Official Game Thread: Hawks at Jazz

[Gray Mule]

Well, dang!  I dozed off when the pre-game was on.  Awoke with Quin doing the post-game interview.  Missed the entire thing.  Our games continue to be our scrubs VS your scrubs.  Too many missing pieces only points out how weak our non-starters are.

Bogie's illness has cost us the last two games.  He played, although he wasn't really able, then missed last night.

Some of our G League players are better than some of our bench players, I believe.  (Gotta believe something good!)

Who the hell is Juzang btw?  Never heard of dude and he lit us up like a candle . Mo Gueye is better than him. Wait till we get our G leaguer out there to your G leaguers butts! 

Juz is a UCLA guy.  That's your scouting territory, squd.  I saw him play a couple games, thought he'd be a good 2nd rnd pickup.  Of course we'd never play him so ...

Yes I remembered after the fact. You know what threw me off? His hair was different.

Ya I’ve liked your 2nd’s. You called Grand theft Alvarado, Herb (wilin a$$ ) Jones. Ya he would have been good for sure we need energy dudes, everyone does.

I can find value picks.  Just assign the 1st rounders to somebody else.

We need to have a couple of our 2nd round picks be real contributing players. The last 2 were Mike and Mike.

I have hopes for MoG and Lundy, but alas - INJURED

I am completely not supportive of how Snyder is overextending DJM game after game right now.

Happy? 

It's hard to tell what was more idiotic decision, chucking up and missing those 3's or passing the ball to Vic to decide the game

Losing to a team with three 20 year olds in the starting line up is rough. Ugh.

Johnny is a good hooper. Good college player but didn't have good metrics but if you watched him play, you know he's a good basketball player

"But do your 3 20-year olds beat my 2 borderline NBA guys and 1 guy who's a shell of himself in the starting lineup?" - Hawks 

Also didn't help that we were officiated based on 2024 rules while they got that 2018 whistle.  Hunter and Capela out there gettin' mollywhopped but nobody could breathe in the vicinity of Keyonte George. 

Not an excuse but definitely a reason.

All these decimated lineups are why we've been competitive lately despite missing Trae, JJ, OO, etc.  Our injuries are also why a team that decimated can still win against us - we are pretty beaten down as well.

Honestly I am frustrated that the Hawks young guys are injured / unavailable and unable to take advantage of the playing opportunities available with the varsity guys on the shelf. Sucks to be losing but not developing.

Losing to the Jazz was huge for potential ping pong balls. They now have the same record, and the difference between being 9th and 10th is 15 combinations.
