Basketball, this time on the road. Let's hope for a more impressive team performance than last game, eh?
Basketball.
Hawks are a team that can give up a lot of offensive boards. I wouldnt be surprised to see a Jonas bounce back game if they use him effectively. Like the Clips game a week ago, it will be a possession battle. Hawks dont turn it over a lot and are effective in their half court sets, but since they dont get to the line a lot or shoot a ton of 3's, you can beat them if you minimize your own turnovers and have equal possessions. They will send you to the line and give up boards. That, to me, screams more of a Zion and JV bully ball game than a CJ/BI crafty mid range game. We shall see

All that AND...IF Young doesn't play I really like the Pels in this one. Murray has been playing great lately, but even as badly as Herb has been playing offensively..I still remember he was put on Murray in the playin game vs Spurs...and it was a nightmare for Murray. Small sample size of course, but funny how different matchups seem to work or not work. Noticed Hawks were just a one point favorite...I'm assuming that probably means...no Young.
Murray is a dee, oh, you, see, aitch, ee, so we'd better win

So Trae Young gets knocked out last game is a game time decision, but BI misses 4 games under the concussion protocol?
Shouldn't Trae miss too?
Our guys will always miss more time. Always
Atlanta has the best in game music of any team by far. That Sir Foster guy is incredible
Gotta set those screens better, neither Jonas nor Zion's screen caused them to have to switch off on CJ.
starting off bad on defense inside..
I love watching Jonas play is a big man
Pels and free throws...come on...
IQ is better on offense that we are taking advantage of atlanta mismatch..
Don’t worry, Fred Vinson will fix it!Originally Posted by Chris
CJ has to setnup the screens, too. No?
CJ's shot is falling tonight
Zion has one hand. Everyone knows it. Here comes the turnovers
Zion is too one-dimensional. He would rather pivot into a wall of bodies to go left than to pivot right into an open lane.
Teams are just targeting zion cause they know he can't defend yikes
Forget Zion vs Ja, that ain’t debatable
Zion vs SGA, I am taking the next ten years of SGA and not thinking twice. Honestly, Zion vs Haliburton is a solid debate
Ok Herb! blew past his man and threw it down with aggression where did that come from
When Trae goes out, that’s when you should beat Atlanta. They outscored us by 8 in those 5 minutes
It feels like when Jonas is out there the rest of the team just expects him to rebound and they dont even try to go after rebounds
FLOP
Not sure why graham gets any playing time if he doesn't provide anything on the court
Another Zion unforced turnover leads to three the other way. So goofy with the ball
