PG: 4th Quarter Defence!

[Los_29]

Great game. Excellent contributions from nearly everyone. Man, the Hawks are bad. Who assembled that team?

[TheRaptor!]

If we can trade our useless pieces to upgrade the PG spot and get a solid 6th man scorer we'll be in good hands.

Assuming Yak is fine

[Indeed]

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

Anyone else?
I think the Hawks lacked another closer, and we just need to have Jalen Johnson shoots long jumpers.
Impressive winning by a large margin, but not unexpected for the win.

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

The Hawks broadcast was raving about the fan noise, "said it was non stop loud in there"

Easy to say in getting ride of our existing contract.
I think the Bulls may have some 3&D point guards in expiring, but I don't think we would give them a pick for taking Quickley, and unsure we want to take on a contract like Patrick Williams.

It would be nice if they talked about the game more. Did you hear it was someone's birthday? What about the other? Well birthday weekend anyway. 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

I’ll take Matt + Jack over every other broadcaster in the league.

Sounds like wanna listen to the radio, not tv

People seem to think TV broadcasts should drown out commentary and just be crowd noise lol

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.

This era of NBA is different. Feels like the development window is longer in the last 10-15 years.

Something to keep an eye on is Shead's turnovers. Definite increase in December with 3 more tonight. Was a problem for him last year.

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

That's the problem though (his shooting).

If you can't shoot and your defender can sag off.....it makes all your plays riskier (passes and dribbles) So it makes good passers look like bad passers even though the root problem is shooting.

2nd game of back to back and missing their starting C. they need to trade for a better/more reliable big than KP

This is an EXCELLENT point and there has to be some data to show it. If true.....it has all sorts of ramnifications in team building.

he could always score the ball, he wasn't gonna stick like that being drafted at 17 tho, he's definitely breaking out this year tho

Im convinced darkos minutes are pre determined. Dick regardless of his level of play gets about 15 min. He was actually super disruptive on defense today

Ex trae the hawks have a team man. Jalen johnson is nasty. They just ran out of gas today from the b2b

KP missing time is something he’s dealt with his whole career though. They knew what they were getting.

Back to backs are hard but they are a bad team. That’s the biggest issue.

Where are the wins? What’s their record? It’s most certainly not a good team.

To be fair Raptors broadcast is notorious for lowering the crowd way more than basically every other team

Is our Offense finally back?

If RJ is the offence, then yes

Edit: he isn’t the offence but he is the special ingredient, the secret sauce

RJ is the connector on offense. He doesn't hold the ball, he applies pressure, and his ability to make a quick decision to either score or pass the ball unlocks a new dimension for us offensively.

Hopefully the RJ haters shut up now, and realize just how valuable he is. RJ is a steady guy you can consistently rely on to give you 20/6/4 every night without pounding the ball.

I agree with all that. I’d add he also doesn’t need the ball to score. He’s elite at cutting, getting out in transition, and moving to the open spot on the 3 point line.

i think so too. cuz they looked very good yesterday

[SFour]

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

imagine if they can upgrade to an allstar at the PG or C spot....while keeping the core of Barnes, Ingram, RJ
