Trae was trash this game. Baze, Bembry and Prince won us this one. 

Lmao...perhaps but I love the grit. And he didn't wilt....he's a player and the least of our worries.

[JTB]

What we saw tonight was Bazemore with HANDLES ....I wish he could do this every game ! Swear he’d be a completely different player.

Agreed. This doesn't look like they are cultivating a losing culture at all. These kids want to win and don't give up when down. 

For sure building good habits daily. I can get on board with this. We had a poor game and won. This isn’t ur typical Hawks win in years past.

Took ‘em 4 games to get 2 wins. Is that the over on 12 for first win?

? he hasn’t been in.. ? 

[Spud2nique]

Oh we got Memphis sac! is that over or in sac?

[AHF]

Let's take the "do we have a tank culture?" posts to the tank thread.

Loving this win too much to have to start cleaning threads up.  Just enjoy!

We usually when down in the past on national TV fall apart.  Not tonight.   Commentators didnt know what to say.

Oh, and good job on padding those stats Trae. 

Ill take 17/5/4 from my rookie pg in a win, regardless of how he got em..lol. He made clutch free throws. That sh!t counts too..(see LBJ last night)

This is a really good win. 

Pierce did a really good job at managing the lineup tonight.  Trusting Bembry to play heavy minutes paid off.

The little things like Carter staring Matthews down in defense of Trae and Trae himself not backing down were encouraging, The guys are gritty and play ugly but they want it. 

[Spud2nique]

Having a smart point guard. It’s an awesome feeling.

Yup for sure they had each other’s backs and everything came together in the form of a beautiful win. As @Jody23 would say, on to the next one ☝?!

[NBASupes]

I don't expect Just Baze to play v. Wes Matthews defense every night so I don't expect this but I am happy it happened and on our only time of national TV this year.

If Philly beats the Bucks tonight, we won’t see him for a month. ?

[Spud2nique]

Also it’s jjj vs Bags if anyone is interested and I’m sure many are in this forum.

I’m not too good with maths (except calculating commission in my head in 3 milliseconds), we on pace for 1-12?
