don't get jump shot happy.

 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

Hunter with 4 fouls.

[benhillboy]

John shot looking much better lately 

[JayBirdHawk]

OO with 4 fouls.

Sigh

[Diesel]

That's some BS.... acting.
