Title: Coleman Hawkins Social Media
Post by: Custard on February 19, 2024, 10:47:16 PM
Shit has been hilarious but can’t help thinking this could get sideways if he isn’t careful. Sleepers did an entire 14 minute segment on their show today about their back and forth with him, and knowing how he is on the court, I can easily see him doing something stupid. This team is DOA without him, and I have to wonder if the DIA will have to step in here.

I remember the days when players stayed off social media during the season.

I don't follow him, or any player, but hasn't he been seen texting at halftime or something in one game?
He is kind of a loose cannon out there at times. LOL.

Have to give him him credit- he is playing the best ball of his career.

He tweeted something at halftime in one game but can’t remember which one. The Sleepers guys thought it was hilarious. But this has been escalating lately and someone needs to rein it in before it becomes a bigger distraction that it already is.

This team is solid, but has a small margin for error.
Don't need Hawkins going all Hawkins in any game.
He has been playing two halves of BB the last few weeks and the results are impressive.
With no real PG we need him on the floor with his head in the game to make plays.

Hawkins has seemed to come back to earth in his own mind....the NBA prospects may have gotten to him a little imo. Came back thinking BMOC, and he was, but man he could have been so much more this year without the drama/headache actions all year, because the last 5-6 games he has been ballin. Kudos to CoHawk for reigning himself in with a little help from his friends I suspect.

I was watching the Maryland game with one of my kids and I yelled some type of praise towards Hawkins after a nice play.  My kid said I thought you didn't like him. I said I do now, after many years he's finally figured out how to play good basketball and his defense is awesome.

And to that point, there isn't anyone on this roster where I'm cringing or yelling WTF are you doing.

Last year there were multiple with Hawk as PG experiment, the crustache guy chucking terrible shots, etc

Most unlikable player ever.

Miss a shot complains he was fouled instead of getting back on defense

Throws a fit at free throw line because ref didn't give him ball fast enough

Go away

We'll be better off without him?

Definition of insanity - picture of CoHawk whining and throwing his hands up should be here

That's pretty funny.  Think he received any social media feedback after PSU?  Ummm, yes!

One is a good passer.
The other one isn't.

Getting off instagram and TikTok is the best thing that could have happened
