I’d kind of prefer those guys take the night off and give some extra minutes to Sharife and Jalen. Delon Wright can handle extra minutes at backup SG and backup PG while getting ten minutes of game time for Sharife Cooper.

Jalen can get 5-10 minutes of sharing the floor with S. Cooper.

Wizards will be undermanned tonight. We should see big games from Collins and Capela.

If we can clamp down on Beal, this should be an easy victory.

They aren't really deep getting their ass handed to them tonight.

I didn't like this matchup before the tip.
Washington has been playing some very good basketball. Team effort, Beal, and they have some tough players.

If this is the way the refs are going to call games I'm going to stop watching the NBA as soon as college starts up.

Frustration bubbles up for Hawks in loss to Wizards

Watch on YouTube

The Hawks (3-2) looked frustrated and struggled to get stops in a 122-111 loss to the Wizards (4-1) Thursday in Washington. Next up, the Hawks will continue their road trip in Philadelphia Saturday. Below are some takeaways from the loss:

Collins led the Hawks in scoring with 28 points (14-16 FG) and added 12 rebounds for a double-double, continuing his strong shooting start to the season.
With technical fouls awarded to Trae Young, John Collins and De’Andre Hunter, plus another tech given to the team for a delay of game, you could sense the frustration stemming from the Hawks, particularly at certain no-calls. Similar feelings bubbled up in Saturday’s loss to Cleveland, but the Hawks can’t let that get to them, coach Nate McMillan said after the game.
Young (15 points, 13 assists, 2-3 FT) has voiced his frustration with the new rules/interpretations, and did so again after Thursday’s loss, though he did say he agrees with shooters not being allowed to jump/veer into defenders anymore. His main issue is when a player is knocked off balance when driving in the lane.
Lack of offense wasn’t the problem for the Hawks — they shot 54.5% from the field and had 68 points in the paint. Ultimately, defense was the main issue. Even as they ate into the deficit in the fourth quarter, they couldn’t consistently get stops, with four Wizards players finishing with 20-plus points despite not having Spencer Dinwiddie (rest).
Cam Reddish had a strong showing off the bench, helping the Hawks get back in the game in the fourth quarter, at one point whittling it down to a five-point deficit. Reddish finished with 20 points (8-14 FG) and was a bright spot for Atlanta, amid a tough game.

Next up, the Hawks will continue their road trip in Philadelphia Saturday.
