Half of our team is out with injuries. I expect the Hawks to handle us tonight

Most of the time, this team is such a nightmare without Bogi on the floor... or when he's not hitting anything.
It was a lot better once he entered the game.
I would absolutely add him to the list of players they are not trading, it would be a huge mistake to trade this guy having such a positive impact and costing far less than it should be.
NOTE: they played well without him the last minutes of the 1st half (and well with Okongwu too)
Hawks leading 60-51 at the half

Third quarter being almost a repeat of the 1st, but worst: the starters are dominated by ORL.
It just goes a bit better with Bogi and Okongwu
They are both at +10 and +19, all starters are between -10 and -20
Hawks trailing 78-85
Let's see this 4th quarter now

But Quin decides to continue with these starters... 2Min left, trailing by 4pts, with Trae+Murray at 10/17 FTs

We actually played defense on the last two possessions.

Our possession in overtime are awful. Clint is such a liability on the offensive side if the ball. He literally can't shoot, can't make free throws, can't drive, nothing. Magic getting all calls in OT doesn't help either. Jalen's 5th came on a kick out and then that awful blocking foul in which they said Clint was inside the restricted area (he wasn't) and moved into the path. Then Trae and Murray going iso
Just so frustrating.

Is it normal to see the starters finishing the last half of the 4th and then playing all the OT?
Bogi entering with 17s left because of Jalen being fouled out is the only way for Quin to change something and bring a bit of fresh air?
Especially when both Bogi and Okongwu proved in this game that the team dominated with them, and not without
If find this choice very strange
