RedDawg#8 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just call him "12", like the Police. Or is that strictly an urban dictionary reference? Seriously though, I thought his nickname in the locker room was Optimus Prime or something like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing Nate said last night in post game presser- said JC was a constant at the practice facility all offseason and is in GREAT shape. Clint, Bogi, Huerter, Hunter all had offseason 'injury management' so I think most of their offseason was spent rehabbing vs just training and conditioning for the season - that makes a difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this 100% most of the players struggling were rehabbing in the off season. They need to get it together though. Hopefully, the defense will continue to be really good. You can always lean on the defense when the offense isn't there. Edited October 29, 2021 by marco102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll up my concern level to yellow after 20 games if we still see the same struggles. After forty game flashing red, at 60 games full on P-A-N-I-C!!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Popular Post JayBirdHawk Posted October 30, 2021 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 John Collins has been phenomenal Quote Collins is shooting 68 percent from the field through five games. That’s a number that’s normally reserved for centers who are just dunking and getting putback attempts, but it’s been a collection of him continuing to have his name in the conversation for best roller in the pick-and-roll while leveling up his midrange game. He’s 14-of-16 as the roll man so far, 8-of-9 as a cutter to the rim and he’s shooting better than 50 percent in the midrange. And once Collins starts hitting 3s with more consistency, which he’s shot 40 percent from 3 in back-to-back seasons, we’re talking about one of the more complete offensive games out of any power forward in the NBA. Outside of some early foul trouble, Collins has been dominant — and he’s doing it on both ends of the floor. He’s been the team’s best front court defender so far and arguably the second-best defender behind Hunter. I feel like Collins and Young are the two guys on the Hawks so far where it’s felt like, OK, they can just take over at any moment and swing games themselves. Collins has been that good. https://theathletic.com/2918075/2021/10/29/hawks-have-mostly-looked-average-ahead-of-difficult-stretch-plus-other-early-season-trends/?source=rss&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked us to have two all stars, but got the second guy wrong. Collins is living with his head above the rim this year. There’s a poster dunk every game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDawg#8 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 JC is getting a lot more touches so far. He has always been efficient. We are finally giving him the scoring opportunities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 He's our 4, but I hope to see more of the last 2 games, since 1 healthy center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, but we all have our opinions. I don't think people should confuse predicting great or dire things with what a person is rooting for. I'm sure Terrell is rooting for great things for the Hawks but doesn't believe they will come to pass because of how ugly he sees the start of this season and the conclusions about the team that he draws from it. That said, I'm still very confident we aren't going to be 6-14. If we are, I'll own missing that. But I'm sure if we are 14-6 that Terrell will be happy to be wrong.

He's thrown his opinion out there and every damn bad moment he's like ah ha! I told you I was right, so it seems he has a rooting interest in the team being bad or underwhelming. He's not like some posters that disappear when the team does well though. I'll hand him that. Edited November 1, 2021 by marco102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted November 2, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Collins with 22 assists in 7 games this seasons....2nd behind Trae. Same amount as our starting wings combined (Bogi 19, Hunter 3). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
