Official Game Thread: Hawks at Hornets

No one shoots the ball on those long distance heaves. They wait until the buzzer sounds to take the shot so it looks like they are shooting it for real for the fans but they know it won't count because it is after the buzzer.

Blaming Trae for not taking those shots is just silly and frankly stupid. We aren't losing games because we don't take the few three quarter or half court shots at the end of quarters or halves. I can't believe this thread is this long because of one person stupidly arguing this. 

We lost that game because we played bad defense as a team and Charlotte legit just shot lights out the entire game as a team. Blaming only Trae for the loss is so passé at this point.

On the flip side, we can't except Trae to be perfect on offense while still stopping every player on defense (since it's ALL his fault we suck ). YES, he still needs to be focused, locked in and give effort but he's always going to be at a disadvantage given his size.

What I want is for the lengthy BIG WIINGS and the Bigs in general to play Big and Tough!

This is what happened to the Big wings last night...

Sometimes a team just has your number, but why it gotta be them, smh.

Somewhere in Phoenix, somebody is saying the same thing about us.

Mine always does this after the recent re-start.

144 points to Charlotte? This team is the drizzling shits.

There is an issue with the red Hawksquawk "skin".   So you have to go nekked.

This will change the color of the site to White and Blue ( nekked ), and all of your issues will be fixed.

Did y’all notice one impressive thing that was new and impressive about Bey last night?

He made QUICK decisions. Whether to shoot, cut or pass, decisive and quick, that’s a motion offense he would flourish, I don’t get why Nate won’t run I really don’t. Nate is making the game of basketball look hard when it shouldn’t be that hard.

He's a buyout guy.  Gonna join a contender.

@kg01  I thought that we were trading Trae for the remaining years on Tristan Thompson's contract.   You know... Championship Fabric in here...

We would have to add too many 1sts to make it a fair trade.

Other than last night i guess. 

btw, I went and rewatched the end of 3rd quarter heave by Trae.   ONly reason he attempted it is because we were down 13 points and he finally realized that hey, maybe if I make that shot we have a better chance of winning the game.  So one time all year his brain actually worked.

What are you talking about man?   You're a psychic reader of motivation now?   You accused someone of doing something that was the exact opposite of what they did.  Just put on the bucket hat and give this one up.    I've dug myself a hole like this thousands of times.  You can't get out.

it's not hard to read body language and assign motivation based on time and score.

You found one time all season that Trae attempted a heave and I figured out the reason for the annomaly (Sp).

Ant-Man becoming a superstar right before my own eyes... @marco102 would be so proud. 

Yup, I really wanted him in that draft to pair with Trae.
