Hit the Wolves Magic game tonight.

Amway good to see a game in?

 

[superblytrife]

It’s time to fully embrace the tank. This **** was over before it started w/ the hellacious off-season Charlotte had. Damn.

 

[QU!K]

Good win from the Raptors missing a lot of players.

Ant got a dunk with Rudy on the floor

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

SENGUN. 4 BLOCKS

Hawks played bad today but so far this season they’ve actually played decent defense much better than last season

Oh.

Didn’t really see any defensive potential at all other than Murray.

Guess just a bad night against a depleted team.

 

[703 hwy]

I’m washed. Is this “drip”?

 

[Chopper]

Amway good to see a game in?

Yeah I always enjoy it. Better than Target Center that’s for sure! Ant balled. Suggs balled. Bol Bol actually was great to watch. Too lose with the ball but a real talent.

 

[elpablo21]

Said it in the other thread but Shai really transformed into Travis

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Hawks are #10 in defense

Far as Playoff defense, if Okongwu can be something that can also increase their ceiling on that end

 

[703 hwy]

What is this uniform the Suns are wearing??

Murray speaks from himself but Capela is still a very good defensive player and he’s been great on defense this season. Okongwu and hunter been good collins been solid and the other guys have at least had active hands so far this season. They haven’t been playing like a bottom 5 defense so far this season like last. More middle of the road but that’s still a big improvement since the team was one of the worst last year. Yes bad night against a depleted but still great team it happens

 

[QU!K]

Is this gonna be the 60 pt Klay Thompson revenge game?

Good teams they've played have scored 126, 125, 121, 139, 123 against them.

They are getting washed come playoff time.

 

[D StaXX]

Damn. Klay really washed.

 

[703 hwy]

Against the East fully healthy teams the Hawks might get 1 win come playoff time.

 

[addict4sneakers]

SGA better than Ice Tray but I know THEY don't want to hear that.

He’s better than a lot our favorite players, I’m ready to have the conversation when everyone else is

What is this uniform the Suns are wearing??

Homage to the Native American community, you heathen

Just mentioning that there is some potential for defensive improvement outside of Murray and they're at least better than last season

 

[Armada]

I’m more worried about this teams inability to hit 3s than the defense right now. Makes me wish Huetuer was still on this team. Should’ve been still on the team man wasn’t traded for any real basketball reasons he was traded to save a billionaire money cause he was too cheap to pay just going into the luxury tax. That’s annoying as hell.

 

[B Sox]

Yes, that is fair. Not going to be nearly good enough though. Especially when playoffs roll around and defense is premium.

Good teams are still going to pile on the points against them with ease.

Just pointing out that #10 defense ranking you gave doesn't really tell much. They've been able to get fat against a bunch of the league's basement dwellers and the Bucks without both Jrue and Middleton.

 

[elpablo21]

Klay might really put up 40 shots

 

[ace]

Oh wow we got destroyed tonight. Glad I didn’t pull up for this one.
