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.

yahhhhhh NO! No that's not a real rumor. Dallas already got a big because their deal with Capela was a no go. They aren't doing that now. Hawks are active right now but this is probably what we go to camp with.

It also cost them Grayson Allen which is not nothing.

1) I usually don't talk about the rest of the league, only the Hawks. 2) Quote: " As a reminder, we are to 9/16 which was the day we were looking for for things to heat up again. Then the above article pops confirming the things we were talking about back in June/July. With FIBA now over and teams assured of knowing the injury situation of players going into camp, we'll see some rumors heat up now and a few deals in the league will get done going into camp. " End Quote Boom! How do you like me now son?

1 week to training camp....tic...tic...tic Longest offseason ever!!!
