Bledsoe is lucky to hit the rim sometimes.

I tell you what. This is a game that shows Stan is not a very good coach. These guys do not know how to adjust based on a defense. He’s being out coached to the max tonight and I have tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but anyone who writes this performance off as players being out is not seeing the bigger picture. The Hawks are also missing very key guys and they are still running their offense and defense. Stan is being saved by Zion.

That's your takeaway from a starting lineup comprised two guys who weren't even on the team a month ago?

Sure is. Because in this league you can’t continue to make excuses. Monty Williams didn’t get them. Why should this trash can? Monty never once had a team look this lost and he had a revolving door roster.

The Hawks have actual NBA players outside of Trae, Gallo, and Collins. Huerter, Capela, Bogdonovic, and Lou Will are no slouches.

You don't need to wait for the team to be hamstrung by injuries to say SVG is not a very good coach. You've never had a favorable opinion of it. So you aren't even saying anything.

And don't try and frame this as me defending him. I don't care at all about him. Just this is like mocking a one armed boxer for having a poor 1-2 combo.

I have been saying it all year. He stinks. And he has proven it with the constant terrible coaching games with a fully healthy roster.

I get that. Maybe I just thought the Pels had better players than they are. I’ll probably lower my expectations to accept losing.

I know you have. This game doesn't prove anything. Hell. All it's good for us pushing us closer to someone we probably will trade away but whatever.

Zero chance. Next year gotta win.

Still sitting pretty to move up to 7th or 8th before the end of the season.

Man. Bledsoe. I had thought maybe he was just getting lost in the mix playing with our other starters....but....he....just wow. He should have taken over these past two games the way our opponents vets have with their stars out. The sooner he's gone, the better.

Kira with 21 points. Nice.

Who would y’all rather see take over for Bledsoe? Is it still NAW or Kira?

I can’t help but want to see Kira playing with the starters. He is such a natural floor general.

Zo and Hart starting with Kira and NAW off the bench would be my wish. I think NAW and Kira are doing OK offensively but they just aren't there yet on D and we need the starting SG to be 3 and D since they're next to Zion and BI. The bench needs pace and points, so they still fit perfectly there.

I would like this myself. Not opposed to Hart starting at all. He has become a favorite of mine and I hope they bring him back for at least 3-4 more years.

His feel for the game is considerable. And the game hasn't fully slowed down for him. Once he starts keeping pace mentally with the things around him, he'll be even more dangerous. That and when he gets that core and base built up. He comes up short on a lot of his jumpers and floaters.

If he can undergo a similar body improvement that Jaxson Hayes got in just one offseason, he's gonna make certain players expendable.

If only if our FA scouting was as good as our draft scouting. We'd have a half a team that could of actually played tonight.

Favors
Redick
Bledsoe
Adams

Bad moves that costed around $80 million.
