Official Game Thread: Wizards at Hawks

[Lurker]

Very good game to watch today. Touching tribute to Kobe early and got to see basically everyone go off for stretches. Could tell that Young was just fueled emotionally tonight.

Trae Young is the man!

When the Hawks start winning, he'll be a top 3 superstar in the NBA..

I thought the game wouldn't help. It did.  Good to see the guys play well and get us a win.  

Good job everyone.

Andre with the BRUTAL post game interview with Trae. Ugh. I know he's got a job to do but it's just awkward asking Trae about the game in DC and about the historic 2nd qtr tonight. It was obvious Trae had no interest talking about that stuff.

Best offensive game of the year. First time it really felt like everyone was clicking.

It helps when the opponent is playing all star game defense. But yeah, seeing multiple guys play well in the same game was nice to see on an otherwise sucky day.

Just a couple of updates on Trae.  After tonights' game

29.5 (pts if they round up 3rd in the league), 8.9 assists (should be tied for second with Luka) and 4.6 rebounds on 44.7% shooting 37.5% from three, and 84% from the line (I'm guessing on that one...lol).

This guy is having a hell of a season.  My goodness I can't wait for everyone else to catch up with him and we get some good vets around. 

Also, shot out to De'Andre and Cam.  Very good games.  Cam's coming along nicely.  Good to see De'Andre being aggressive.  I just want him to pass to the open guy just a tinsy bit. 

Glad I can bury myself in the numbers.

So I guess Trae’s stats weren’t empty this game. 
I wonder what the Trae-ters gonna do now?

They are all praising him for going off for Kobe tonight.  Twitter is a love fest for Trae tonight. I honestly don't know how to react to this..lol

With Luka struggling right now on efficiency, Trae has closed a lot of the gaps too. Maybe this will be part of Kobe’s legacy. Investing in Trae this off season. 

[NBASupes]

For those who do numerology, this game is buzzed with numerology for Kobe/Gigi from Trae Young

I found this on twitter:

Kobe-Trae Young Gematria

Trae wears #8 to start the game

First play of the game is a 8-sec violation

Hawks score 152 points = 1+5+2=8

Gigi favorite player is Trae.

Trae made 13 FG for Gigi's age (13)

Kobe has been to 3 games this yr. 2 Hawks games (Trae). 2 Lakers (Bron). 1 Mavs (Luka)

24 FG att for Trae. Kobe 2nd # 

 Trae was 13/16 from the FT line = 81% 81 points, Kobe's best game.

First, I hope the checks in the mail for you use of "Trae-ters"? 

Seriously though, the new narrative will be stte: "ah, somebody's gotta score on a bad team, I guess it's him."

Totally ignoring that Trae is a walking Chernobyl out there.

Ain't he though...lol. My goodness he's going to break every Hawk scoring and assist record if he stays healthy.

IF they start winning. Who knows with Schlenk in charge.

Trae+Cam is a great draft.  Im happy with both players..Excited to watch them grow together......I dont even care about Luka or his annoying fans anymore..Life is too short..I wish them well...
