Hawks (4-7) at Celtics (9-2) Game #12 11/12/24

Haha. Oh my goodness, that court is awful!

[bello_man09]

strong take by TJ...

[jpotter33]

Our defense is just poo poo. If anything is a championship hangover this year, it's our defense where we only decide to play hard defensively when we absolutely need to - like the second half of the Bucks game. We seem content with outscoring other teams most of the time this year.

Hopefully that's just an early season issue and something we can work through, particularly once Zinger gets back.

Esp. off the dribble. Defense is gross.

Paint defense is non existent

Why do they want these bright courts?

The Pistons one is as blue as the Celtics one is green.

[celticinorlando]

Letting a bad team hang around. Seems to be an issue lately.

[jpotter33]

Wonder what the rationale for a full JT/JB first quarter is.

Philly's looks like they are playing in a lake

[Who]

I like the Hawks 2nd unit. Two small mobile bigs and three wing sized players. No small guards. No slow bigs.

G: D Daniels
G: Garrison Matthews
F: Jalen Johnson
F: Larry Nance
C: Okongwu

Jalen Johnson & Dyson Daniels as ball-handlers.

They're not repeating if they don't stop settling for.bad 3's.

They've not been enjoyable to watch lately.

Oh, so they got a special leather ball they are pushing as well. Right. A normal Wilson ball with the bracket on two sides of it. Why not. Who wouldn't want that gimmicky ball?

I am more concerned about the defense

Yep. I have to think that garbage on the ball is giving players some issues.
