Looks like CBS is out of answers.

He's just doing the same thing over and over and over....

[Ogaju]

I kinda figured Smart was underpaid.....it is beyond dispute now.

Nesmith? Pritchard?  Rob Williams?  Tacko?

[Goldstar88]

BRAD, put Waters on Young!!! Please. Why won't he try it? Teague is not the answer.

Because Waters isn't a good defender and is literally completely unproven. Why would you combat Trae Young with somebody who is shorter than him lol? He's already eating against much better defenders

Waters is a very good defender who is quick with good hands. WAY better than Teague.

Waters named first-team All-SEC, Defensive Player of the Year.

Not this again....

Yup. It maybe the only use for Waters. Teague is not doing the job. Would it hurt to try it? Would it hurt to try something?

Maybe Brad is just saving him for the playoffs.

3-21 from behind the arc. Embarassing.

Wow. WOW. I just checked in and I did NOT expect this. Losing? Sure. But not by 27. To the Hawks. This is downright embarrassing.

[Rhyso]

Why have we gone 7 deep on the bench in the 3rd quater with no injuries? How can the bench form any consistency with that?

[jpotter33]

My God, Tatum, how many threes and long, difficult pull-up shots do you have to brick before you stop taking those bad shots??

[Ogaju]

Time for a players only meeting!!!!

Or maybe to be cut? Because quite frankly he's lucky he's even on the roster.

3-22

Why play the starters any more?

3-22

Tatum needs to get up a few more....

[Phantom255x]

I mean it's not the only reason. But C's shooting 3-22 from behind the arc. Hawks 18-31. Huge difference.

Good point. If I'm Brad, I send a message by benching the starters and playing the deep bench the rest of the way. If they're gonna play like a G-League team anyway, may as well put a G-League team on the floor.
