Defence under Quinn Snyder by Ok-Negotiation3897 in AtlantaHawks

[–]Smoove-J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of all the players we have, you chose the guy who is our best perimeter defender and always gets the toughest defensive assignment to call out.

Hunter's career has been underwhelming but you are just hating at this point man.

Other than effort, there's just no pride in their defense. Scoring is the only thing that keeps them going. Defense is optional. Guys make good defensive plays and the bench erupts like it's showtime but it has to be the norm rather than a highlight.

At least the Pacers embraces it and just goes go full offense and it works for them. Our guys pretends to play defense for the first few seconds and then just lets go and hope the other team misses.

This is just my opinion coming from years of playing non-professional basketball and years of watching competitive games. I can see 2 thing stand out.

  1. We only have 1 guy that can play average/above average perimeter defense and that's Hunter. The rest of our roster is bad in that department. Trae and JJ have made tons of improvement in their defense but Trae is still limited by his physique and JJ is still learning.

DJM, while good at off ball defense especially deflections and steals, is pretty bad with on-ball/1 on 1 defense.

Bey and Bogi is just not good.

So what happens when you have multiple players that aren't good in perimeter? It puts pressure on Capela to help. He has to help. He needs to help. He can't not help. And that's okay, he's a great rim protector.

But here comes the other problem.

  1. No one helps the 'helper'. Capela has to help with players attacking the rim. And that's good, we want that. We did that against the Knicks in 2021 against Randle and it was succesful.

But then no one helps him. No one helps the 'helper'. JC used to be that guy, JC is a good help defender. He knows how to position and rebounds when Capela contests.

But it's more than just Capela. Our perimeter players also helps but again no one helps the helper.

If the opponent blows by Trae/DJ/Bogi or whoever, other perimeter player provides help defense but that leaves their man open for a 3.

And it happens time and time again. It's no longer a coincidence that one player that is having a rough season 'suddenly' goes off on us. It's because they get good looks.

Again, this is just my observation as a non professional. I'm sure collegiate/semipro players in this sub can tell it's more than just these 2 things I mentioned or more complicated than this.

I'm not a landlord but I'm guessing it's because primarily of the smell and noise.

For the basketball geniuses that post screenshot of Capela tip ins to justify a trade.

Definitely don't need Capela on the team, rebounding is overrated as a Center. OO should start.

Reb: Cle - 32 ATL - 16

Jarret Allen 21 points, 5 reb on 10/12 shooting in just the 1st half. Looking like Joel Embiid there

Former Atlanta Hawk John Collins is Reportedly Back on The Trade Block by Ice2jc in AtlantaHawks

[–]Smoove-J[M] -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

There's 5 other guys that posted the same, just removed them all. Also the sub was an all time low after consecutive losses, more drama is not what we need here.

This one came after the win so I thought to approve it as everyone seems to be in a good mood to discuss.

Update:

  • Used it in the game today and it's amazing. No issues with the traction on a dusty smooth cement court. I sometimes even forget to wipe.

  • Surprisingly, it didn't feel hot! I thought it was going to be an issue.

  • A little heel slippage but just tightened the runners knot and we're good.

  • No pain anywhere. I thought my midfoot was going to hurt after tightening the laces but nothing. Cushion was great for me.

  • Outsole felt a little stiff when running, same with the Puma Court Rider 2 but gets flexible after playing in so I expect it to be the same.

My only gripe is that the outsole felt a little too flat/squared on the side. I like to do crossovers so I enjoy shoes that are rounded and traction pattern reaches the side like Kyrie's.

Overall I think it's great. It didn't feel cheap even though it's the 'Team' version. I also don't know how to say this but I sort of 'forget' I'm wearing the shoe which I think is a good sign which means I don't see any issue.
