Official Game Thread: Bucks at Hawks

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LP needs to simplify this offense.  The rest of the league has figured out how to defend us.

As for the defensive end, play the guys that impact the game the most on that end.

And don't play small.  If a stretch 4 beats you with a ton of 3s, so be it.   But we must protect the paint better and grab defensive rebounds.

I really want to see LP feature Reddish v. Chicago. It's time to see how he would look as our #1 option at this stage of his development. 

It’s time. Does Cam get angry? I mean I know he’s a rookie but can he just show a little bit of emotion. I mean I really loved the attempt to end Robin Lopez. It made me smile . He’s gonna be great it’s just hard watching him struggle when you know he can be so good. 
 

My starters tomorrow:

Pg-Huerter

Sg-Cam

Sf-Hunter

Pf-Collins

C-Bruno

He's right, our offense is too advanced for the current personnel. It just don't look good because we don't have many offensive minded guys who can execute.

Playing without Trae might actually be good for the team.

This team is not fun to watch at all. We are an absolute train wreck. Ressler has to be pissed, this is not acceptable. No Giannis, no Bledsoe, and they blow us out with ease.

Collins and Huerter was supposed to make a big difference.

I am done with Huerter. He will be traded or will be 9th man for us when we finally become good team down the road.

Despite the circumstances he was one of the few to show up a bit tonight.

Heck, think I would go with Goodwin starting at the point but agree with Cam, Hunter, Collins and Bruno at the other spots. I mean we absolutely have to start our rookies now in my mind.

Don't believe it will look too good though. Jeepers.

11 Turnovers, 8 measley assists. 

Young has a new handle after tonight's game.  Instead of Ice Trae, he is now Turnover Trae!  For tonight's game he had 2 assists and 4 turnovers and a (-25) rating.

Goodwin, our new backup PG, up from the G League, had the Hawks highest @ (+6) for the game.  Insane.  There is no way that this is true.  A potential all star goes out with an injury and a G League PG comes in and makes his stats look so bad.

And, if I am to believe some posters here, Goodwin plays much better defense than Trae.  Wow!  As the Hawks travel to Chicago for the next beat down, Atlanta will be without Trae.  Can the Hawks please step up their game and at least make a good showing.

We all want to blame Lloyd Pierce.  True, he has been really bad recently.  The entire Hawk team has been terrible.  No defense.  No offense.  Can't.  Simply, they can't.  Since the Hawks front office can't fire the entire team, the only alternative is LP.  His seat has to be so hot right now!!

Bad coach.  Bad team.  Bad X 2 = need to do something.  Not the time to blow up everything.  That would be terrible.  We're in a rebuild mode and some things are just terrible.  Time to consider all the alternatives.

GO ATL HAWKS !!

LP doing Vince a solid to give him more minutes, out of position no less, when even going small would at most times be a better option than that has really hurt the team. Next year without that situation will be an upgrade in itself if CLP remains.

It's like Berlin at the end of World War 2. Even the most faithful have succumbed to despair.

GM has been outstanding all season with his posts.  He's traditionally been the voice that calms everyone down.  

But even he knows to get out of the way of a runaway train, with no brakes.
