That was about as ugly as a 17 point win could be. But honestly not surprising. The last game against them had what seemed to be a shaky flow off of what I was following by ESPN PBP.

What would it take to make you happy about a win?

Not that I want this at all, aside from the awkward media reactions, but we're also 2.5 games away from sending Bud to New Orleans in February.

The incompetent, stubborn, terrible drafting, former COTY and All-Star Coach leading the East for the 2nd time in 4 years? Travesty

I just need the Falcons to cap off this weekend with a big win tomorrow to go to the Superbowl, then we follow it up by thrashing the Clippers on Monday night.

Sixers, my second favorite NBA team, without their star, best player,

kept the game close.  Tied at the end of 1st quarter and every time

Hawks rushed ahead, they crept back.

Great to win this one.  Some way, this team doesn't look like the

lottery team that they did for a while.

Now, GO FALCONS!

Pretty sad that our loss game threads are twice as long as our win threads. Where are The Miserable Ones?

Great night in the standings. C'mon Kangz, I want a cherry on this Saturday Night Sundae!

Officials not letting that happen with this phantom call on Cousins. One of the worst calls I have seen this season.

Seems we are one more game closer to more than one team

as the Cavs lost tonight in overtime!

GO ATL HAWKS !!

Sap, Dwight, and Dennis were supposed to dominate their matchups to a near triplet double-double.  The energy Dwight played with was great despite only 7 attempts. Kenneth Bazemore was okay I guess.

I'm liking the decreased three point attempts too (26 per, 19th) in favor of more high percentage 2s.  When you go jacking all crazy (no, @Spud2Nique) it directly erodes team hustle when they don't go.  Bud can accept a couple from Dennis and/or Timmy then pulls in the reigns.  The Spurs are at the bottom of the league in attempts and top in limiting opponent attempts.  The sh@t works.

We haven't seen those defensive lapses we saw during the losing streak because there's been a seamless transition from Kyle.  It took a mental toll on the team when he would miss and get attacked on defense.  

My boy missed a wiiiide open corner 3 pretty bad and hung his head so low.  I think this was in the second quarter against SA.  He never returned.  I felt so bad.  It's like he was thinking "I'm done."  Back in the day that shot would barely graze the net flushing through.

Dennis shooting under .700?!  Stop the f@&kin presses!  But seriously, the German been locked in.  It may have been he hasn't a shred of respect for TJ McConnell but I'd like to see him pressure full court more like he did tonight. 

The Sixers are who we thought they were without Embiid but Let's Go anyway.

Typical Squawk...Hawks win? Ok. Not much posts and several posters mysteriously disappear.

Hawks lose? OH MY F****ING GOD. THIS.IS.THE.WORST.TEAM.EVER. I TOLD you that Dennis wasn't a real PG, Dwight is trash, Millsap needs to be traded, BLOW IT ALL UP FOR THE TEARS OF JESUS BLOW IT ALL UP!!

Only half 1/2 game behind Boston.

I believe it's a full game because of the head2head (knock it off, Spud) tiebreaker.

[django2341]

Great win! Lets talk about "The Wave" tho. That was kinda weird lol. Dont know if I saw that before at a NBA game

Even as a german Hawks fan I just hope for you guys in ATL you're going to the superbowl. Go Falcons!

We watching the same game? Hawks only had 13 turnovers and grabbed 48 rebounds. Shot 50%...

Looking at the stats and the C spot grabbed twenty four rebounds for us which certainly will win most games right there so thinking our rotation should be set there now after the last few games even in Bud's mind. No more goo-goo eyes towards Moose now please Bud. If no rookies are going to play at all then the ten man rotation at least seemed logical last night.

I was impressed with way the Hawks handled business tonight. The 76ers have been tough lately. I Have complained about Dennis sometimes but he is as tough as they come for his size.
