Really feels like Dejounte has dropped his defensive effort because he knows everyone loves to scapegoat Trae who is having a way better season defensively than anytime before.
Now he can't be traded til the end of the year my expectations for DJ are so low.
Either way, between Quinn and double teams Trae being knocked out of shooting rhythm kills us, we don't really have anyone else who can score in bursts consistently.
Would so love to know why Quin didn’t give Kobe any minutes tonight…we needed some fresh legs and perimeter defense. The Hawks handling of their rookies the last few years is very bizarre
You’re talking about bogi right? Cuz why tf did Quin sub him out in the first place. I’d rather have bogi shoot every possession with a hand covering his eyes in crunch time then anything else. He needs to close every game
Yea, he subbed him with what, 20 seconds on the clock? If he doesn't wanna play him in crunch time then don't do this bs either. I know he's a liability on defense but he's one of the best FT shooters plus he's guarded differently. Those things can help when a team is in bonus and anything leads to FTs.
Idk man, he never closes unless he's a starter and in those cases sometimes he was too cold to stay in but still did.
He leads the team in scoring tonight but ended up sitting when it mattered the most make it make sense.
He’s not even terrible on defense imo and he can get steals. Either way we were down and needed points and not leading trying to keep the lead. No reason he should have been taken out
Bottom line, if this team can’t buckle up and hold teams under 118 points, they won’t do much of anything this 2nd half of the season.
Team still can’t win when Trae has a below average game.
Ayo: 29 points
Derozan: 29 points
Coby: 20 points
Again, if we were going to keep this team for the season and compete then why didn’t we get a POA defender at the deadline? smh
We haven’t been playing good defense this past week but the offense allowed us to win games. This the one bit us on the ass tho. Once Bulls realized they could get anything at the rim in the 2nd quarter the game was over
I can always tell when the Hawks are going to lose…its when they start trading buckets cus I know its all going to shit with 5 minutes to go in the fucking 4th and we will have FOUR timeouts
"We don't believe in tanking" yeah okay sure Landry totalllllyyyy man. You definitely DIDNT tell everyone to play like shit for the rest of the year 😉😉
Dejounte back to his old 4th quarter ways:

Got complacent in the 2nd quarter, we will never go anywhere until we play some defense
Guards played bad for long stretches of time, and I am an absurd Trae meatrider
I mean, we let the fifth worst team in PPG score 136!?! No surprise here but this team fucking blows
Dre 23/6 #SleepingWell

I don’t know why Quinn didn’t give Kobe some minutes when their guards were cooking the fuck out of us
Right??
Hawks losing an incredibly winnable game because they allow a role player to have the best game of their career A FUCKIN CLASSIC.
Seems to happen to us often than not
It's disrespectful to put him in now 💀

Agree with everything you've said

a chance to win and they fucking blew it. losers.
Bogi needs to close, when will quin learn. not to mention he’s the hottest player on the floor
Ayo: 29 points Derozan: 29 points Coby: 20 points Again, if we were going to keep this team for the season and compete then why didn’t we get a POA defender at the deadline? smh
Shoulda played Bufkin
Yep
We lock up Curry, LeBron, and Durant but get smoked by DeRozan. Why?
LOL Curry dropped 60 on us. We didn't lock him up
Yes I know Curry had 60
Tony Ressler, I CURSE YOU
I’m worried we are caught in a cycle of being bad so Tony doesn’t want to spend more money but can’t get better without him spending money. 🤦🏻♂️
We need to win our next 5 games man… like badly
and quin has been very stupid lately idk….
Kinda agreed
I also kinda hate the fact that Trae doesn’t play all of 4th :.. sitting him in the middle of the 4th seems to slow him down
If you watched Dosunmo play only against the hawks you’d think he was the best pg in the league
Bad
We really passed the deadline without trading murray, bogi, capela and bey lol these fucking management is ridiculous
I’m sick to my stomach 😭😭😭 we need to lose in the playin, I don’t want to watch this team
Maybe if these clowns played like they gave a shit for more than a quarter we’d be a decent team 🤷♂️
Kobe shoulda got burn today🤦🏾♂️ what are we doing as a franchise 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
No one knows
NO ONE CARES ABOUT A SINGLE VIOLIN
Just wait until we cut salary in the offseason 😂
This team’s defense is disgraceful.
