Spurs winning by 30 and holding their opponents under 100.

Just like old times

I just wanted them not to hit 100. Glad we could achieve that.

We might be 3-4 upgrades away from a Championship

That's way too many. Team is practically a contender already. They just need enough to get through OKC.

Indicator of how bad the Hawks’ offense is. Castle didn’t have to foul anybody.

 

[LeBowen]

He's getting swatted at the rim on fast breaks and can't get past defenders very well. If it was only him, we'd be in trouble, but he's getting covered by Castle and Harper. We can only hope he starts acting his contract.

He was acting his contract when we needed him.
Now he looks to be out of rythm because he's a high volume scorer and needs shots to get going. But instead he's deferring to the young guard.
Not an issue in blowouts, but as we've seen against the Knicks, he can get too cold and then it's too hard to get back into rythm.
Will be interesting to see how our guard dynamic develops.

A 0/1/1 night for sochan smh

His confidence is so shot. Really confirms my belief that he’s always been a fake tough guy and used his trash talking, Temu Rodman antics to overcompensate.

 

[PanameSpur]

If sochan can’t feast against 3rd stringers, there’s no hope for him.

He's always been spoon fed.

But I'm more stunned by how fragile he seems mentally, although there were a lot of signs...

 

[Exstatic]

The way I see it, Fox is deferring a lot. He is trying to get everyone involved first.

Im not concerned at all as he is bringing that swagger and confidence to the team.

Castle, as the least effective 3 point shooter of the three, should absolutely be on the ball a lot.

Are these draft picks in danger?

I seriously think these guys are contending right now. Heck, they're already competitive with OKC (though the upcoming home-and-home games against them will tell a lot in that regard).

You're not getting it. NOBODY'S IN DANGER!!!

we just need to replace Sochan with a real PF who can rebound, defend and hit an occasional 3 and the youngsters to continue their natural evolution

 

[ginobilized]

We are contending now, quite possibly. I believe 3-4 upgrades will happen before we win a Championship. Biyombo, J-Mac, Sochan are not Championship-level players.

 

[Felipe Saidel]

Fox is putting the teams need fírst.
But I agree he gets cold and kinda sloppy for that reason

 

[frenchfred]

The Hawks are playing the Bulls the next two games, the team just behind them.

 

[Davidicus]

Vic needed a game like this. Back to basics.

Vassell is evolving. Loved his passing.

We have a certain swagger as a team lately. From knowing how talented we are. Could see it on the sideline all game. This is awesome guys.

Hawks really stunk it up. I guess tired from Hornets? Confusing bc they played great sans Trae and it’s not like Bazingas was a focal point of their team. Major stinkage.

It’s honestly sad watching Sochan lately. It’s like he got Monstar’ed. He was legitimately so much better last couple seasons. I hope he finds his confidence soon.

It's actually nuts, dude doesn't even try his stupid turn around fades anymore.

 

[CGD]

Ooof Dyson Daniels is shooting 15% from 3 this season (Sochan at 28%).

 

[OK Computer]

We are contending now, quite possibly. I believe 3-4 upgrades will happen before we win a Championship. Biyombo, J-Mac, Sochan are not Championship-level players.

Bro, those are the 13th, 14th, 15th men. Championship teams aren’t so deep that they had to worry about having above average talent at the end of the bench.

Be so amazing if he gets the career record this year.

A big wing that can defend big wing and shoot 3
A legit 3rd center behind Korndog
