Lets talk about Clint for a minute.  Dude is back to missing layups and seems not to have any spring in his legs.  Am I the only one who is noticing this?

I mentioned last game and in chat tonight. He doesn't seem as spry, I'll chalk it up to the achilles injury that kept him out of preseason. This reminds me of his first 10 or so games last season...he was lumbering. Needs to get his conditioning up.

He looked springy vs. Dallas...Not so much the last 2 games...

He started slow last season so i don't know. He usually has issues with Jonas so I'm not worried.

The Hawks are still trying things out and experimenting.  For example, they've been going to specific players through the games.  Bogi was getting a lot of touches in the fourth.  Last year, Nate would keep the ball in Trae's hand and run the pick and roll.  The Hawks closed out their first pressure game on the road with defense (clap).

We aren't playing nearly our best and are 3-1.  It's going to be tough these first couple of weeks with the rule changes and just getting the guys back into rhythm. 

Trae had a good, not great to me. 

John and Gallo are very important to us.  Everytime one of them were on the floor, we went on big runs.  John has to work on staying out of foul trouble. John's offensive rebounds were critical. 

Delon showed up tonight.  

Dre's defense was impeccable and he actually had a pretty good offensive game.  We should have gone to him more. 

Capela had a rough shooting game. However, his rebounding and defense were good.

Bogi and Huerter were rough.

We need to give this team about 15 - 20 games to start getting consistent. 

Edit:  In 3 out of 4 games, we've held our opponents to under 100 points.  THIS is what we need to be an elite team.  The offense will come.

With Gallo back he will have to find a groove to get shots, since Gallo will be getting his.

Didn't even consider that's why Cam shot less.

I don't know... He was kinda getting owned by Valacuinas for a large portion of that game.

[JayBirdHawk]

After 9 TOs in the 1st half, only 2 TOs in the second half to end with 11.

After going 0-12 from 3 in the 1st half,  Went 8-12 in 2nd half.

Great turnaround on these.

Gallo with two uncharacteristic missed freethrows.

Giannis goes for 40 in a loss.....lol

Ugly but road wins often are. A dubs a dub, I'll take em all

I had no problem with Gallo's performance except maybe the free throws.

Owned is subjective.  They both were battling Val had 15 rebounds and Capela 12.

Huerter signed that contract and cant score anymore..lol..

Hope he gets it going...

Bogi looking kinda rough himself.

We need more from the sg position..

To me thats still the 1 position i want to make a massive trade for to get a star player at.  If we could trade for a Jaylen Brown type of player i think it makes us much much better.

Val had 16 points Capela 5

Holy Sh**!  John Collins had 4 assists.   Just realized that.  He's been so limited with fouls, but he's definitely taken a leap.

Didn't Boston get blown out again tonight?  He ain't helping that team win.

John played really well when he was on the floor.

Is it just me?  I can't be the only one tired of hearing how great NAW is.  Did he even play tonite?  Trick question because, yes he did.  He just made absolutely no impact.

I think Trae might need to start bleeding after contact to get foul calls. The refs aren't calling drives to the baskets where he's fouled and that needs to change. That's not "foul baiting" that's as classic basketball as you can get.
