Mirotic must be hurt.  I always wondered about Solomon Hill being in the league.

Bembry hitting 3s?

Bembry hit a three.  Stop the presses.

Man what D head at these networks decided against airing this game?!  These boys balling.  Working the glass, more blocks than turnovers.  Shiiiiit.

Didn't @KB21 predict a lot of turnovers for this team?

Congrats to Coach Pierce on coaching his 1st NBA game

LOL . . and here I am thinking he was going to just hand it off to the big man.   He literally looked back at Poythress on the head fake, and Alex went straight into the lane as soon as he turned the corner.   That was impressive vision.

Trae>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dennis

Wow.  The minute distribution (Bembry the most at 25).  Has a Bud team ever got 54 boards in regulation?  32 assists.  72(!) points in the paint bruh?  We beat any team in the league tonight not named GS.

I’m no Alvin Gentry fan so whenever they look poor I’m not surprised, nor did I see the game.  But this is a pleasant ass surprise missing our starting C.  If I were a knee jerk I’d say Schlenk has a pretty nice team fit and Lloyd Pierce has some coaching mettle.  I don’t give a damn about all the things Trae will have to struggle through, his passing is elite NOW.

As a passer, absolutely. As a scorer,  not right now. 

[bleachkit]

Hawks played great. But let's face it, Pelicans mailed this one in. Once they pulled AD game was over.

[JayBirdHawk]

Observations:

32 assists, 7 steals, 12 blocks, 54 rebounds, 72  points in the paint.

Bembry and Len were the surprising duo.

John Collins , need more rebounds though.

Trae Young, struggled shooting and was pressing in 1st half, settled down in 2nd half but that passing was on point for the entire game. (Only 2 turnovers)

The Defense was pretty good.

Huerter, nothing memorable.

You know me, I went looking hahaha. The 60 win season, the Hawks had approximately 12 games (I didn't check if they were in regulation) of 50 or more rebounds, the highest being 61 rebounds.

I think more 50+ rebound games the following year.

Your observations are basically the same as mine. Trae did appear to be pressing in the first half. But he dished out some nice assists. JC was dominant at times. Bembry and Lin looked solid working in tandem. Alex Len made his prescence felt on defense. Kevin Heurter needs to be a little more assertive. Prince was solid.

What about the 12 blocks and 70 points in the paint?

You can do your own research.
