Scouting the Pistons first two games:

  • Detroit has struggled offensively since starting a rookie at PG. They are currently 29th in Off Efficiency.
  • Pistons deep well of big men could prove a difficult challenge if Hawks remain shorthanded in the front court.
  • Blake Griffin is largely a perimeter player at this point -- launching threes and running offense from the elbow.
  • Their team has relinquished leads late in both games so far.

Might as well sit Capela out this game and save him for Brooklyn.

Atlanta has gained the respect of Vegas. Hawks are a 10pt favorite.

Trae should make things difficult for Killian Hayes.

Siddiq is someone I target for us if we traded down to the teen picks. Looking forward to see if he has the NBA ready type of game.

I'm channeling you and your worrisome self on this one, @jamallo. I'm worried about this game. Like too many indicators suggest the Hawks should win. Watch someone like friggin Sekou go off for 40 and 15 rebounds on us. :-?

Smells like a trap game for the Hawks - players might be feeling good after 2 road wins, back at home, no Blake or Rose. I hope the team has the same focus and energy for this one.

is it bad that this is the first game this year I think we will win? I'm always wrong.

There an ignore button here. Or something that recognizes $hit posts by $hit people? I’d like that installed. GTFO here you ain’t even Hawks fans just waiting for us to lose prolly. :nonono:

A game like this will indicate growth for this team. Win a game you are expected to win and by a lot.
