This is where I'm at.  The Hawks missed a ton of open looks. The three balls needs to get around 36% for this offense to truly take off.

Good luck with that..

SGA saw damn near every Hawk defending him, still cooked.  I would like to see DJ demand more defensive possessions versus great scoring guards.  He got the bag, he’s gotta make more of a mark on the ball.  Forcing SGA off the ball more would’ve served more of a purpose than his 29 points tonight.

This exactly.  And this is why AJ should have gotten a look tonight.  He would take those open looks.  Make or miss, you've got to take the open looks.

....we missed too many shots at the rim as well.

25 offensive rebounds too… about +12 possession difference but our shooting was that bad.  Credit to Chet tonight, looked really good

We can praise SGA all day.. but the real praise should be Jalen Williams.  He COOKED.  Did he miss a shot?  This dude is a problem.   Also, I never realized that SGA was 6'6".

Negatives

Trae can't be on a max deal being this inconsistent. Im sorry...

To have a winning record with him playing like this is a Miracle...

And Dre drifting  back to “I wonder if he’ll be good” territory last 2 games...

 

 

Positives

26 boards between JJ and OO

Bey looks great off the bench

Murray seems to have found his 3 ball......He's Easily been our best player so far this season..

Bogi still looking healthy which is always good

Nobody asked that question?

Our Forwards really struggled this game, so many open looks:

Trae can't compound a bad shooting night with this many TOs - 7

Oh he’s a stud for sure, can’t even really gameplan for him.  He doesn’t force anything, doesn’t depend on plays being run for him, is fearless, and plays 2 through 4 in various lineup combos.

So predictable. 

We shot 37% from the field as a TEAM.  They shot 47% from the field.   When that happens, you're not even supposed to be in the game.   But like I said.. predictable.   We expected.. first loss, you'd be back in full force.... fairweathering.

Too many careless passes. 

 

[StonedDogs]

Well that was ugly but every game cant be pretty. And luckily we're only in the very beginning

I hoped for a decent game in his hometown. We got the opposite. 10/7 Assist/ TO ratio isnt gonna cut it..

Dude has 36 field goals and 30 turnovers..Good grief...

Let’s see how he does at 7,400 ft elevation.

But Im not holding my breath...

But the team did shoot 37% from the field.    Our offensive rebounds kept us in it...  Yet you gave Clint no praise.   Like I said, you are predictable.
