The new twinsees haircut made it hard.

This D is like Christmas.

Engage Alpha mode activated.

He showed more personality in that moment than 1000 Nate folded arms death stares.

LOL at Q. Stern look at Mo G after that pass but can't hold it and cracks a smile.

Staying

Jalen holding, Trae on the curl is a very good look.

Gueye forcing things. Bufkin looking like a 19 tear old in the 3td quarter.

Ugly shot by Bufkin there. Forced it.

I think they're struggling to adapt to the new system. Seem out of rhythm.

Shot attempts from the starters 3/4/6/7/8. That's pretty balanced.

It's preseason and only 1 half but did we hold anyone to under 50 points in the 1st half last year?

Facts!

I forgot what all coaches on the same page looks like. Totally different look subbing in/out and bench work. I'm watching weird crap tonight.

I was gonna say that. He looked like he felt disrespected on that 3.

Some missed shots jipping people of assists, but this is some very different offense. Saw a few off ball screens, some slashing to move the defense off the 3 pt line. Our defense challenging off ball movement instead of just chasing it.

Some active hands thus far.

Its just one season and a lot of factors go into it, I know. But 1.7 PP/100 possessions better on defense. Its hard to explain and is all subjective but stats do back up his defense had regressed. 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 His 2020-21 numbers to 22-23 is a crazy drop-off. We got worse as a team which is adding to it but the defense regressed.

I can't believe I'm this excited to watch a preseason game.

Let's look at Intent. I dont think he intended to offend. I'd say let this go and move past it. Bigger fish to fry out there.

Am I the only one that thinks Okongwu is a bad ass name and doesn't beg a nickname?

Kobe cut his hair and looks like he's hit the weights hard.

Unselfish seems to be the buzzword at Hawks media day.

I expect a 50+ win season. I'm expecting better chemistry, more ball movement, less Trae ball domination. I expect better 3 point shooting.

I both hate and love media day. I'd prefer we had practice/games to watch but I love the new season photos of the players, the speculation, the hope.
