Amway good to see a game in?
 
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.

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

They are getting washed come playoff time.
Just mentioning that there is some potential for defensive improvement outside of Murray and they're at least better than last season
 
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.

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.
