OO had a couple blocks, Bogi hit a couple and a steal....otherwise, the bench is on the struggle bus.

Need Bey to step it up...

I would strongly consider this trade if Houston misses on James Harden before the offseason and states he's staying in Philly. 

Murray

Hardaway Jr/Green

Hunter/Bogi/Griffin

Sengun/Bey/JJ/Bertans

Okongwu/Bruno

Trade someone for a great backup PG or sign someone since we loaded with cap space.

And I'm sorry, but Quin is losing a lot of good will with playing CC so much against this 5 out lineup.  It just makes no sense.  

Nah, Quin understands this team is not making it anywhere this post season.  These are the most valuable games to assess what he has and doesnt have in this roster.  And he's leaving guys out to dry on defense if they can't hold their own.  I'll be interested to see what moves we make this offseason.

He disappointed me when he took the three and jogged back while his man beat him down the court on the run out. 

 

That decision to  pass up a 3 to dribble into the defender is what I think Quin means when he’s talking about taking more 3's...

There was nothing gained by Hunter dribbling if the shot was going to be more contested than the 3 he passed up. Low basketball IQ

im done w/ hunter, dude's marvin 2.0, unless you can catch and shoot 3s at a 40% clip, you can't play in this league w/o solid handles

LOL Murray

This is what I mean when I said Quin has to root out these bad habits. But this is what Nate wanted: Trae said the team needed to get use to just letting the 3s fly instead of waiting for the close out and then attacking it. The Nate special.

[terrell]

So many bad contracts to deal with.. Geez..

Good luck LF/KK

Jalen has a ton of potential but he needs to be a 6th man and learn how to play NBA basketball. He's not a starter for any NBA team trying to win right now.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae with 4 shots already . . . made 3.

But now Tatum has it going.

[JayBirdHawk]

ZERO freethrows for Hawks in 1st half.

[Diesel]

Mike Lomghbardi is the first person fired. 

[hawkman]

That's 5. That needs to be Trae's last turnover for this game. 

[NBASupes]

Trae decision making gets exposed next level against a squad with as much chemistry as Boston

Giving him too much space. Force him to give up the ball.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

OK . . . I'm desperate.

Save us Pastor Troy

Dude he'll get better in 4 years when he is 30. Look at his potential
