Lauren Jbara is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, but Tabitha has two very nice, large reasons why she is growing on me.

 

I dont like Lauren on NBA TV(as a host not looks.lol)

She was great here though..

Hawks weren’t expected to win this game, no biggie.  Sixers actually have a sound defense and clearly the best player on the floor.

Nick Nurse is 10-6 versus the Hawks.  LP and Nate weren’t equals and Quinn isn’t either.  I hear him talking about getting beat on cuts.  When your players don’t cut in practice they won’t defend it in games duh.

Another game where ORebs killed us.

 

 

If we dont draft at least 1 7ftr with one of our picks this year Im done.. Jesus Christ..

Not moving CC to Dallas for the 10th pick(Lively) was another huge blunder by this Franchise...

Shit never ends....

F&@k me.  So you telling me the Hawks missed on Derrick Lively and Cason Wallace for Clint?  I keep a healthy distance away from those insider, rumor threads.  But if true, again, f&@k me.

Poor draft picks, regression in Trae’s shot.  Kyle is on the edge as my avatar.  I’m about to go with Plastic Man or Flip Murray out this mfer.  Ira Newble even.

Vegas has hawks as the favorite to win this game

I'm calling BS on that. No one is giving #10 for Clint. That's complete whale dung.

Yea, we owe our 25 pick and 27 pick with 26 pick swap so the fate of this team is sealed for the next 3 - 4 seasons.

IMO what makes it worst is that by the time we no longer owe picks, Trae and Dejoune will need new contracts so we can't trade them for a rebuilding package prior to that if we wanted to go that route if it doesn't work out.

I never been a fan of the trade from day 1, I completely understand why Schlenk left immediately after being forced by the FO to make that trade.

Yeah that wasn't the trade being reported the exact trade if i remember correctly was

#15 + Clint  for  #10 + Bertans or  Hardaway JR    So we were getting Lively  but giving up our 1st and taking back a  not so good contract with it.

If a team with no injured players isn't expected to win every single home game, they can't be taken seriously.

Same old, same old.

 

Their superstar is 10x better than ours. It doesn't look like they're in the same category.

Trae is a superstar in name only. Advanced metrics suggest his impact on the game does not warrant superstar status.

@BrazilianHawk   That sounds silly.

I was thinking about the year the Bulls went 72-10.  How many perfectly healthy home teams were expected to beat Chicago at Home that year??

This is what I mean when I talk about people with Playstation expectations.   This is not the Playstation.   This is a real, live NBA game.   It matters when you play one of the Best teams in the league.   Somebody is going to win and somebody is going to lose.   The Homecourt is great for comfort but it doesn't change the talent and ability that hits the floor.   Who the refs are has a bigger bearing on the game than being at Home.  What Philadelphia showed us last night is what they have shown to everybody that they have played...  Embiid is a load and if you don't have an answer for him, he will beat you down.   That is whether you are at home or not. 

Finally, you said their superstar is better than ours...   DUH?  You talking about the reigning MVP of the League....  DUH?

It's our guards and wings not boxing out causing havoc with the Orebs. Embiid had only 2 Orebs, Harris had 1. Which means the remaining 10 Orebs went to guards and SFs.  Put a body on someone when the ball goes up.

You see everything Burd! This.

[bleachkit]

We got issues folks. A superstar that cant shoot. An invisible small forward. A center combo that cant play against size. 

[shakes]

I think we witnessed Trae's peak a couple years ago.  Last year we witnessed the start of the decline.  this year we are witnessing the decline speeding up.

Welcome back to mediocrity
