Official Game Thread: Hawks - Pistons

[Atlantaholic]

Our best player had his worst game of the year, we were outrebounded by 20, and we couldn't make threes; the result? Double digit win againt hottest team in the east. Not bad for these one-trick pony Hawks.

Boy this was nerve racking. I never feel like we're going to lose a game anymore but until the end I never felt like we were in control at all. Some games are gonna be like this though and the D has to carry us.

Even though he was off today hearing Teague getting MVP chants from a sold out crowd was amazing

I'd much rather us getting a tough win carried by good D than by good shooting.

Espn segment on hawks was awesome. It would be crazy the day that being a hawks fan is considered cool!

These afternoon games are always weird.  Flukey game.  We'll be back to the Hawks we know vs. Indy.

Did enough to win or Detroit turned it over too much.

The Hawks did have a little something to do with toTOs

A team that out-rebounded us got SMOKED. These Hawks are not to be taken lightly.

We had a rough game... These are the games I'm used to losing. They won by double digits, vs a hot team. Shot like shit, got killed on the boards.... Didn't matter. Hell Teague had an awful night....

I agree - look across the league at all five of the early afternoon games. All ugly, brutal, out of sync games. Everyone is out of rhythm.

 

Great crowd for a Monday afternoon game and perfect time for an extended homestand! Let the excitement build on itself in front of the fans as this team's win streak grows to 13.. 14.. 15

Ugly win.  The point of emphasis?  WIN

 

Go Hawks!

[Sothron]

It might not have been pretty but a win is still a win. THIRTEEN in a row. Five of our last six home games are sell outs as well. Nice to see the fans showing up now.

We need games like these where the defense wins is the game when the offense struggles. As long as the defense holds they'll ALWAYS be in games with a chance to win.

We can't score, so neither can you. That's the mentality.

Jon Berry was in the #Pistons locker room after the game on a training table getting looked at by Arnie Kander. Tough broadcast evidently.

 

The Hawks even open a can of whip ass on Jon Barry!!!

[Guest]

Tough game but we withstood the struggles on offense with our D. Great win! I love this team!

[dalamchops]

Awesome quote from Coach Bud...

 

Budenholzer said before the game he puts no limit on Korver's 3-point attempts. Korver leads the NBA with his 53.6 percent shooting on 3s. He made three of six 3s against Detroit.

 

"Kyle can shoot whenever he wants," Budenholzer said. "Kyle can shoot coming out of the locker room."

Win by 10 when being outrebounded by 19. Who does that?

We have arguably the brightest mind going in American Basketball coaching our team. We've gone from irrelevance to Vegas Favorites in 130 games. WTF.

[diamond_dave]

It was a rough game, but listening to Berry make little jabs at our team for two hours was pretty tough to take. I can't stand that guy!