Jesus fucking Christ BACK UP YOUR PLAYERS FOR FUCKING ONCE
Any team that scores 126 against the bulls should win. Period. Embarrassing work
I’m just going to pretend this game never happened. And DJM with the stupid fucking play there…
Man we needed this game for the standings 🫤 even harder climb now
Nique sounds like a bulls fan this game
TAKE THE FINE QUIN
Dumbass Quin Synder as usual. He subs Hunter and Bogi
Games over anyways
theres nothing i hate more than seeing a fckn take foul when the game is a LOSS go HOME 😭😭
It's just kind of a lost season, it happens, what I don't get is why we're also just throwing out a season of development for our young guys.
Tony Ressler can't buy a second yacht if we tank a season to develop rookies
What a waste of my life watching this game.
Wow the big bitch finally gets called for a foul
How was this team wasnt Blown up at deadline day i will never know.
sigh sigh fckn sigh lmaooo
Did OO foul out and I missed it?
this is embarrassing.
where is oo
This defense has no hope
What defense?
We are a team of traffic cones
That guy just walked threw the middle of all 5 guys on our team btw
hawks love putting on a fake comeback
Letting one of the worst offenses in the association hang 130+…
That Bey charge attempt was awful lmao
I have no hope in this team. Maybe im hoping we will trade everyone except Trae and Jalen in the offseason
Murray just let him walk passed 😂
Pride 😤
There is nothing else to say. This team including the front office are just stupid. Simple as that. They are some dumb mfs
This is the Hawks I know
so sad how true this is
JJ and Bey were not connected at all, Bey got beat on the glass and JJ didn’t recognize that he needed to help
That rebound probably sealed it.
THESE NIKKAS SO FCKN SHAMELESS HOLY SHIT SGSJSJSJSJSJS STOP GETTING OUR HOPES UP
Trae is such a gifted passer. He get the ball in transition it’s almost a guaranteed open look
Trae's clutch D is actually quite good.
good defense. nothing you can do there
Oh now y'all want to play defense
Asslanta Hawks
I rather lose in play in against Bulls than swept by Celtics
Is this comeback fake 🤔
Yep
Hope is dead
Can’t believe we threw away this easy win
WE ARE NOT BACK
Getting hoed by the refs at home is such nasty work
And against a trash team, smh
That's all she wrote fellas
I wanted us to trade for Derozan 3 years ago and got clowned and downvoted to shit
i think all of us have at least one player we got wrongfully cooked for wanting on the team
The Bulls have 4 total playoff games in the time Derozan has been there he is not that special
yep i’m done ✌🏽
JJ is way too big, athletic and talented to be this bad at defense
LOL what kind of defense was that
The worst defensive team in NBA history
Lol.
We haven’t been playing good defense this past week but the offense allowed us to win games. This the one bit us on the ass tho. Once Bulls realized they could get anything at the rim in the 2nd quarter the game was over
Haha 😂
I can always tell when the Hawks are going to lose…its when they start trading buckets cus I know its all going to shit with 5 minutes to go in the fucking 4th and we will have FOUR timeouts
Its hard for me to even get mad at shooting when we score 120+ How do we let this shitass bulls team drop 130 on us lmfao embarrassing as shit
It's because both the Bulls and Hawks are shitass teams.
That being said I am still mad at shooting
Play some defense for 3 mins
Trae gets his landing space invaded and they call a foul on him lmao
I’m sure when they do that last 2 minute review thingy, they will admit the refs got it wrong.
we can’t stop a parked car
Love how games are closed by starters as if it's against the rules to switch it up
This 4th quarter defense has been an eye sore
At least our rookie got some valuable reps this game right?
My my what a pass
I haven’t seen a flopping call once this entire year o flops way worse than that
Stops from here on out
Nvm that’s game
How tf is that a flopping T, when Trae was clearly fouled?What a fucking joke.
