Just can't get too low or too high with this squad.

My big issue with Trae is that he must trust the shots that he normally takes, instead of trying to force everything.  People hate the long 3, but that's a shot that he's taken all of his life.

I'd much rather for him to take a shot like that, than to force some of the shots and passes he did in this quarter.

Horrible loss though.  They just can't stand prosperity.

Get it back on Tuesday vs Detroit.

Oh Ive been over this season.

Just sick of hearing exceuses for this MID team all year by the usual suspect/s..

The Hawks are what their record says they are..

I Never liked the Murray/Trae fit or the JC/CC fit from the jump....

Add in Dre (who you never know what youre gonna get from game to game) and this is what you get..

MID....

Its called Hero ball @JayBirdHawk

[Peoriabird]

Also Y'all keep wanting this team to shoot a lot of threes!  Well this is why the team should not because they are no good at it!

What do you call the 5 consecutive misses by the 'others'

[Peoriabird]

Hero ball!!!

[Peoriabird]

There was no ball movement or any attempts to get an easy basket.  When you shoot quick contested shots, it is called hero ball

Gotta love being a Hawks fan

This season is way more frustrating than tanking seasons...

Yes, we actually tanked for this squad.. smh

Hawks might as well throw in the towel NOW and tank for a top pick. Should have started earlier tbh..

Snider closing with the starting lineup was laughable. smh

 

I think he needs to change it up.

I don't know if Okongwu needs to be in there . . or Bogi . . or both.  But we need a different closing lineup.

And who do you pull?  I don't know.

Nothing for me to do but laugh at this,

Tale of two halfs. That second half was about as bad as it gets.

How is this even possible on an NBA squad? 

Quin should make them suicide drills all practice..

And he should run a few himself.. smh

Repeating for effect 

 

 

Clock got to 1:48 before we scored. That's almost 6 minutes.

[Peoriabird]

Still doesn't change the conclusion that this team does play well together.  The team always turns to hero ball when under pressure

[terrell]

Not a good game at all from Quin coaching wise imo, but how much longer can we keep blaming the coaches when the same problems are constantly showing over and over again?

At the end of the day, the players play...And its obvious we dont have the right players.....

The worst part is:

the trade for Murray put this team in a bind that even if the Hawks decided that it's time for them to blow the team up, we basically guarantee 2-3 top five picks for SA. That's how bad this trade was. smh.

Schlenk gonna go down as one of the worst traders in history(even if he didnt agree with the Murray deal).. smh

Yes THE TEAM…stops trusting each other when shit go left. Same problem all season. 
 

Everyone deserves blame. 5 missed opportunities in a row from others outside of Trae and that ignited Trae to go into hero ball. As the star Trae has to learn not to force things even in the clutch when things get tight. I believe these kind of moments are coach up moments that Snyder is the right person for but Snyder hasn’t been here long enough yet to turn off these bad habits and he’s still learning these players.

[Nash]

Bogi is averaging 120% more assists, 70% more steals, 30% more blocks,  comits 70% less fouls, 10% less TO's than Dre while playing less minutes. Bogi is also shooting 41% from 3 (elite, Klay T efficiency) on 7 attempts vs 36% (below average) on 4.2 attempts and one gets rewarded by playing 32 mins and the other one is playing 22 minutes. This is mind blowing. No wonder we're losing games against the worst nba teams  Quin sucks
