    The Hawks are a veteran team w/ that backcourt plus a pretty decent frontline. Tough open.

    I'd be looking at the OVER in most of our games... no matter what the TOTAL is each night.

    No matter win or lose, basketball games are back.

    It means we finally can watch our young guys playing every 2 days. So excited!

    Um yea, lock up Green like he has when he's the primary defender

    4/14 game 1

    3/16 game 2

    3/9 game 3

    That 30 pt game, Murray barely guarded him, was still like 2/7 when Murray was primary defender

    So many things will play out this season. First real hopes since Harden left. These young men are going to shock a lot of people this year.

    I’m so excited to see our backcourt measure up against other backcourts

    I’ll give Jabari the season to adjust but I wanna see our backcourt go toe to toe with guys like Trey/Murray

    I feel like KPJ and Green will be able to handle Trae on offense. I'm more worried about Murray. I can see him frustrate Green if he presses up on his dribble.


    Obviously a big test for the defense of our young backcourt. Not expecting much as Trae and Murray have significantly more experience under their belt.

    But I don't think it's crazy for us to say that our backcourt might have a higher ceiling than their backcourt when our guys reach their prime. Their average height his higher and they are more explosive. Trae is the most skilled of the group but with experience comes added skill so that skill gap can close when KPJ and Green are over 24 and have 4+ years under their belt.

    If i were in sengun shoes i would deny to sub in to the game like kpj did last year to make a statement about hypocrisy of coaching staff but luckily for staff sengun is not me and a pro. But i realised that sengun has minimal margin of error in this rockets adventure of him . As a giresunian my priorty is alperen no one on this team is more important for me so you can say i am a SoF .
