And Hunter looks like doodoo on both ends

Sabe us, Trae.

[Hawkmoor]

The analyst is correct.  They are just going right at Capela.  My question is this: why not go to a 2-3 zone?  The man to man isn't working because Tatum is destroying the rotating defender also.

[benhillboy]

Damn good pass by Tatum 

[kg01]

I SWEAR TO GARD COLLINS IS SO UNAWARE ON DEFENSE! 

[benhillboy]

Almost 8 straight non-stop minutes of play.  I can dig that

Glad to see Trae set the tone early. He's going to need some help though.

[Hawkmoor]

I mean, they aren't even looking to pass when they get in the paint.  The tape is telling them to go directly to the Hawks rim and its been working 100 percent.

So maybe Collins should shoot it instead of playing some weird game of 1-man hot potato?

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The Hawks at some point need to make an adjustment.

All tied up, I'll take it!

Capela is only 28 but I feel like he plays like a 34 year old center.  Maybe it's the accumulating injuries but he just looks slower.  Interested to see who rotated in for Bogi -- hoping it's aaron holiday, he always brings energy

Keep that same energy layer when it means a series of no-calls on obvious fouls tho...

He did that not one, but twice....he is so far in his own head.

He’s just broken on offense. He has no confidence.

If he can't shoot it, he needs to be grabbing every rebound in sight tonight. Just do SOMETHING.

Bey in for Bogi.