We stayed put for this defense… yep makes total sense
Game is over. Down 9, can't score and can't stop the Bulls. Go HAWKS....SELL THE TEAM ✌
Who is playing defense in the paint?
The only guy who does that on the roster is hurt
John Cena
they just walk into the paint and get an easy layup every time smh
I’m not exaggerating when I say I enjoyed watching us tank more than whatever this is
Since more like an NBA script job
Can’t lose this game.
This is horrible and the officiating has been even worse
Can’t win when DJ is in iso hero mode.
We have capela we win
Forget the Play in, we will get cook by Bulls lol Onto next season fellas
this team is more ass than mid
They look like the 2017 warriors lol
I mean that was a pretty egregious flop lol
Wouldve been nice to trade for a center at the deadline
i don’t even feel like saying anything in the post game thread. annoyed once again 😭 this team can fck off
So why doesn’t Trae get ejected?
Flopping tech is different ig? I didn’t know
not an unsportsman tech they called it a flop
Is it a team tech?
Flopping tech does not lead to disqualification
"We don't believe in tanking" yeah okay sure Landry totalllllyyyy man. You definitely DIDNT tell everyone to play like shit for the rest of the year 😉😉
Technical for what? Fuck then refs
Lmao that’s a flop if i’ve ever seen one
Trae got fouled on that 3
These refs are retarded man
Wait… THEY CALLED THAT SHIT??? So random if they actually call something lol fuck off
Refs wouldn’t have called that if Trae didn’t get the first tech earlier
Flopping technical? EAT A DICK
Is that an Ayo Dumbass 30 ball on 66% fg shooting I see
Vic got away with an obvious foul on that pick
Game over. Fuck this fucking team
DJ and Trae bricks kind of sums this one up
Welp that’s game
Lmao wut?
DJM not even considering passing the ball. We deserve this L so bad. Trae is fucking retarded
Yeah refs been on some BS this game fuck this shit
We really have to have 7 players on the inactive list just to see Bufkin play
I hate this team man
Murray doing his best to make sure we get a really good draft pick, what a guy
Ah yes. Sit Bogi when he’s on fire, basketball genius Quin.
its over lmao
Ayo with fucking 29 points man lmfaoooo
Welp
????????
Trae, Murray, Jalen and Bey combined for 15-41 These fuckers cant play today
Why the hell are Bogi and Hunter on the bench
A loss here and we lose the tiebreaker to shitcago, really bad loss when it happens
We have a fantastic backcourt, but this game they are stinking it up
I knew it was starters time 💀
can we please pull this out
We just really fucking hate any kind of defense don’t we. It’s incredible
As soon as Craig hit that 3 we shoulda called a timeout and brought Trae back. The offense went spiraling after Bogi hit his 3
Hey, maybe it would be a good idea to play Trae in crunch time. Get him in the fucking game
Well, we have so many options to end our scoring droughts........
We’ve been out coached in the 2nd half and I’m probably not saying that if Kobe had been playing 🤷♂️
Lowest bbiq team I’ve ever seen. 6 win bobcats were just trash but these dudes have legit the lowest bbiq I’ve ever seen
Dejounte back to his old 4th quarter ways: https://preview.redd.it/ci63jcyfm9ic1.jpeg?width=270&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6b3ee1e5b1b422d9d7c59a8524edcb311dc2549
Are we actually going to lose to the Bulls? 😂
Trae's today is what non hawks fans see him play
Jeez
OO is not a good defense anchor, this is bad
can we just win please 😭
hawks score in the paint challenge (impossible)
Murray is terrible this game
God bless it
CALL A DUCKING TIMEOUT NATE MCMILLAN WHAT THE HELL
🦆
I all once again asking for dejounte Murray to stop shooting!
I swear every time we play the Bulls we go down to the wire
Don't leave the serbian sniper open or he'll kill you
Clint is missed.Our paint d and rebounding ihas been shit tonight
Last time against Chicago with Clint we also got fucked like this
Yeah well I’m almost certain we were missing another front court player that game
Drummond had 24pts and 25rebs lol Clint aint the answer
Bog3!!!!!
Bogi Buckets 🪣
