Darko on Hawks Loss: “We didn’t secure that last possession… probably we are the only one team in the NBA physically working on boxing out in game-like situations”

Well when you have Thad Young as your starting center atm that doesn’t help

I mean if you’re playing Nwora in crunch time possessions what do you expect.

let’s be honest, Scottie over helped going for the block, and Nwora got sucked toward the drive too, which left his man (Bey) open for the easy rebound/finish.
Most of the time, we are in positions to win games. Can’t close them out though.

Nwora doesn’t even attempt to box out Bey on the miss. Just watches the ball the entire time. It looks like Bey pushes him out of position, but that’s why he needs to hold his ground. Meanwhile, Thad was fighting for his life against Clint. For some reason, Brown kind of lets himself get beat even though he has no baseline help, then instead of switching onto Johnson, kind of skips in the air?
It’s just weird man

“we had to box out tonight? If that was the case, just let us know, so we don’t show up for the game.”

I’ve accepted/embraced the tank. It is nice to see Dick making strides. Betting BB can’t wait to get outta dodge tho. Caught him with some discouraging body language more than once last night.

At least it’s good to know they’re working on it lol

Working on boxing out at the pro level is crazy 😂😂

Maybe he should have put some tall guys in the game for the last 7 seconds. I knew for a fact we were losing on a put back – even called it beforehand. We needed rebounders – wtf was Trent doing there? Was it also Schroeder and Brown? Really poor coaching decision.

[Thad very clearly had a body on his man boxing out, and he even looks over to see who’s supposed to be boxing out Bey.](https://x.com/atlhawks/status/1751780683767247183?s=46&t=gY5jIOvxYyOB8ytl_YohFQ)
Everything he talked about was spot on
