LOL . . . Hunter you had 3 seconds and probably 2 dribbles to get a better shot.

Good Lord.   This team is something else.

 

Superstar turning it over left and right on errant passes, when he should be staying aggressive.

Dudes can't get stops in the paint.

Shooters can't knock down game winning shots.

Coach not playing impact players in the game when we need stability.

 

To me, this was a worse loss than the Spurs loss.  At least with the Spurs, you can say that they just got red hot and killed us from 3.

This game, we did more than enough to win, and just gave it away . . . again.

 

These are your 2023 Atlanta Hawks.

 

 

Summed up in a tidy little bow!

These games are just pre-training camp so I don't even get too mad anymore.  This year is sunk cost but will benefit us greatly next year.

Exactly my reaction as I saw that Dre 3 clank off the backboard.   I was like in disbelief, and expecting that, at the same time.

This team had plenty of chances but  Bogi open misses were the killer

[JTB]

KAT as a PF with Gobert works offensively. That’s a large front court to guard and Collins just isn’t big enough to defend a big body like KAT.

 

Synder has to start using OO at times when it matters the most and OO should have been given the opportunity to guard KAT on the bad no call KAT got away with but even then it’s not inspiring to see Collins consistently get beat off the dribble. Reed even took JC off the dribble during a crucial time in the 4th.

At least Raps and Bulls lost.. lol

[bird_dirt]

I could say I’m outraged, but TBH I completely expected this ending. We won the last game, so anyone paying attention to the past two dozen + games would know we were destined to lose this one.

Remember when I said "our starters play dumb.. All 5 of them"

Dude had 3.6 sec and hoist a brick.. smfh

And dont get me started on Trae Young tonight.. Geez..

Dude basically gives us nothing late but stupid turnovers and foul baiting....

My biggest problem with JC..

Dre not built for that. He doesn't have an internal clock for that kind of shot.

[terrell]

Just tank for the lottery pick at this point PLEASE.

I can't handle a potential 1st round series.........

Collins has to get in the weight room and get stronger. How does he live with getting muscled/bullied night after night.  Also it is up to our point guards to get him the ball all game especially if he is hot.

I don't think I've ever had a more frustrating season, but like you said at this point, it is what it is.

[REHawksFan]

The game completely changed when Q took OO out. He was dominant defensively. I get the whole 5 fouls thing, but if he wasn't going to come back in, just let him stay until he picks up his 6th.

What good is it to have OO sitting on the bench with 5 fouls for the last 7 min of the game? Especially when Clint looked pretty bad during that stretch and minny went on their run. I don't get it.

He shouldve been guarding KAT on that last possession...

I swear Quin is just seeing what he has in the starters at this point..

No way he actually cares about winning and losing games that much this season.

I've been saying this. Quin ain't trying to win. Nate was trying harder and he wasn't trying either unless it was spam.
