I couldn’t watch the 2nd half, but weird game if you just look at final stats. Steelers had slightly more yards, ToP the same, and one more TO. AZ just bunched their good plays better.

I’d go CBS - like the simple design, no distractions.

The timeout display is a key factor - -don’t like TNF.

Where is the game clock on NBC?

and they only scored 2 points in almost 4 minutes? that’s what I mean.

Could be right, but the question is where will be in February. Quin still has coached like 1/2 season total - there will be a learning curve - just have to hope defense will level up to be at least average. But a team implementing new philosophies of a new coach is going to fell the hit more when they lose a key player on top of it all. A more established team can adjust better - Hawks are still learning even when all healthy. Hope JJ comes back sooner than later.

On vacation so missed this game, but am I reading the game log right - in the last 3:54 each teams scored 2 points? And Cavs still had starters in trying to run up the score?

Wizzard stream still showing ads explain how the in-season tourney works when they’re already 0-4

When did the word “separation” become some kind of strategic term? Was it invented by the same guy who came up with “stops”?

Andre Drummond would be a nice target for the Hawks if the Bulls sell - his per minute stats are impressive - still a rebounding monster.

That makes some sense, but I still want the person who knows the strategy originating the play call. If Faulkner has set the strategy to be more TE usage, and wants a play to a TE in the middle of the field, he should just tell Sullivan that and let him find the name of that play. I don’t like the idea of someone calling plays who was not part of setting the overall offensive strategy if that’s what is happening. Then again, I really don’t know how well a RB coach skillset correlates with an OC skillset. OC needs to see the bigger picture more than a position coach does , but QB position coach could be more related to OC job.

Dominique on opponents defense: “terrible, leaving him open, what’s you doing? oh my they give up a lot of open looks, you can get what you want, etc, etc, etc.”

Dominique on Hawks defense:

Great news.

Might even see a 20 yard pass completion this week.

Game 12 and 13 can’t be “huge”.

warriors playing without Curry, now Green and Klay both ejected in first 2 minutes

does the new court make the Hawks think the baseline is now in front of the basket? pistons just strolling along the baseline for easy dunks.

even the halftime guys don’t mention a thing about the Hawks needing better defense - I guess they think there is no hope - just need the offense to keep going

Trae is going to need time to adjust to Quin’s game plan. He’s been ultra-ball dominant PG since he was 13, so he’s not going to switch styles over a few games and be good to go. It was just a couple years ago when the Hawks were playing games where the objective was to inbound to Trae and never have him give up the ball unless he shot it or went for an assist. That type of play was very effective and it really simple for Trae to execute. Now he’s trying to do all this off-ball stuff and it’s not an easy transition. Quins only coached like 32-33 games - got to give it all more time to come together.

damn, Bruno played a minute - didn’t even notice!

Orlando coach and analysts all saying it was the Magic’s 10 missed free throws was the reason for the loss - but they hit 25/35 for 71% - the team average is 73%. Why do people think that because they are called “free” throws that the % make should be 100% and not be like any other type of shot?

This game was like all the power of the 1-under Hawks from last year in one game
