Second game out of the last 3 where we have Jalen in in clutch time playing weak defense to avoid fouling out. 

Or not I guess? Only had 4 fouls?

Typical game, good first half, opposition makes adjustments and the second half is terrible. smfh

And The Magic are missing their starting center and their 2nd best player.....

Playing and coaching as if we're waiting for the trade(s).  Don't they know these games count too?

Hawks lose to a team who’s about 2 years younger based on average age, with over $26 million less in payroll, and a depth chart that looks like this:

The ‘23-‘24 campaign looking more and more like a trainwreck.  Hawks rarely have the best player on the floor these days.  Always behind the 8 ball when that’s the case.

It appears the Hawks bought a very expensive pair of fancy red glasses $8 M/year.

Typical..

We overpay for everybody.. smh

Let's see, crap day in Atlanta sports from Falcons getting blown out by the Taints and now losing the Magic in OT.  Oh well, to the next game.

[Diesel]

We were cheated and I have the proof!!

 

Then Siddiq hits a 3 point shot!!!

 

[terrell]

EVERY starter in the minus.. Geez

[JayBirdHawk]

12 missed freethrows

13 ORebs which lead to points 

8 more made 3s - that's +24 points

That was the best thing to happen for the Falcons

We pick 8th now..

Cards at 4 mean we could possibly trade up for a QB....

All that's true and terrible.. but since this was an OT game...  We were cheated out of a win.

Bad day for Atlanta.  2 losses.  Hawks missed 12 free throws, which, if they had made them, they win.  Falcons, tied at the 1/2, went into a sleepwalk in the second half, got buried (They stunk) and ended their season.

Hawks could have won in regulation if they could make those free throws.  Drat.  Falcon's season is over, and the Hawks season is fading fast.

The broadcast said they were confirming if it was a 3 or 2.

First.. they took 3 points off of our score for no reason...  Then Siddiq hit a three and it was a three.. and they only gave us 2.

We were cheated and I have the proof!!

 

Then Siddiq hits a 3 point shot!!!

The score should have been 69 - 62.....  but it was left at 65-62 after they checked to see if it was a three.

Perhaps QS is thinking long term.

Tank and get two first round picks in 24 before making a miraculous turnaround in 25 to win the title..

Other than that, he isnt very impressive...

Bogi and OO were  + 32.

So of course he plays the starters.

They count towards a better draft pick lol

[benhillboy]

DJ’s scoring impact is so tepid.  Opposing teams don’t mind his little flurries at all because they don’t feel any physicality from him and his points come with everyone else standing around disengaged.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Can't wait to see what OO / Capela ( +/- ) was while playing together tonight.

Have to question why OO didn't play in OT.
