Who's minutes would he have taken?

The 4 minutes GMat got in the 1st half should have gone to Kobe.

I'm of the opinion that when you give Rookies 1st half minutes if they play well in the 1st half, they see minutes in the 2nd half.

they can't go into the break on a 2 game losing streak.

Oh sure they can. In fact, I'm expecting it.  Playing at Charlotte is always a bad game for Hawks. 

Tonight really sucked. Win and 9th seed. Now 2 games back but it feels like so much more.

I just cant see a Championship team with those 2 leading us.. Especially Trae.. Regardless of what we do in the froncourt..

Nope. Not happening

Neither player can play a smart game from start to finish..

And if theyre not scoring, you can forget about them trying hard on Defense..

BS Stats and  records or whatever mean nothing to me anymore..

Gotta learn to move his feet....geez.

That and to simply pay attention and care on that end of the floor.

The conversation is always about the rest of the team when the issue is apparent!

The Bulls seemed well aware of this fact. The Hawks? Not so much. They can't keep saying there's plenty of time with less than 30 games left in the season. THIS STRETCH OF GAMES IS CRITICAL. Playing .500 ball during this stretch isn't going to get it. This is their opportunity and they need to play with a sense of urgency.

I disagree but I agree.

Our sense of urgency in the 2nd qtr. doomed us.  Everybody will focus on the 2nd half but this disaster started back then. 

Both of our starting guards were horrible tonight,  don't remember a game where they were both so out of sync on both sides of the ball. Nothing flowed, didn't control tempo and pace to end the 2nd and it carried over in the 2nd half.

Earlier in the game the ball was moving and everyone was engaged.. Bey was having a hell of a game.. especially with the post up. And then we became undisciplined AS USUAL.......

Watching this team is insufferable at times. Their guards totally outplayed our "allstar" guards.

This is the right answer.

[terrell]

So we can’t beat the lowly Bulls at home in pretty much a must win game,

And yall want certain players on this squad to be untouchable? lol..  Really?

Tough loss to swallow

If OO has a serious toe injury and Capela is still out after the AS break...yowie wowie. This team will be unwatchable on defense. I mean it already is but even more so.

Tonight was a bad loss. There's been this mystery sickness in the locker room most of the season and right now Bruno and Mills have it. So Bruno gets a pass from me for being out there sick.

Trae and DJ were awful tonight. The refs were swallowing the whistle and letting the Bulls murder our guys but I expect them to play through that. DJ especially seemed to just tune out and give up sometime in the 2nd quarter.

We need to be playing our young guys and not giving minutes to guys like the Matthews or Mills when he's healthy. 

 

[Spud2nique]

Played good ball for 21 or 22 minutes and just collapsed before halftime. Both our starting guards were off. Bogi was on but not enough. How do refs give the benefit of the doubt to the road team? 
 

Frustrating watch. 
 

Last season was “even Steven” and I thought that was bad. Now we are even worse.

Come on guys, win. I don’t care how anymore just get some wins.

ps That play the Bulls had with 4:22-4:11 left in the 3rd where they swung the ball all around and ended up with a Terry 3? THAT IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO! Move the ball, don’t let it stick and make some shots.

Hornets on their nest next.

Go Hawks!
