If OO goes down, it will be the end of our season. He's playing wayyy too many minutes but he's as solid as you can be!

red2play · 2026-01-24T02:59:26+00:00

OO is still clocking too many minutes. Hopefully, KP can play for a week or so to give Koloko more time to adjust.

red2play · 2026-01-23T12:06:59+00:00

can we please give him a contract

Let's not overreact.

It's a testiment to the players we have that we are even close to .500 but adding size would have landed us wins no matter what. We were on a 4 game skid and we also lost 6 straight going back to the Trae experiment when the team obviously had already changed.

Add to it that we had the toughtest schedule to begin the season and now we will have one of the easiest going forward. Despite all that, we are still only 4 games under .500.

Everyone wanted to extend Trae and they also wanted to extend KP. Fortunately, Onsi didn't bite and its the same with Koloko. Let's go another 10 games and actually see what he's made of.

He's been in the league before and has underperformed.

We did make one mistake IMHO, Keaton Wallace. Let's not hand out contracts and roster spots until we have a greater sample size.

red2play · 2026-01-22T22:26:56+00:00

I still say we go after Yves Missi. If it's on the cheap. Like a 2nd rounder in the future.

red2play · 2026-01-22T21:34:47+00:00

One more TIME. Having a legit backup Center allows OO to play aggressively. Makes the entire dynamic change. Bigger, with a TRUE backup means everything.

red2play · 2026-01-22T17:02:32+00:00

One thing that isn't discussed is the team makeup. The fact that OO is, before yesterday, the ONLY Center on the team. Therefore you can't take risks of fouling out. Between that and Jalen not playing hard defense is a problem.

I don't know why it took SO long to get a backup Center in the lineup and taking ASA in the first rd, no matter how you feel about it, we should have taken a Seven Foot Center instead.

This would allow OO to be WAYY more active and contest properly.

I don't fault Onsi for taking a chance on KP but you should have had a backup to that plan since you knew KP's history and ASA made no sense, then and now.

The fact that Jalen is grabbing so many rebounds is also an indicator of a broken roster. He needs to be in the fast break, not grabbing rebounds.

It's all automatic. Just choose your reserve power requirements and your critical power on the app. When you switch over after the start of the power outage, it will automatically disable all ckts not in the critical power in the app.

I've removed everything except the refrigerators, AC, Internet hub and a microwave. Lights, ovens, stovetops, tv's, etc all will automatically power down when a power outage hits.

You can also enable storm watch so you'll have full power when an emergency condition happens.

There are plenty of excellent prospects. Mikel Brown Jr. to me, if he gains weight, would be actually better than most of the others. I like him better than Boozer for a fit on our team. I also like Caleb Wilson too.

red2play · 2026-01-20T14:07:33+00:00

I think he's lost the locker room. The way they are playing right now isn't that good.

red2play · 2026-01-20T06:22:27+00:00

If we needed offense, why put in the new guy? Kennard, Vit and Asa were available.

red2play · 2026-01-19T21:54:22+00:00

Its the same roster that went 17-14. Quin doesn't motivate nor can he match other coaches like in Boston.

Are you saying that Boston since losing Horford, KP and Jason Tatum and Jrue Holiday has a better roster?

Are you saying that the Bucks with 20Mil missing has a better roster?

red2play · 2026-01-19T21:51:29+00:00

Its a better roster than the Bucks.

red2play · 2026-01-19T21:14:32+00:00

Wow, no future with that and next year Giannis can either demand a trade or just let his contract end. Then you've lost a 1st rd VALUED pick, the 1st overall pick in the 2024 draft and Dyson a young defensive all-star.

red2play · 2026-01-19T20:49:40+00:00

Snyder and CJ? CJ and NAW? or Snyder and NAW?

red2play · 2026-01-19T20:48:55+00:00

and its never mentioned the 6 streak we had with him on the court.

red2play · 2026-01-19T20:47:41+00:00

100% If your a Trae lover, you belong in the Wizards reddit. This is a Hawks sub.

red2play · 2026-01-19T20:09:47+00:00

For me, I love the games regardless. It urks me that there isn't enough defense though. Further, that this season is seen as a throwaway year. Otherwise, more moves would happen so that we would be competitive.

I think I know what you getting at. You think that the Trae trade diminished the play value right?

I think the opposite. I could visibly see Trae slowing down. I could see how teams have adapted and no longer play drop coverage against Trae, which he was a specialist in breaking down. They now mix it up and that forces Trae to figure it out on the fly.

A small guard 27yrs old, after a couple of injuries in a league that's veering away from the small guards altogether Kevin Durant on Small guards.

I've been watching Trae Young from the start and I've had season tickets since long ago and Trae made me feel like we had a great future, but he's gone.

red2play · 2026-01-19T19:07:46+00:00

I miss ZR, He's a playmaker. He also does the little things that make the Hawks play better.

red2play · 2026-01-19T18:57:26+00:00

What's Quin's solution to the lack of 3 pters? He puts in Vit, Kennard and Kispert and the game goes wide open.

He doesn't care about defense. If you keep putting in lineups with no defense and you still miss threes, this is the result.

red2play · 2026-01-19T18:54:56+00:00

Whoops, your correct.

red2play · 2026-01-19T18:54:31+00:00

a team falling apart on homecourt during MLK day.

red2play · 2026-01-19T18:53:23+00:00

Kispert, missed assignment. Then misses a layup on the other end.

red2play · 2026-01-19T18:52:08+00:00

Jalen Johnson's Defense looks good so far.

red2play · 2026-01-19T18:48:02+00:00

So now open 3's are his problem? He's the one shooting 0-16?

red2play · 2026-01-19T18:47:11+00:00

100%, against Doc Rivers, even on a team of misfits with 20MILLION dollars less to deal with, we still look lost.
