Tight sphincter in the kg household, for sure.

Porzingus has revitalized his career. Dallas basically gave him away in a salary dump. When healthy he can ball.

Watched the end of the Heat Game.  Wow, the Refs do know how to blow the whistle when Bam commits a foul??!??!

Quin on the defense limiting 3 ptrs....sometimes we help unnecessarily giving up practice shots......he understands you want to help your teammate but sometimes you have to help by not goving up the shot.

 

 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

This has got to be hard, new plays and terminology right in the middle of a season.

c'mon guys - gotta pick it up.

I hope that Quin brings in a shooting coach that can help. 

Can we get that guy lethal shooter?

I didn’t see the game but gonna watch the replay.  From the box score it looks like Porzingis was a problem but the game was ultimately decided by the Hawks bench doubling the Wiz in scoring 35-17 lol.  
 

Usually when Delon posts a better +/- than your starting backcourt combined you’re gonna lose, I can’t underestimate how fortuitous this win was.  I did hear on the radio Trae had 3 boards and 3 steals in the first quarter, that was eye-popping.

Delon WS/48 is .162.  DJ The Short-Stay Picks Crook at .092.  I can’t man.

Good road win anyway despite being down 15 in the third apparently.  Let’s Go!

Bro your Delon obsession is wild. He's literally bouncing around the league from team to team and you talk about him like he's the second coming of Isiah Thomas.

Great win tonight. We got down by 15 on the road in the 3rd and yet battled back and won this game. HUGE game from our bench. The effort on defense is so there under Quin. Trae again has a good defensive game. This dude is truly becoming at least an average starting defender at PG. 

[Sothron]

I have to add that watching Jalen with a HC that actually will play him versus Nate who refused to play is unreal. Nate would literally lose games and not play someone with real talent because it would make him "look bad". 

They should have fired him after last season and jumped on Quin sooner but oh well. We got the right coach. This season is basically a long preseason/training camp for the future.

JJ is taking advantage of playing time...

The same way that AJ took advantage of playing time under Nate. 

Now that AJ has hit the rookie wall, it's alright for him to get DNPs and we would never accuse Quin of not playing rookies...

The hypocrisy is so thick...   

Nate had a 9 man lineup...  Nate doesn't know what he's doing... he should be playing 10..

Quin has a 9 man lineup...  Oh, it's a league standard. 

Nate has JJ and AJ as the 9th man and plays AJ...  Nate doesn't play rookies. 

Quin has JJ and AJ as the 9th man and plays JJ...  It's so good that JJ has a HC that will actually play him. 

 

Don't get me wrong, it was definitely time for Nate to go.. but some of the things that yall accuse him of now that he's gone and actually while he was here is B.S. and you don't hold Quin to nearly the same standard.

It's not the same in my opinion. 

JJ barely played under Nate but when he did, he did well. Still couldn't crack the rotation no matter how well he played. AJ played some under Quin, but he was terrible on the occasion.

As of right now, JJ looks vastly superior to AJ. I don't think AJ should be taking minutes from anyone in the current rotation. 

[BrazilianHawk]

Great game by Trae, BTW. He's looking a lot smarter on his shot selection, not going right into their bigs in the paint.

 

If he can keep this defensive intensity, watch out... I definitely wouldn't mind having a true superstar in our roster. DJ needs to be better than this, for sure. 

 

Great win, on to Friday!

It's the exact same.   AJ has not seen the floor, except in garbage time, under Quin.

Jalen Johnson.

This year, he played in 61 games.   He has 883 mins.  He averages 14.5 mpg.  That didn't happen in Quin's 4 games with us.   That means that Jalen played under Nate?!?  Nate played Jalen.   For all of you who say that Nate didn't play Jalen... 

Jalen has 883 minutes of play.  14.5 minute per game.  This when Nate was HC most of the season.

So under Nate.. Jalen played in 55 games and avered 14.4 mpg.   Under Quin, he has played in 6 games and averaged 15.3 mpg.   And Not was "not playing Jalen"....

Yall rehash the same old arguments that are not true.. today.
