83 points.  Franchise record in the 1st half in game 1.

 

Wow.

 

Trae to the fan base . . . . #KeepThatSameEnergy

[RandomFan]

I'm old enough to remember when we didn't score 83 in a whole game before.

The defense is not bad, but not good. With the pace we play on offense I dont know if its even possible for us to have a great defense.

 

Yeah the defense is still a concern. When the shooting cools down, that will come back to bite them.

83, Hawks doing videogame numbers out here!

I remember that horrible blowout loss to the Hornets during the JJ era, when they didn't even crack 60.  Or barely cracked it.  

And that was a playoff level team.

If Trae plays like this for the season, he will be League MVP!

We can have both - they aren't mutually exclusive...regardless of how fast we play or how many bombs we drop on teams.

[JTB]

Looking great so far!

[bleachkit]

I would give that 1st half a satisfactory grade.

[Wurider05]

We better not lose this game!!!
