It was right after I wrote "RJ sucks. Trade filler. Toxic asset".

Confirmed Jack reads RealGM.

This NAW leap really came out of nowhere, just not often you see a strictly 3&D guy transform into a decent on ball guy 7 seasons in.

He's a beast, man. Love the way he plays. You know what you are going to get from him every night. Effort is always there.

If he can't shoot, he has to be elite at ball protection.

Yeah, it is becoming a bit of an issue lately. His AST/TO ratio was among the best in the league through the first 28 games (4.6), but it has dropped off substantially since then (2.3) — and his scoring efficiency has also taken a hit in that span. He hasn’t been near as effective in the past few weeks, but hopefully it’s just a bit of a slump through the holiday season and he’ll get back to being reliable with the ball.

Is this it for Ochai?

Two of them tonight were pretty bad too. Love Shead, but we need him to be that steady distributor.

Going to the game on Monday. I hope the crowd will be better than this one.

Hawks without trae have been a very good defense

Aren't we pulling out the game from those turnovers?
Without Young, who is their closer?

Supposed to Jalen

Adding a legit scoring starter and guy to pressure the rim is just a huge upgrade over like Ochai...who played under 5 mins tonight.

We just have no one who does what RJ does and certainly no bench guy can make up the difference.

Just 4 minutes?

Just upgrade the bench scoring and I’ll be happy. Bring in a proven wing that can make open 3s and just not be completely useless. Who is realistically attainable?

We're too talented when everyone plays. Imagine what this team looks like when Jak comes back healthy.

We need more.from.that position on both sides of the floor. I thought it was a mistake to trade Mitchell.

It would be nice if just once while I'm in the kitchen they would describe the game so I had an idea what's actually happening. Anyway, fun game.

i haven't listened to those guys in years for that reason. if you listen to other broadcasts you find that none of them talk about their breakfast and old hit songs from their youth and their socks and that time someone picked his nose like they do. can't take it.

great win tho
