What a way to open the season

 

Great win

We really struggled against the same exact team last year. Shows you that this team is a completely different beast this year.

Okay, Bulls, in your "home" opener, you will score 59 first-half points, and you'll hold Atlanta to 13 in the final quarter. Do you accept?

Somebody has to play in these blowout wins.  hopefully we see them a lot in these situations.

People that took the Over 233.5 in this game, are mad at the Hawks.

I legit didn't know who 3/5ths of those dudes were.

SMH Solomon HIll

I officially don't like him.

I like him in his intended role. But he got waaaay too many minutes tonight for me. We don't need him playing those Vince Carter minutes. He can lead from the bench and in the locker room. If he is on the court, he needs a three dribble restriction.

[Final_quest]

Wow.  They hit the breaks mid way through the 3rd.  It was never in doubt, but the last 15 minutes was ugly.  
 

Great win.

He's a cone. He needs to remember that, and he'll be fine for us in spot minutes.

So good to see the Hawks play in a real game again!

Man they really took it to the Bulls ... that was one of the worst defensive performances I have ever witnessed and we took advantage...

It’s nice to have so many shooters... 

Trae knows it’s not preseason anymore

JC was just having his way inside

an underrated part of Gallos game are the screens he sets

Cam and Dre are improving so much ... Cam is becoming a defensive juggernaut 

Bogi actually did a great job running the offense ... he has an all around game

Kev had going behind the three point line 

this performance was without Dunn, Clint or Rondo.

the rest of the bench were pretty pitiful but they won’t usually play anyway.

great start to the season!  Keep it up!

Good win for the Hawks. Next up is Memphis who will be in a bad mood after losing their season opener.

According to Basketball Reference, the list of players who have scored at least 37 points on 12 or fewer FG attempts in a game: Trae Young

End of list

[bleachkit]

Solomon Hill -8 in 28 minutes. 

[Carmine]

BIG MOOD, great team win! Enjoy it everyone!

They should have been running the PnR with Goodwin and Bruno in the last 3 minutes.

Some of you guys are die hards...See after the 1st quarter

[JayBirdHawk]

So is Cam the 'Official Starting Shooting Guard'  even when Capela is cleared to play?  I hope so.

[terrell]

Per Hawks PR, De'Andre Hunter's +40 tonight is the best +/- for a Hawk since at least 2002-03.

The most encouraging thing about this win was it was our Young Core that really did the dominating.  Trae, Kevin, Cam, Hunter, John...great job Schlenk.  These guys looked great out there. 

Not saying the new comers didn't contribute, because they did, but the start of this Game was magnificent to see the growth from the young wings.

Trae came out with an MVP performance.  The bulls didn't have much defensive resistance, but that offense tonight was special regardless.

Schlenk constructed a great deep team this year. We haven't even seen our best defensive lineups out there.  

I'm just so stoked to start the season with a Hawks win and the team playing so well on both ends.  The turnovers got out of hand once the game was out of reach.  Trae ran the offense to perfection.

I'm just rambing y'all...lol
