No foul for JJ there?

I wrote about that today. He's still getting rookie treatment. If I was Quinn, I'd passively aggressively start mentioning it in interviews.

Bey is so bad on defense, so unaware - on the last Isaiah Joe dunk, you can see JJ motioning for the help - Bey just does nothing....

[hawkman]

JJ doesn't solve all of the Hawks problems, but this is a MUCH better team with him than without him. He's a difference maker.

[Phunkabilly]

JJ better be a Hawk for the next 12 years

1) Jalen just told everyone “I’m Him!”

2) We are giving the Thunder so many open shots allowing them to stay within striking distance despite our good play. This is a bad trend that has to stop. Just because we score is not an excuse to take off on defense.

Good recovery from OO..

We’re much tighter through the first and beginning of 2nd.  Starting to slack of a smidge.  Let’s pick back up!

There we go! JJ with the steal as I write.

[JayBirdHawk]

Jalen from the post should be a thing. He can make passes from there.

[terrell]

Hold them to 50 please.. lol

[RedDawg#8]

Jalen with these dimes is next level stuff.

OO with not only the nuts, but the ability to block these dudes going for the open highlight dunks. He did the same thing vs Ja. That’s rare ability.

[Phunkabilly]

The ball needs to touch JJ's hands on every offensive possession, especially when Trae isn't out there... good things happen

[terrell]

Can somebody tell me why Trae cant stop turning the ball over?

I know he touches the ball alot but Geez man

Bey fights off the shove and gets the block

[JayBirdHawk]

Charge......drawn. 

Ladt year There is no way Trae turns the ball over then hustles back to play defense

[hawkman]

Take it easy on that wrist JJ.

[JayBirdHawk]

And Jalen doesn't have his man strength yet.

True

[Bonzaii58]

We can go ahead and trade Hunter for Siakam now . I’d love to see how we’d look then. I might be drinking too much JJ kool aid but we play so much better with him healthy. Adding Siakam even as a flyer might be worth the risk 

[Chrimturn]

Ooooooohhhhh

[Bonzaii58]

JJ makes me so nervous sometimes when he falls. He always goes down in the worst way
