Hawkins Starting

The shot will fall--NBA is a huge transition for even the best shooters.

The rebounding and assists have me more excited than anything. Means he's understanding the pace of the game.

I thought he looked really good in the first half. He was active defensively too.
 
I’m happy they’re giving him the chance so quickly. It definitely shows they believe in him and are ready to give him an extended look.

And I’ll put emphasis on “extended.” This isn’t the Prem or some other high level European soccer league, where there are so few games and so many good players competing for so few minutes that 1-2 bad games when given an opportunity is enough to tank your long-term standing in the manager’s eyes.

He’s got 82 games; they’re not all going to be tremendous, or even good (as I’d characterize his last one). Especially when playing on a team that looks like it has taken a step or two back so far. I’m elated to see he’s already got the backing of the Pels’ staff, and I look forward to seeing him being a key piece of righting that ship.

Agreed, he's doing good things out there but he has to seize this opportunity to make open shots. When all those other rotation guys come back the coaches need to know he can be relied upon to make his open looks off the bench. 2-12 is rough.
 
Hell of a turnaround, Hawk still struggling with his shot tho

He is, the majority of these shots are in the flow of the offense he's just not out there gunning

Once you’re 3-17, I don’t care if they’re guarding you from mars, stop shooting.
 
2/13 from 3 is hilarious.

Offense looked crisper when he came back in the game and Zion sat this last shift, though. He's out there moving. And he's one of the 3 guys on the team with a big positive +/-.
 
No way Zion can stay injury free playing at that weight. He is a terrific player but he has to be pushing 300llbs. He is huge.
 
Hawkins getting cooked on defense a few times. Welcome to the league!

+18 despite being 4/17 from the field is something else. He's doing most everything right tonight outside of hitting shots. He is colder than cold right now.

Could be worse I guess. The Pacers as a team were 5-37 tonight from three. :eek:
 
Hawkins sits and Pelicans make a run and cut the lead from 11 to 3 (edit now 1). Hawk back in.
 
Hawk got cooked by Jalen Williams in that key spot. They should probably go offense/defense with him right now.
 
Zion just was no where to be found getting back down court in transition because he was arguing with the ref in a game they were up 2. Then just threw up a couple terrible drive/prayers. He's killing the team.

He's been wide open, he's moved the ball really well and gotten himself open the entire night. He's just bricking them. It stinks he was so off shooting because it should've been a 25 point night for him.

Really hope this doesn't go to overtime, it's awful basketball.
 
Tied for team lead in minutes in a win - way to go Hawk! That’s a bad loss for the Thunder though … had a 22pt lead at home. Holmgren, Giddey, SGA … yikes.
