I know it's dumb as hell but I thought this was a fun game and the cup had something to do with it in what would be a normally forgettable midDecember game

That was Taurean Prince that gave up that easy layup.

It goes back to Ajax reaching earlier giving Trae a head start.

We are in sports idiocracy...

Announcers are yammering about Atlanta shooting 43% from the field and 39% from 3 and only down 6. While the Bucks are shootng 40% from the field and 30% from 3. WTF is their point??

Again.
I swear to god it's hard to feel that the refs are not against us every single time.

The refereeing has actually evened out notably over the course of the game. Right now the energy is just with the Hawks. We are running bad, stagnant, offense and missing the wide open shots we do create. They are running and getting layups. This is bad play in this half, not the refs.

So the blatant walking violation was a Hawks energy play.
Good to know.

If you think that refs don't let Giannis get away with traveling, I have a bridge to sell you.

Also Giannis is gassed and needs to sit.
But I'm terrified of the minutes he'll sit out...

Get Lethal Shooter back for Giannis' free throws.

Get any high school basketball coach. It is obvious why he is missing them with his low arc no legs free throw attempts.

Got nothing but hand on that swipe by Trae.

Young fouls Bird on the hand then gets another grift call. Trae Jordan rules.

Trae Harden I think. He is busy talking to the ref with his back to the free throw shooter every shot also. Crazy.

They are outplaying us. We have nobody other than Giannis who can score consistently.

Balls2TheWalls · Post #395 » by **Balls2TheWalls** » Sat Dec 14, 2024 11:19 pm

Middleton on the court and we are suddenly playing much smarter basketball. Our offseason additions look like the first 9 games right now.

Refs got the memo that the Hawks are the NBA darlings right now.

That's not a foul

That call sucks

Looked more like a defensive foul than a bad pick
