    it is pre-season....................it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Only Americans care about Pre-season win-loss in a pre-season game. Atlanta was not at full strength, as I said. Both teams just want to get a good hit out and run in the legs before opening night. That is what matters.

    I don't disagree, we were much more undermanned tonight, but I do think those two are lowkey just as (if not more) important than Trae Young to the Hawks' roster. If I could get two players from their roster for free, it would be them.

    The Hawks' starters were alright. Our bench equalled their bench 24-24. Our starters played more minutes than their starters. We had 4 players, 31 minutes or over, and they had 0

    FOR THE THIRD TIME. If they are THAT important that you cant beat 3rd stringers without them youre cooked.

    Yeah...? They're cooked, I don't have any problem with your assessment

    Those two are still good players though, and I think if they were on the court the Hawks probably do win tonight against our Scrub Squad, for whatever that's worth.

    Our bench should be great this year. Providing we don't get any more injuries, there really is no excuse for Ime not to show better rotations this season.

    Unfortunately, I missed the game to attend an event.

    Just to be clear, did Reed and the Rockets scrubs actually beat the Hawks starters? That is wild.

    What did we learn?

    scrubs is such an ugly word to describe NBA players who can play

    Third stringers lol. Reed Shepherd and Okogie are third-stringers, so they won't get much time this year. Isaiah Crawford, Kevon Harris and Matthews were the only players who probably won't get much game time this season that played.

    That tracks with your typical basketball takes.

    Your dumb ass pointed out the only 2 non third stringers out of 8 players. Please stop being a dummy. Just be a man say you said something stupid and move on. I tend not to have patience when guys are being idiots on this forum. You know exactly what I meant when I said what I said.

    Udoka must be smiling at tonight's game- every non-scoring important stats filled from Steals, Rebound and Assists. Almost every player is capable of a triple-double in this game

    Kevin is awful. A G League tryhard. Maybe he’s a good hang in the locker room?

    Trading Tari and fillers for the old man Holiday would be a huge long term mistake

    Holy **** I missed this game and Reed has a career game looks like a superstar.

    Also I thought this was gonna be a dress rehearsal Udoka got out the 3rd team and they pounded the new look Hawks to the ground?

    LOL
