Yes, technically that's an eagle in the first picture. Please don't hate. Here's a potato to make up for it.

We're 30th in opponent points in the paint. Horford & Millsap are going to have fun.

Dieng is just not a starting caliber player. Good backup that's for sure but you ain't gonna win many games with him getting 30+ min.

Zach is the perfect tank commander. Insert him into the game and other team goes on a run.

What happened to "no easy layups" ? Whats happening to this team?
Nice time for us to get a coach.

Hawks are one of the best on the court style teams the league has seen in years. We are one of the worst, can't be upset about getting molested in this one. Their execution is just light years ahead.

This team is so clueless. Looks like an amateur team vs. a pro team right now.

When you consider how young we are, it kind of is. As long as we have a bunch of young players Vet's will own us. The NBA is a man's league.

This is nothing more than a bad excuse, though.

Players like Dieng, Young, Hummel, Williams, Pekovic, Budinger...they are already in their "best" years. Hummel & Dieng may not be very experienced by NBA standards but you certainly can't refer to them as "young".

Currently, the young players except for Wiggins aren't even getting a lot of minutes.
