Official Game Thread: Hawks at Hornets

How does a professional team give up 13 out of 15 shots to a scrub team?
So frustrating...

[terrell]

Starting unit defense is always too dependent on Capela and he hasn’t been as spry since returning from his injury...

Welcome to the 2023 Hawks...

Yea we need a new coach. We got to much talent to get pasted by one of the worst teams in the league.

Tech #12 for Trae by the way.  3 more to waste before the 1 game suspension.

So Collins is out, and Bruno isn't dressed.

And we're playing a small lineup against a team that has some size.

 

No wonder why the defense looks like ass right now.  They're getting anything they want.

These are the kinds of decisions that I just don't understand.

Didn't dress Bruno. Why. Why would you be down 2 bigs instead of just 1? That's just hard to fathom.

Maybe our "talent" isnt as good as some think it is......... Just sayin

A missed dunk followed by a wide open 3...

[JayBirdHawk]

36 points given up 

[terrell]

Hawks 0-8 from 3.. smh.. All I can do is laugh at this point.. We just cant shoot..

[TheNorthCydeRises]

If we lose, I'll take 15% of the blame for it.

I bet $50 on a 3 team parlay

• Philly by -13.5
• Under 222.5 in the Cleveland / San Antonio game
• Hawks by -5.5

Trae is locked in though, so this will help.  Just need everyone else to pick up the slack, especially defensively.

[terrell]

Thank goodness Trae knows how to get to the FT line... Because nobody else really does especially Murray.. smh

Oh, my goodness.  If Bogie can't play tonight, what will we do?  Who do you suppose we might find to fill in for him?  Don't say any of the new players.  You know they haven't had time to memorize the entire play book (both pages) and would be completely lost.

Woe is me!

The bench plus DJ have to something in this 2nd quarter, but this is the quarter that this group has been struggling.

Nice take by JJ.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

JJ feeling it tonight.

Should've started this game.

[dalamchops]

the 2 drives where JJ just drove into the defender's chest, need to see more of that

[TheNorthCydeRises]

 

Looks like they heard you.

^This. It's time to stop limiting JJ or creating excuses to bury him on the bench. Let him roam free a bit and see what he can do.
