Dallas' starting 8 did a great job of taking the lead before the half.

I actually like Edey, but this immediately gave me DeJa'Vu of the Shabazz Napier to Miami debacle.

He lives to hate on Trae.

And where is @Bonkers?

 

Trae goes down, and he falls off the Earth.

At least he's not here constantly posting about a player that's not even playing.

Yeah, that kinda came out of nowhere.  Think it happened when Quin decided to put the end of the bench into the game... maybe Bogi thought he was being benched without realizing Chicago was waving the white flag? 

Either way, it's not professional. If that was another player on the Hawks' roster, we'd never hear the end of it.

DJM 17pts on 17 shots and Bogi 20 pts on 7 shots.  I don't know if Quin is forcing Murray to shoot regardless of his efficiency or he shoots just because he can lol

DJ has always been a scoring guard. He's been pretty efficient this season overall, but I think he's doing whatever it takes to win right now with Trae out. He has to score with this group. Thee 44 shots against the Celtics was crazy, but he did what he had to do to win the game. 

This is a REALLY good win. They've dropped games like these all season.

He bought in on defense and not dominating possessions as much, but he's still trash at playing offball. He has a habit of standing still at the top of the key and he doesn't take shots in rhythm. Hunter moves better then him now and both were bad early on.

He was a lot further along than DJ or Hunter before he got hurt. DJ openly complained about the coaching and was rumored to be open to getting moved during the trade deadline. Trae still has a ways to go as far as playing off the ball, but he was trying on both ends from the start. DJ didn't really "buy in" until after the trade deadline and Hunter hit his stride after his knee injury.

DJ's handle continues to baffle me. 

Wes has been very affective putting the ball on the floor. I like it.

He's unconscious.  Don't wake em. 

The change started before he went down.

He misses Trae. He hasn't stopped talking about him since he went down. Don't worry, Trae will be back to save the day in a week or two.

I'm expecting a roster update any day now. 

JJ fading away from the basket too much. Just dunk it or make them foul you.

Does Kobe get in the game tonight? (not only in a blowout).

Kobe > Forrest.

I'm a little concerned Quin is playing guys waaaay too many minutes during games that are out of reach. The Hawks can't afford to lose Bogi or DJM this late in the season.

I'm mad ....

Yeah, this was definitely a wasted opportunity, but they built up enough currency with me this week to punt a game. 

Hindsight is 20/20, but I probably would've held Murray out of this one since the Chicago game is a must win if they have their eye on the 9th spot.

Good effort by the Hawks tonight. Can't really be mad at it. I still feel they dug themselves into a hole with their poor shot selection in the first half.

Hunter's handle. SMH!

It aint over!!!!!! Love the fight in these guys!!!!! I feel like Bruno sparked that run.

Just now, NBASupes said:

Did Bruno just put the team on his back?

Yes he did. He changed the game with his physicality. He WILL be needed in the postseason.

Get tough down there Bruno!!!!

Still fighting ...all I can ask. 

The Bucks don't look unbeatable at all. The Hawks can get this game if they run the offense and keep defending. Just get it to 10 or below before the 4th quarter.

Still chucking in the third. SMH! This game is winnable if they could get better looks.

If the Hawks can settle down on offense they can erase this lead in the second half. The shot selection in the first half left a lot to be desired.

Thus offense is.....something. 

No flow. No rhythm.  Lots of chucking though. LOL

Fixed.
