Line went from Blazers -4 to -6 and now 6.5. Public is pounding the Blazers and for good reason, we look a bit lost.

Have we had a players only meeting yet? If not, we might need one.

Go Hawks.

Portland is favored by 5.5 points.
Not many positives at the moment so I will just have to watch.

There was one year, I think the magical 2014-15 when we went into Portland and beat a good Blazers team and I think that’s the first night I knew we were for real.

Maybe tonight we figure it out. The talent is there but don’t overthink it. It’s coming along slowly, Capela figured it out, then Dre, then Cam from distance last game, Huerter, Trae and Collins have it, let’s put all or most of their best games tonight.

Hawks by 7 in a shocker!

No Cam. Just got tougher on defense.

^I like that starting 5 much better. The offense should flow and perhaps we get a more competitive game from these guys. Better passing, better spacing. The defense will suffer, but if we can reach that 120 point threshold, we might actually have a chance.

Looking forward to some Trae getting back within the flow and more Okongwu loosening up. Let’s get it! Game time.

Offense flows better with a shooter/passer in that starting SG spot. Dropping 38 in the first quarter on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Excellent adjustment.

We need to focus more on maximizing the offense this year. We can add defense later.

Offense collapsed again. Hawks are 0-5 when they fail to score 110...according to Blazers announcers.
