Official Game Thread: Hawks at 76ers

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Murray wants to get to his patented midrange jumper way too much.  He needs more in his offensive bag when he gets in the paint.

Maybe a floater or something.

 

[BrazilianHawk]

We have no closer.

I seriously can't stand the DJ isolation stuff.  Just kills the offense.

The DJ led lineups are what put us in a huge deficit honestly. Trae led lineups are never a problem 

[Jody23]

How is Quin okay with him tanking the offense like that?

[dalamchops]

hunter is net neutral, every bucket he scores he jsut coughs it back up by dribbling off his foot. 

[hawkman]

I don't want to hear anything about Trae playing hero ball in the 4th anymore. There's a reason he has to put the team on his back in the clutch.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

19 - 5 run to close the 4th.

We got a BIG PROBLEM if Murray can't adequately play PG in the half court.

If he would just give up the ball and let the offense run, he could potentially get it back for better shots.

He was supposed to solve the problem of Trae-less lineups. So much for that lol

Now these dudes aren't even going to cover.

Come on man . . smh.

That's the thing though.  He wasn't shooting the ball any.  Just doing a bunch of dribbling.

LOL . . and now he just gives it away.

Murray is so avg..... He has his moments but mostly avg....

Schlenk was right for once.. lol

[BrazilianHawk]

It's impressive they got like 5 consecutive stops and couldn't score a single point off those. Really impressive. These guys must be in need of some psychological help. This isn't normal.

Without Trae.. it becomes much easier to guard everyone...

CC already has us at a disadvantage offensively. Its like 4 on 5.. smh

Hawks still need a legit backup PG after all of these years.. Geez

Delon was the better than Murray.. lol

Murray started the season off so well....

Hopefully he gets back to that

So do we need to give Mills all of Murray's minutes at the backup PG, with Murray taking some minutes back from Bey or Bogi?

My issue with Murray has always been with his halfcourt running of the team.  He can get his own shot. But who is he creating for?

Tonight, it was like he was trying to be a true PG, but forgot who he really was as a player.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

12 has a great 24 pts - 7 rebs . . . but was totally wasted in that final 5 minutes.  I think he got 1 shot down the stretch.

[Atlantaholic]

DJM is not the guy. I was really hyped when we got him but he turns out he was just putting up big numbers in a last place team.

Murray is too robotic

He's really hard to watch at times....

I know his moves before he makes them.. lol

Hes a valuable trade asset at least for teams in need of a PG. Cant move him for a while though I dont think..

He was never a great fit here imo..

Hawks need more size around Trae..

We need to increase JJ’s usage when he returns.

Murray is not a number 2.

Let’s see how much JJ can handle.

Less usage on offense for Murray might improve his defense.(hopefully)
