Official Game Thread: Hawks at heat (1 of 2)

[LucastheThird]

This was not a good half of basketball. We know the Heat will pack the paint, but we still look lost. 

[JayBirdHawk]

Let's see if Q can find some adjustments in the 2nd half because this is not pretty on either end.

[Peoriabird]

The paint is the only place the Hawks are scoring.  By the way, the pick 6's have to stop.

Apparently, the Hawks love being a .500 team and are content being in the Play In. I was wrong about them taking this personally. They're getting bullied and the response is exactly what it was in the Playoffs, skittish play and turnovers. I expected more fight.

[terrell]

I pray to God Quin and Korver are good talent evaluators...

 

[terrell]

JC plays like the OLD man at the YMCA who scores limited points, gets limited rebounds, constantly getting blown by, but talks and daps everybody ALL game. "Watch out, Youngblood". Smh

First half.. we just been missing shots.   Zeller???   However, if we can start getting some makes...things will change. 

[terrell]

Any halftime adjustments from Quin or nah?

I hope you're right, but they're missing shots because Miami is playing frantic defense. They're not going to let up in the 2nd half.

Im already looking forward to next season and the changes we make.. 

Hawks need some upgrades at 3 positions IMO.. Hopefully we can upgrade at least 2 in the offseason..

Please don't call Trae young a superstar again this year.

[Hawkmoor]

Man.  This team.

[hawkman]

How in the world did Miami get this psychological advantage over the Hawks? This looks bad.

This season is not over yet. There is plenty of evaluation and development left to go through. 

[terrell]

Our 2 "stars" are 3-19 vs our nemesis of last season? smh

Realistically, we will either upgrade 0 positions or 1 position. We gotta be smart in how we do it. A downgrade is more possible.
