Hunter's arms were straight up on that foul. BS call.

Refs doing their best to get Hunter out of the game, SMH.

Air ball on a pick and roll...

Bruno is cooking!

[hawkman]

The refs apparently don't like Hunter?

Pretty obvious what they're doing.

Celtics were -11.5 favorites in this game.  So with the Hawks keeping it close, they have to do their "slight manipulation" of the game.

Basically, we better make a lot of 3s tonight.

 

Good minutes again by Bruno so far.

Yes.  That's why Quin wasn't concerned about him picking up that 3rd foul.

Trae is LOCKED IN.  Got everything going right now.

GREAT minutes from Bruno so far.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bruno holding his screens is what I've always liked about his pick and roll game.  He's not slipping screens or shying away from contact.  He holds it, then rolls hard.

Way to hit both FTs.

Every trip down the court on offense is the same.  The Hawks HAVE players.  Its coaching.  This team isn't coached for movement on offense or defense.  Just standing around, different players taking turns playing offense, different players taking turns playing defense.  Its not a UNIT of players.  Thats why they look good one night against a good team and lose to a horrible team the next. No consistency.

We don't have enough high level players or players that do one thing at an elite level.

But you are correct.  A lot of our issues stem from coaching.

To play the defense he wants to play, he needs to play bigger lineups.

Bruno has done good for us. I'd be for him continuing to get our 3rd center spot from now on.
