2024 Preseason Game Thread 3: Hawks at heat

[JayBirdHawk]

 

I would surmise this is a game for bench and GL, then the final game tomorrow will be a dress rehearsal?

OMFG i gotta deal with the heat broadcast?

Why TF do they put up Trae's turnovers from a preseason game?

Fkng clowns. 

[kg01]

Both ZR and Hunter out tonite.  Speculate away, @thecampster.

I'll start.  Seems obvious an MMA brawl broke out at halftime vs PHI.

I think Bob said something about Quin splitting the team on B2B's for the preseason.  So I would expect maybe that's gonna be a thing...

He's picking up where he left off last season. The improvement on his shooting looks legit.

Yeah I expected more to sit out this 1st game.  But I'll go with my conspiracy theory, if you don't mind.

Vit looking like he got a few thangs in his bag
We might need to keep having this conversation.

[ShayD]

This is driving me nuts. Really cannot take care of the ball if Trae is not handling it?

[kg01]

I mean, maybe not toss the ball around like a live grenade and we might do some thangs.

And how do the heat have about 40 steals and only up by like 4?

Somehow Trae is at fault for all of these turnovers, I just know it lol

But seriously

we have to be strong with the ball against the Heat. Why are we never mentally prepared for this? They cannot out talent you, but they are going to out muscle you if you let them. Be strong, be active, be physical. We always look like a  HS team versus them.

'They' told me he was....

This is what I hate about League Pass... Bruh, I will actually PAY to see commercials instead of this

[hawkman]

Now that's how you finish JJ. No layups.

Hawks are red hot from 3.

JJ dominating on offense.

Trae is back to looking like a floor general again after a one game "hiatus".

He's gonna be streaky because he's overly dependent on his jumpshot in the half court but he's an elite transition player and he when he's hot, he's tough to deal with
