Da art of Storytellin: The 2015-16 Official Thread of Your Atlanta Hawks #SET

[AVXL]

Okay finally I can comment, lol.

I keep seeing a lot of positives, even in these bad losses....and this is a bad loss. The Celtics loss was just AS bad. I wasn't THAT mad at the Minnesota loss, that's a good young team. But we ain't got mo business losing to the damn Jazz.

I like how we fought back tonight, showed some grit. I AM concerned, though, how scrub teams keep beating us with size inside. Not that that's a new problem, but it somehow seems more pronounced when the shooting is off. Also, we gotta stop playing from behind, the Jazz were up by 25 or something EARLY, we gotta defend more vigorously as a team earlier in games.

I WILL say, prior to this game, that we've had some good balanced scoring so far...against the Celtics 11 players scored and six had double-digit points. Our bench has been a plus so far, too (except, again, not tonight). Sefolosha is really stepping his offensive game up, as well. I need more from Splitter, though, especially on the damn boards. Muscala played well in his spots last week, especially against Boston. But he needs to stay consistent.

As for Bazemore....I dunno what others are seeing, but he's been great for us as a starter so far.

I was at work and didn't see tonight's game until the last minute of the 4th. We're gettin beat by treadmill teams we have no business losing to. The Minny game they get no pass for. That was terrible basketball for a whole half. Didn't see most of the game tonight but again we get beat against a team with size. As for Bazemore, I personally wouldn't say he's been great. He's played well in spots, he's played poorly in spots. His shortcomings have been well documented but I'm gonna give him the year to see what he could ultimately be. He's easily our weakest starter tho

Bazemore is the scapegoat around here for some reason. We get beat up on the boards and its his fault smh. Plug sefolosha in full time because millsap and horf cant get the rebounds for us by themselves. Thabo should help

The lineup the jazz threw out near the end was frustrating to watch. Hood, hayward, burks, favors, gobert. Only way to combat that was to put a stretch 4(muscala) to exploit them on defense. But that lineup straight bullied us.

No one has said that. He's a new starter trying to find his way. But he plays out of control at times, he forces jump shots, he forces shots at the rim or in transition. And yes, he's really small and he's playing SF (6'5 & 200 is small as fukk at SF nowadays). Plus let's keep it real, he's replacing DMC who did everything for us at the position last year. Who was gonna replace DMC was a huge storyline for this season so obviously the scrutiny was gonna be high for whoever ended up starting at the 3. His overall results have been mixed but he's had more good moments than bad. But saying everyone is blaming him for everything that's going wrong is ridiculous

That's why Noone hardly fukks with you Hawk nikkas! We got nykkas in here giving in depth analysis on a game yet no one knows that one of their players left the game.

Minnesota got talent. The Celtics were a playoff team last year. Jazz are the #1 defensive team in the league who we played without our PG. No one in Cleveland cares that they lost to the Bucks. No one in San Antonio cares that they lost to Washington. No one in Chicago cares that they lost to Charlotte. For everyone else, "it's still early". We're contenders, bout time we act like it

A lot of posters don't admit it but DMC was basically a PF with range and he could defend SF's. He helped our undersized frontcourt out with his size alone. It's not Baze fault but he's just an undersized SF and really a SG who isn't a consistent shooter. I personally think Baze is probably as good right now as DMC was last year but his size makes us extremely undersized and it's showed in most of our losses. We need a SF badly. Honestly, Baze has been much better for us this year than Korver for us.

I just want to know why we traded for Hardaway Jr instead of a SF who could do numbers like Marcus Morris and has size.

The THJR trade looks worse & worse every day. Yea I know Bud has a plan, but I can't imagine that the plan was to trade for a player who won't play...I thought that was the reason we traded our draft pick so that we could get a player who could immediately contribute. Now we have a player in THJR who hasn't even seen the floor and were almost a month in

To be fair, oubre or jerian grant wouldn't have played a minute for us either. Let hardaway learn the system before we knock that trade. The other acquisitions, splitter and holiday, came from similar systems so its been a relatively seemless transition for them.
