Hart threw that about 6 feet off target lol

Hope Crowder's okay. That's not a foul or anything, it's a totally legit part of the shooting motion, but that's gonna hurt. Needs to check his teeth after that.
Have to appreciate the toughness from Jrue tonight. He is taking some abuse and still making some plays. Now if he’d just make his damn ft’s
Great little bounce pass from Ingram there, right into a cutting Lonzo
This is what happens when your players actually move off the ball and your plan A,B,C,D through Z isn’t to throw an awful pass to Zion that results in a turnover.
Frank from the corner has so far hit 1 shot, airballed 1 shot, and travelled on 1 shot. Balance.
We win a bad challenge and we lose all of our righteous challenges? Wtf
I feel really bad for Zion. He has 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first half. At least 2 rebounds have been stolen from him by Hart (again, lol) and he's had at least 4 really really nice potential assists where guys have just completely bricked the shot. He could be on 4 boards and 5 assists.
Depressing his stats to try and sabotage his ROTY run smh, I thought our guys were better than this...
That's how Ball was all first half of the season. Amazing passes bobbled by our bumbling bigs or just straight bricked.....I don't recall many people feeling sorry for him, though.
Those other games are ALL looking good, so far......ooooey.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
Why do we turn stupid at the 2 minute warning? Don’t blow this lead
Dragic quieted down once Frank was inserted in the game.

We have done a much better job of prioritizing movement off the ball in this one. If Zion is the only focus all game as in the past 3, we will lose a lot of games. Forcing bad passes is only good for giving away turnovers.
I honestly don't really think that Zion has been ''the only focus all game'' in most of our recent games.
The number of times Zion gets completely ignored while in perfect position is baffling. There have multiple (at least 3 come immediately to mind) occasions through different games where he's gone 5+ on-court minutes without getting a single shot attempt.
Tonight, despite being a perfect 5/5 shooting and being in great position for at least another handful of open looks, he's taken only as many shots as Frank Jackson, and fewer than Jrue, Lonzo, Hart, and half as many attempts as Ingram.
If anything, guys need to pay more attention to him in the second half; he's getting plenty of open looks and he's passing extremely well when he gets doubled.
Hawks CEO talk about moving the season to December to August.
That's only half a month of Pre-season Gentry. Lol
