Please Hawks don't embarrass the ATL on national TV. At least look respectable tonight.

I think all this will take Len playing 25-30 minutes and getting Huerter and Crabbe in. We are not ready to miss two starters and be competitive, If not possible, then roll theses players out, Trae, Reddish, Hunter, Collins, and Len/Bruno, and see what happens. I for one am tired of seeing Bembry, who we know about, and Jones play.

ESPN showing this as the Hawks starters, Trae, Reddish, Hunter, Collins, Len. That is what I was hoping for. Lets give Bembry and Jones the night off.

Reddish already winning the battle of the Dukies with a smothering block of RJ.

[hawkman]

There ya go Cam!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Much better offensive flow tonight.  Even Collins looks a lot better on defense.

[hawkman]

Nice defense by Trae there.

[TheFuzz]

Missing some shots but I like how we look, not any crazy shots off the top of my head so far.

[NBASupes]

This is the Cam Reddish that I like

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae Young

1st team ALL-DEFENSE

 

 

[Peoriabird]

The Knicks have come out aggressive on defense!

[TheFuzz]

Anybody else see that floater Trae took from just inside the 3 line? Didn't look too bad actually even though he missed it.

[NBASupes]

Hunter is clearly a beast

[TheFuzz]

Hunter looks nice tonight.

[NBASupes]

Our defense is looking much better today.

Nice by all, I suppose there's promise switching smalls to bigs given how well both Hunter and Trae took on Portis and Morris.

 

Liking Trae on offense though, we know his shot is gonna be shaky but if he's collecting 4 fouls on the opposing PGs in the first quarter alone it's an extra dimension to his game.

[Marvin24Williams]

Hunter has some serious potential as a playmaker. He's making nice read after nice read when he gets to run it.

He definitely understands defensive positioning.  He guarded Randle a few times very well.

 

[TheFuzz]

We sure that's not Spellman playing PG for us now? He's got some heft to him

He's a LOT more fluid and agile than he looked at Virginia. He has serious offensive potential.
