Official Game Thread: Kings at Hawks

[Diesel]

We got to stop getting those Magic City lap dances at the half. 

Embiid is a damn Monster!!!

[REHawksFan]

We've reached the aggravating portion of the festivities tonight.

Teams play better Def in the second half, and our effeciency goes to shit,

They've been coached up.  That's why you see runs after the half.

Then you got us looking like the Keystone cops.. can't keep the ball.

Exactly.. 1st half  is meaningless..

When the D tightens up we usually fold..

Luckily the Kings arent good defensively..

But does it matter?

Offensive foul????

He was definitely moving. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

I'm starting to dislike Bey.  He's a low IQ offensive player.

Just catch and shoot man.  Or get the ball out of your hands.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Another stretch where horrible play from the Kings gave us a chance to knock them out.  And we're still missing wide open shots.

What do you expect from a bunch of streaky shooters?

Live by it, die by it.. Ugh

A 20 pt qtr............ Right on cue

[TheNorthCydeRises]

That Trae led group with JJ - Bogi - OO - and Mills fails again.

 

Trae is only ( +1 ) for the game.  JJ is now ( -1 ).

Bogi ( -11 ) . . Mills ( -12 ) . . OO ( - 13 )

 

Now it's a dogfight.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

@benhillboy should be happy this game, with Trae make 2 corner 3s.

[terrell]

NIce run there, but can we finish skrong?

[terrell]

JJ hasn’t found his touch after returning from the injury

Still making plays everywhere though..

[JTB]

Is this our closing lineup we been searching for all season ???

trae, murray, Bogi, Jalen, OO

 

maybe too early to tell but this lineup has some good chemistry offensively and at least defensively that tip the ball a lot giving us a chance at defensive stops.

I’m confident he will get it going though.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bey 3 - 8 from 3

Bogi 2 - 9 from 3

I been preaching this death lineup for a minute. Bey works in there as well in place of DJ/Bogi

And Synder goes away from all those combinations smh!

OO's weak rebounding is a killer.  That's why you may as well throw Capela in that lineup and take Bogi out.

Put 3 bigs in there to possibly rebound a miss and put it back.  JJ can still function as the high post facilitator.  Trae and Murray handle the outside shooting.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

OK Trae .. . hurt or not, it's time to try to take the game over.
