Official Game Thread: Magic at Hawks

[Diesel]

For this season...

Whenever Dre gets back, we will be much better in terms of winning. 

Coach Quin is going to have to create more transition scoring opps for DJ.  That's a big part of his strength. 

When we figure out that DJ can run the transition and Trae can run the halfcourt, we will be a much better team.

I don't get it.

Bogi 23 minutes, Bey 35 minutes. Empty stats, -10 in a win, I don't get it

yea, but how do we add to the frontcourt without subtracting from the backcourt. Our frontcourt guys have no value. 

 

Bogi has the value.  That's the one we need to try to flip.

DJ what are you Doing???

6 double digit scorers?

This team being 6 games under .500 shows how good and expansive the middle-tier of the NBA has gotten.

Trade CC and Hunter

Any trade involving those guys is going to net us a downgrade. No team is wanting to take on those contracts and give up a better player back. We could trade them for picks maybe we get a projected mid first round pick for Hunter but I don't see anyone giving up a first for Cap.

Jalen Suggs, What are you doing???

Bey is the only player that we have that will "scrap"...

The Man can't hit a three to save his life right now.  And He cannot  guard a chair.... but he will get in there and scrap for rebounds. He's the only player that we have that will do it.  JJ doesn't do it either.  

Are those couple of rebounds worth everything else in comparison to Bogi

It makes no sense to trade Murray.  Especially not for Picks.  He and Trae can work.. get us some help in the frontcourt!!!

Yeah and if we do

No.  I wish between the two of them, one of them could defend somebody.   I did see Bey block a pass.   However, that's not enough. 

Maybe Bogi is being held out to save his knees.

Neither of the 2 is a good defender but Bogi's averaging more stocks than Bey in 20% less time. He also spresds the floor more by pulling the best defender on him so Trae has open lanes and wide open 3pt shots. Bey is not capable of playmaking. I just don't get it

Sure but then our strength becomes paper thin. We'd be one backcourt injury away from seeing the Mathew's average over 30mpg

not if Quinn gives those minutes to AJ and he plays like he did last year.

The Hawks have been playing better defense the last week or so.

Normally holding the awful Spurs to 99 and holding the Magic to 104 on one of their worst shooting nights of the season wouldn’t be cause for celebration, but the way the Hawks usually play defense..

[JayBirdHawk]

What Bogi did to Suggs....yikes

You took 47 shots and 34 threes with Trae?

At least try to play realistic . . lol.

That’s what I’m saying it’s too easy but the next level is dang near impossible there is a glitch.

[JayBirdHawk]

Well lookey lookey, we are back in the play-in
