[REHawksFan]

Jonathon Isaac is a beast against the Hawks

Man this games not even close if we hit half of those wide open shots. Brick city y’all.

We are 10 games of Reddish getting a feel for NBA offense, 5 games of Huerter getting his wind back and 20 games of learning to play together away from being a very scary young team.

The defensive improvement over last year is impressive. Hunter making Taurean Prince an afterthought.

[JTB]

I’m impressed with how this team isn’t getting outmuscled!

in fact the defense has been pretty damn good! Collins is really battling out there and trae is having his times too. The two rookies are using their God given arm length to disrupt passing lanes.

and coach LP is really utilizing ALL of his roster! Good first half ...now let’s close this out in the 2nd half

Seriously that’s not an understatement! Our defense looks well “good” ...damn I’m impressed. Just need to make sure this is really who we are and these aren’t fluke games as this is extreme improvement and we aren’t fully gelling yet

Loving the energy from the rooks. I like how we look on defense with Cam on the floor despite his offensive woes. I popped when he got that first bucket. 

 

Hunter is is gonna be a great player. Hope we pull it out.

As a nice side note to our game against Detroit, they are up against the sixers in the 3rd...Yes, I realize that means I have jinxed them, but...makes our road victory seem a little more impressive:)

I think Embiid is out with an ankle injury though.

I literally got into the dumbest argument at a bar last night with a guy who didn’t even think Trae was a top 5 PG in the East....if only they showed Hawks games nationally. Can’t believe how many folks sleeping on him.
