Not an excuse the effort is not there. If Trae is mailing it in like he did tonight, Quin needs to take him out

So he should hurt himself more?  But it is one of those nights.

Love JJ.. But he has made some terrible passes and played with no energy. 

Toppin is laughing at him...

[TheBigETrain]

A lot of this is all on Quin Synder. If he isn’t man enough to bench Trae when he absolutely deserves to be benched, then this team will go nowhere with him at coach.

 

Quite clearly we are playing as individuals and not as a team.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Combined, DJ and Trae are 16 - 33 FG . . 5 - 11 from 3.

It's just crazy that we can't get these two to have good games on a consistent basis at the same time.

One is good, while the other one is azz.

 

Pacers shooting a whopping 68% FG

Incredible.

[Jody23]

The Pacers' size and length is a problem for the Hawks.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Quin, pull these guys before someone gets hurt forreal.

[terrell]

Remember when Carlisle called timeout in the 1st when his team went down 4-0?

It's kind of hard to defend Quin when he won't pull the starters in a 20+ point blowout in the 4th on the first night of a back to back.

He's obviously a very good coach.

He even called a timeout in the 3rd, when the Pacers had a 3 on 2, but were so erratic that they almost lost the ball out of bounds in the corner.  He called timeout before dude could even take Bogi off the dribble.

How are we getting cooked so bad by a Hali-less Pacers team? Sad.

Time for some changes.

We’ve been saying that for awhile now. Problem is the front office has no idea on what to do. 

[benhillboy]

I know better than to blame these players.  Most of them are helpless victims of horrible ownership and now a green, useless front office.  They actually passed on a guy in the draft who Jimmy Butler is grooming  to replace him.  Un-f&@kin-real.

But this Quinn guy.  He simply ain’t it.  No advantage to be had with him at the helm on most nights.  His defensive administration is about as lazy and embarrassing as D’Antoni.  He may be responsible for like 1 win since he’s been here.

Trae should just shut it down for “shoulder surgery” like Ja Morant.

If the Hawks were going to have their annual winning streak to get back to .500 it had to be now, and it doesn’t look like that’s happening.

LF can go ahead and pull the trigger on whatever deal he has up his sleeve..

We should be using this stretch with Dre out to try out different lineups. Especially for defensive purposes.... The Big lineup with JJ, OO and Capela would be an improvement IMO.

Give Bruno some backup center min..

I dont know what the hell Snyder is doing tbh..

All I see is an undisciplined, poorly coached team.

He's either clueless or secretly tanking....

The players dont fit, but still...........

I’m so surprised Nique praises McConnell so much.  I wouldn’t expect him to understand his impact at all.

No.  Pacers have only one guy with size. They are smaller than the Hawks.

He spends too much time in the mirror checking out his ill-fitting watches, creepy dye job, ridiculous 80’s librarian eyeglasses, and expensive plaque belts for jacka$$es that played out years ago.  No time for critical thinking-based coaching that highlight the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of his players.
