Bey is not worth 4/90 like he supposedly wants. He needs better and more consistent defense to get anywhere close to that contract demand. 

More like 4/60 or 4/72 at most. No more bad contracts please..

He's never gonna get that type of contract. He can't guard shit. He defends like Kevin

I'll consider it the way he played against Cleveland. 

[terrell]

3 bench players with more minutes than 3 starters.

That's coaching.

Bench had ± advantage.

Dre had to go to the locker room to be treated for something , and Collins just getting back but still.... I'm giving Prunty the benefit of the doubt... lol

The nets are a dreadful matchup for us as they are currently constructed. Sunday afternoon matchups are typically dreadful  for us. 
 

we played maybe a collective 2.5 good quarters. Yet we still won …
 

with 99% confidence we lose this game with the former coach at the helm. 

that is improvement. That’s what I want to see day to day.

We get Washington next. They tend to do everything within sets but have no creation outside of it. Think highlight factory Hawks. This should be a Capela impact game. The Wizards have a great bench so we must dominate our starting minutes. Hunter has to beast out as Deni is guarding him. KP v. JC in a matchup I expect to lose but I want JC to hit open threes and force KP out of the lane. We need to beat Washington.

That's not luck.  That's a skillful offensive player having the presence of mind to get the shot off, and feeling where all defenders were around him.

Yep Prunty agrees. Said how calm Trae is in these situations

I changed my opinion literally within that thread. I wasn't thinking about what Hunter actually got at that moment. 

[JayBirdHawk]

  is this a dig at his former boss?

Good call. We needed each of those minutes from Bogi, Bey, and Okongwu

I said last week "whoever the Coach is, it would be an upgrade if they would just bench Bogi in late game defensive situations, and let anyone but Trae inbound the ball"...

Prunty was 1-2.. lol

Collins, I'm assuming, is still on a minutes restriction.

Hunter got hurt in-game.

Okongwu was outplaying Capela.

Bogi was red hot shooting.

Bey was being used to cover for Hunter and Collins.  5 minutes PT for him tonight is unacceptable.

 

Still need to find JJ consistent minutes, to keep him engaged.

JH drilling late game 3 for Dallas.. smh

He actually got the start today.. lol

Happy for any success that comes his way. Always wanted  the downward performance spike to reverse, and of course, especially while he was a Hawk. Good guy.

Dallas blows a 27 point lead to the Lakers. Count your blessings Hawks fans.

Dallas was up 26 points  in the 2nd quarter and lost

I won't stand for these lies and slander, burd.  No way a team with the transcendent star drops a game in that fashion.  He would elevate even the meekest of scrubs by his mere presence alone.

Oh, I get it. You live in some alter universe where the Trae trade never happened.  Makes sense.  How many turnovers did Trae have late?  I bet he went hero mode and shot them outta the game, right?  

Burd, my username lied.  You tha kg one.  I almost fell for that.

Prunty.... No Punty!!!!
