    Trae Young has such a stupid punchable face

    Afternoon basketball is a nice change, but this game wasn’t it

  3. surgeyou123

    This team can’t even get blown out properly.

    Sympathy win for Atlanta on MLK day

  4. BossKingGodd

    Don’t think Heat played particularly bad. Hawks just couldn’t miss. On to the next.

  5. Simple-Ad-7866

    Can we all agree that Caleb at Power forward isn’t the answer

  6. Ticonderoga2HB

    This is on Spo WHY TF WAS MAX IN WHEN HE GOT COOKED ALLL GAME

  7. Own-Marsupial-4448

    Well that sucks!! Great game nonetheless!! Can’t wait to see Trae again!! We’ll see him soon!!

  8. SudTheThug

    Spo lost this when he took bam out 4th quarter, they went on a 7-0 run after

    he did the same thing with the raps when he refused to use a timeout to put jimmy in with 3 mins left

    strus and Gleaguers should not have more 40 min games then Bam

    bam isn’t old

  9. RansomGoddard

    Wish they’d played the first half like they played that second half

    Winnable game but I’m not going to lose sleep over it. On to the next.

    We were really missing Kyle’s leadership and full court passes.

    Murray had to have this game, we punted this team from the playoffs last year and he was their key acquisition, he had something to prove.

  12. waynelo4

    that 5 second violation at the end was so fucking stupid. you had a TO

  13. Zoguinha

    We lost the game on the first half. Atleast we fought back in the second.

    We REALLY need better 3 point shooting from our “specialists”.

    Hawks don’t lose on MLK day, so I can deal with this L. I need Spo to stop benching Bam once he gets into a rhythm. And get Jimmy back into the game earlier.

    I’m so fucking tired of Max Strus and Spo giving these mediocre fucking undrafted players so much focus. I swear if I see another Strus pick and roll with fucking Herro Bam and Jimmy on the court. I’m gonna flip the fuck out.

    Can’t win in today’s league with that 3 point shooting discrepancy. Unironically could have used Duncan this game. Also, why the fuck are we fouling so often. What happened to the discipline? Could have been a good win to keep the momentum going, but oh well

    shitty as it may have looked, this game wasn’t really that bad. the Hawks could not miss for the first half and threw us into a 20pt deficit, and then we battled back up to a 4 point lead. that’s the nature of the modern NBA.

    – jimmy had 34/3/3 on 68% from the field, getting to the line at will. smothering defense

    – bam started slow and ended with 20/13/5/3/3. bit of an off game for him, but by no means a bad performance. kind of a monster statline

    – tyler had a rough outing, sure, but he’s coming off a few games on injury and days away from the team. he’s gonna find his shot — everyone knows that.

    – could we have gotten a little more out of the bench unit? probably, but sometimes a unit can’t find a rhythm. that’s perfectly normal. this whole team is playing practically down an integral piece every game and can’t find ANY semblance of consistency

    – also, you guys who were so pro-ORob are awfully quiet now that the UDFA two-way player has put up a complete nothingburger of a game. he was not the answer and never was.

    when one team shoots as absolute lights out as the Hawks did and our bench shoots as absolute piss-poor as they did, and we only lose by… how many points functionally, not counting all the trips to the line at the end, 4? that’s nothing to be upset about

    go next, and quit fucking whining

  18. Dynamical164

    This loss was on Spo. So many chances to win this, even after the 26 point deficit, that Spo’s rotation ruined. Not bringing Jimmy back in during the 4th until the defect was back to 12+, subbing Bam for no reason during crunch time leading to a quick 7-0 Hawks run. *Strus* has 4 40+ minute games to Bam’s 0.

    I get we don’t have a good roster, and we constantly have starters in and out, but Spo’s been inarguably average at best this season. If we ever turn it around Spo’s going to have to be a big part of it.

  19. chitownbulls92

    The thing about this team is you need all 3 stars to be playing perfect to have a shot at winning …not to mention how many more times is this team going to have 25% from 3 type of nights …

  20. It’s really difficult to catchup when you don’t shoot 3s that well. We could have put more pressure on them if those 2 (Max and Highsmith) in and out 3s just went in. At least the Knicks and Pacers lost so we did not lose any ground in the standings.

    Dolphins delay of game and Dipo can’t inbound…. ptsd setting in rn

  22. limpl0uie

    I really cannot believe some of you think Spo should be playing Jimmy and Bam way more minutes than they should. You should be blaming the other players who aren’t pulling their own weight. When Bam sits for much deserved rest, other players should come in and play well. It really is that simple.

    Those other guys not playing well doesn’t mean Bam and Jimmy should play more. It means those other guys need to be better or they need to be gone.
