Official Game Thread: Hawks at Bulls

[benhillboy]

Lavine treating Bogi like a traffic cone again smh 

[kg01]

Too bad.  We looked cooked from the start.

another shit game from trae

[terrell]

All I got to say about this season is..

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Teams are starting to double Murray on that FT jumper.  That was the major adjustment Chicago made in this game for him.

[benhillboy]

I give Trae an A for effort on digging down on Vucevic and closing out the shooter, they still scored though

[JTB]

This is my issue with this team.

yes when they are healthy they are good but 1 starter impacts this team WAY too much.

we shouldn’t be this freaking bad but the record tells the whole truth. They can’t compete with even the worst teams with 1 starter out.

 

that is a sign of extremely bad depth .

[Sothron]

Trae once again can't shoot. Team made way too many turnovers and gave up way too many offensive rebounds.

Bogi defending was as bad as we all thought it would be. I like Bogi but he's addition by subtraction at this point.

It would have been nice to have another tall guard/wing player that could shoot and play a little defense and handle the ball a little. Oh wait. We had that and traded it away for nothing so Tony Ressler could save money.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bulls went on an 11 - 3 run to start the 4th, before Trae came back in, and that is basically the difference in the game.

We have no depth because Tony Ressler won't pay the luxury tax. He literally handicaps the team with this.

[Packfill]

So weird how off Trae's shot is this year.  

[Peoriabird]

Another loss without Dre...hmmmm

Despite his lack of defense, I've always wanted a guy like DeRozan on this team with Trae.  I think Murray is a better fit, but DeRozan is the type of closing scorer we need.

Milwaukee - 150

Detroit - 130

 

LOL . . that was an All-Star game score.  I know Milwaukee had 83 points in the 1st half.

I agree have always wanted DeRozan on the team.  He can't be stopped. 

[JayBirdHawk]

We're streaking - losing. SMDH.

You know what another issue is?

15 offensive rebounds given up, leading to 10 extra shots for the Bulls.

Cheap ownership in Atlanta has always been the norm.  At least most of my 62 years.

This is true.  But this is who we are.   We traded depth for Luxury tax savings. 

We all know Hunter would have made a difference tonight.   We needed his defense and scoring.   But... there it is... we lost. 

 

[Peoriabird]

Can we stop all of this talk about Trae being a good 3 point shooter and that he should keep shooting logo 3's @TheNorthCydeRises

another shit game from trae

We're paying this man 40 million $ to stink up the joint nearly every night.. Trae needs to get his shit together..

This Trae Murray duo just isnt gonna work IMO......Trae needs the ball to be more effective. Fk this offball BS.. We need superstar Trae on offense, or its over for us long term...

And Murray not getting to the line as a SG is another problem..No different than Huerter was... Just better D.. But Hawks went from top offense to mediocre...

We're no better than last years team after giving uo 3 1st rdrs.. smh

On to OKC where we'll probably get embarrassed by a much younger squad..

I wasn’t expecting a win without Dre and OO.  Pressing Bogi into a crucial defensive role just ain’t it.  I wouldn’t have minded a few minutes from Forrest.

They both better have they ass out there with bells on Wednesday tho.
