Opening Night Game Thread -- Hawks vs Rockets

I like how we're involving Hunter and Collins on offense and giving them field goal attempts. It better stay consistent this year because success will come with this team first style of play.

Great win, if they had the same defense than last season, I would have imagine a minimum of 30pts from Jalen Green.
Happy to see they limit him at 16 with no impact

Just a little thing: I can't remember the last game I saw where two players of the same team both got 20pts/10ast

Regarding HOU, nice to see Bruno getting 7pts/9rbds/7ast/2blk in 25min, I was not expecting it, especially the 7ast

If John plays like this, not sure rumors will stop, because it will be like always, all the other teams are calling to know the price.

It would not be a problem if media were not the one saying it's ATL that want to trade him. If I was him, I would take it, and say to journalists, that it's mark of respect that all these teams are calling :wink:

Observations:

1. What a fun atmosphere- I'm hoarse.

2. DeJohnTrae is a real thing.

3. Hunter - my word!

4. Clint was playing hard but looked a little winded at times. Was shaking his hand, that thumb sprain is a thing.

5. OO has all the moves around the basket, would love to see him be more aggressive in looking for his shot.

6. The Holidaze - just what we needed

7. JJ was good for his first game, he had one really bad defensive miscue, the couple other times he reached instead of moving his feet - it will come. He seemed a little nervous.

8. Both Trae and DJ had a lot of shots that hit off the front of the rim, that's fixable. Trae took about 3 really bad ill advised 3s, the rest I can live with.

9. The DEFENSE - yes we have one.

10. Too many ORebs given up - 15 and I think Rockets scored on at least 10 of them, that's at least 20 points. Take care of our defensive glass and we win this running away.

11. 12 steals y'all - 12.

Lots to work on but good win!

Go HAWKS!!!

Ugly game. Nobody was hitting threes, Trae couldn't shoot a lick, but when you look at the other NBA games, actually nobody could hit a 3 last night, Trae, Luka, Lillard, Booker, Ant Man, KD, Kyrie, etc...

Just seems like it was a bad shooting night for the whole NBA
