UCONN in the NBA - 2023/24 Season

[superjohn]

39 point, 0 turnovers, and all the clutch shots in Dame's Milwaukee debut.

NBA created a problem for themselves with the rule changes. So many challenges and the marginal contact thing makes no sense.

Jordan Hawkins coming out in game 2 of his career on fire

They didn't get him a shot in his shift in the 4th unfortunately.

Whoa. I assume this is partially back to back rest related, but it's great news.

Hawkins has 8 points and 3 rebounds at the half. He’s out rebounding Zion Williamson, who has 1.

 

[HU5KIES]

Hawk is leading the team in minutes at halftime

 

[REB1094]

Hawkins really has some confidence. Under 1 minute in the first half, 21 seconds on the shot clock, and he launches a three no hesitation with a guy running at him

Money.

Pelicans seem very poorly coached.

 

[auror]

But the coach just went to bat for Hawkins and got a T after Curry big leagued him (uncalled foul where Curry tripped him and then acted like he just made some move or something to put him down).

 

[auror]

Wow the refs are jobbing the Pelicans.

 

[caw]

Pelicans seem very poorly coached.

They have a lot of bad tendencies on that team. I'm not sure it's just the coach.

[That Guy]

I'm in no way criticizing him for leaving and it was probably the right choice for his career, but it really stinks knowing that Andre could be back and helping us repeat, but instead he'll be getting less than 10 MPG for the stacked Bucks probably the whole season.

 

[LIuconn]

For a guy whose game is predicated on his athleticism he made the right choice. 2nd round pick, a 4 year 8 mil deal, and gets to learn from great players for a year or two. 100% had to go

Hawkins is doing his job really well right now. Pelicans have a lot of injuries to key guys so this is his time to prove he belongs

Averaging 9 points on 45/40 shooting splits through 3 games, including 14 last night in his first start (nobody was expecting them to win missing 3 starters)

Keep playing like this and he’ll force the staff to find him minutes even after everyone is back
