Man, just a depressing start to the season. We were without Castle due to concussion, and lost to Miami 114-107. We've been hanging in there, but 0-3. Schedule obviously doesn't help!

Very solid win against the Raptors. We're still not shooting well but at least our defense was pretty good. The amount of rim protection in that lineup is unreal, 4 guys who are solid shot blockers at their position is nice to have.
Raptors are young though and a team we should beat. Let's see how we fare against top tier competition.

102-120 loss @MEM

well i completely forgot Memphis replaced Culver with a certified Rocket killer in Frank N. He, Dozier, Mobley, and the rookie Castaneda gave us problems, and none of our main guys really stepped up with an above average night. Juzang really can't play with our starting unit, just too much of a ball stopper if he isn't flaming hot from 3, so shelving that idea when Cam comes back next game. Shoutout to Brady Manek on a solid debut though.

Juzang: 16pts
ZDK: 15pts, 5-10 FG, 3-8 3P
Brown: 12pts, 4reb, 4blk, 5-9 FG
Mitchell: 12pts, 6reb, 4-9 FG, 4-4 FT
Manek: 9pts, 4reb, 2stl, 3-5 FG, 3-4 3P (Rockets debut)
Hayes: 6pts, 12reb, 3ast, 4blk, 3-4 FG
Hagans: 6pts, 4reb, 13ast

Smashed OKC in the complete opposite of last game against Houston. Still not sure how we’ll do in close games. Only got 1 steal, which is unusual but the W is what matters

[hardenwithnod]

lol 3 injuries already, I hate this engine.

[Stockton12]

No games for us

[rh0xxy]

Loss our home opener against the SGA-less Nets. Yeah we are also without Simons but this loss was a disappointment. Good thing we still have our pick if this trends continues lol

[Ramcus]

We scrape by SacTown with a 1 point win. Don't know if I'm happy that we beat Sacramento even while they had a hot shooting night, or upset that we barely won by 1 point in a home outing. As for the players, Topic and J-Dub have started off the season shooting absolutely wild numbers, and I don't expect them to hold. But it's nice to see some positive production from our backcourt.

SAC v LAC | 112-113
Topic: 26/2/4 on 8-12 FG and 6-8 3FG
Williams: 22/5/4 w/ 3 stls on 9-15FG
Duren: 20/8 w/ 3 blks on 6-10 FG

[Flaming Homer]

1-1 sim for us.

The real test was game 1 in Milwaukee, and we failed that one badly.

Same picture as in our season opener, our starting lineup struggled. Even Naji had one of the few games where he could not connect from downtown and we had no answer for the Bucks top defense.
There is some work needed to make this Hawks iteration work.

ATL - MIL: 93 - 112

MIL
T. Brown: 26pts (11/20), 11ass, 6reb
M. Fitts: 26pt (9/17), 4reb, 2ass

ATL
R. Perry: 17pt (7/17), 21reb, 2stl
Q. Olivari: 19pt (8/11), 3reb, 2ass


Another road game right after in Denver and we looked a little better.
Of course the talent level is not even close to Milwaukee's. So not that much to learn here.

ATL - DEN: 116 - 106

DEN
Zion: 26pts (9/16), 12reb, 2blk
K. Bowman: 18pt (7/16), 10ass, 3reb

ATL
N. Marshall: 28pt (9/17), 4reb, 2blk
J. Alvarado: 12pt (3/10), 13ass, 5reb

We lose the second half 70-52 to go down by a point in Clipper-land.

Their starters were great with four of them having 19 points or more. We were well served by Togashi and Kofi but with the new additions, we're defintiely struggling to find the right mix and who to start/bench, etc, but I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Man we got smoked again. Hoping I can get my laptop working today and we can see if we can start to turn it around

[JMcBBall]

Another good performance against the T’Wolves. Ziga Samar filled in admirably at point guard for the injured J.D Davison. This was another strong overall performance offensively as a team. Sekou Doombouya is continuing his hot pre-season form with another 38 points performance on elite shooting percentages.

[GreenBear]

Phoenix – 77
Portland – 107

POR
GG – 29 pts (11-23 FG, 5-11 3PA), 13 reb, 3 ast
Terry – 19 pts (8-12 FG), 5 reb, 3 ast, 4 stocks
G-Will – 16 pts (7-12 FG), 8 reb, 3 blk

PHX
Miller – 15 pts (6-9 FG, 3-4 3PA)
Holmgren – 8 pts (3-9 FG, 2-6 FT), 10 reb, 4 stocks
Cunningham – 17 pts (5-20 FG, 6-6 FT), 6 reb, 5 ast, 3 stocks

Beat the Suns at home by 30. GG and Terry controlled the game.

First win of the season against a really tough Houston team. We are struggling to shoot a bit especially from three but hopefully we will pick it up

[blackice]

L vs. CHI

The interior play of CHI was simply too much for us to handle and the rebounding disparity in favour of the Bulls (+17) was the real reason we lost this one. Just a well played game by a team with playoff aspirations. Skylar Mays had 18/5/5 w/ 2 stls.

[mgtr81]

Fitts: 26 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block.
Bolden: 15 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block.
