Does this mean you guys think this game is the first home loss of the season?

It's obvious both Brissett and Banton can't shoot.

If Nurse is playing Dick, even if Dick is small, I don't see why Joe can't use Walsh.

Nurse is in Philly…

Also, Dick was a lottery pick and is shooting 27% from the field lol. Walsh was a relatively raw second rounder. I like Walsh, but he should not be spoon fed minutes right away.

Walsh already has an NBA body.

He will help on defense.

If Walsh can make 3s then that's a bonus.

He reminds me of Shane Battier.

Hawks D is butter as usual, if the three balls falling were reaching the 130’s tonight! If not go to the damn rack and do it the hard way.

Cs need to limit the offensive rebounds of the Hawks.

If Cs control the boards then they most likely win.

How about the Jays becoming the first teammates to score 50 points each?

Probably not but I do think this game might be a Jaylen game since the Hawks need their single competent wing defender on Tatum. There'll be a lot of screens involving Tatum and White, and Jaylen will have his opportunities against stiffs like Bey.

Definitely a Jaylen game.

Hawks are retiring his number in the not so distant future, right? :lol:

One can only hope. They retired Dikembe's number after only 5 seasons so Jaylen's definitely in the running.

Walsh is not physically strong enough to defend nba wings yet. We’d have to use him on guards, but they’d probably just get him in instant foul trouble.

He also plays nothing like Battier, who was a meh athlete but just had insane anticipation.

The Hawks have scored 435 points in their last 3 games. Most of any team in the last 30 years. Kings had a 3 games stretch last season where they scored 433.

Very true. Except the part about sleep. I skip that part.

He's rushing his shots. He can maybe shoot a step or two closer.

That is indeed a good news for the future Celtic wing.

Murray & Kornet to Magic, JB to Hawks, WCJ & JJ to Cs. As soon as we're able.

That's brilliant. Only the salaries don't work (involve Bogdanovic?).
Makes sense to the Hawks and Magic as well.
