    hell no.. not Simmons.. Sengun does that little stuff that makes everyone better..

    a pick, a move to the basket, a hockey pass.

    it just the small stuff that elevates the teams he plays on. feels like he had 20 pts 17 rebounds. CP3 has those type games it looks like he does everything but he only had 10 pts.

    Not sure you understand what the word "tanking" means tbh. If we were tanking we wouldn't be fighting our asses off to win games like this. Tanking is deliberately losing games like a bunch of b****es, we're not remotely doing that. Or you can just admit you don't watch the games and are mostly a bandwagon tank tool I guess.

    Right. Once Gordon is moved, the losses will pile up.

    This team is turning into a FOURTH Quarter team..and that is scary for the rest of the league. :) Love it.

    Warriors are a FOURTH Quarter team....hmmmm.

    Simmons does this too. He just can't shoot.

    No Worrell was a homer he wasnt an ******* about it though. They were straight up talking **** and downing the Rockets at the beginning of the game. Never compare the legend that is Bill Worrell to these Hawks asshats lol

    Bobby is a troll, has been in most forums he's in. I think this is a good environment for Jalen to come back too, he can take a back seat to Gordon so he can focus on the little things

    He's just inconsistent and he lacks solid pass vision those two things really has hindered his career just as much as injuries.

    Garry Bird was the highest rebounder with 8?
    but as a team they had 56, out rebounding the Hawks. Where did the rebounds come from, it felt like these teams tonight did not miss. It was that type of game.

    Gordon is having a lights out shooting year.. Don't forget he's the perfect defender against Donovan Mitchell who he shut down 2 playoffs in a row. Western Conference contenders should gun hard for him..

    Simmons refuses to shoot so everyone knows he won't. Sengun knows he has to shoot to at least let the defender know he is capable..

    You missed one hell of a good one. Rockets defense put the screws on Atlanta, our guys scored 44 in the 4th, DJ and Nwaba were unreal, and Sengun actually finished the game. Wood was on the bench, believe it or not.

    For sure. Jalen got thrown into some random environment. Slow down, game comes to you… he is def motivated now. Some ppl need to see it. He has a lot to work on but the raw skills are insane and we can judge him more next October. I’m hoping he lives and dies in the gym. Studies the game.

    we need a coach that lights him up.

    They've been like that for awhile. They talked **** every time Harden lit them up.

    That one dude in the crowd with the Red Rockets sweater was literally yawning mid game.

    At the end of the game he was one of the last ones still there, still standing, smile on his face.
