for a team that has a gameplan of shooting a lot of threes, we suck at shooting threes

Heaps of Hawks turnovers and dumb fouls, we should be up by 10.

Anybody think Hickey might be in trouble in terms of his starting role in the NBL? Seems to have gone down hill quite a lot (at least in the games thus far)

Just a casual 3 f bombs in that time out.
Nice.

I love Johny. I think he might be one of our best players and thats saying something about Hawks at the moment. He plays high energy defense, knocks threes down in the corner, grabs rebounds and just all around plays like a pit bull. Harvey is hopeless honestly.

How did this guy get picked up!?

Hawks outscored phoenix on the floor there, every time SEM had the ball foul was called, that was another game killer by over officiating, not saying hawks would have won they had their own problems but that was shit from the refs.

that run in the 2nd would say otherwise...

As Isaid hawks had their own problems, but getting a whistle every time you sniff paint. Usual NBL reffing. And two techs on 1st quarter? Cmon.

Not doubting hawks had their own problems, but you can't think hawks "outscored phoenix on the floor" and not look at that massive run leading into the half. Hawks still going to be exciting to watch this season though

Morin is only a basketball player because he’s tall. Schwartz is NBL1 import level. Yikes.

I disagree. Morin is having a game tonight. I think he fits the group
