Stephen A actually tuned into the Hawks game? 

I guess that's why snow was in part of Atlanta. Lol

Kendrick has been a Trae supporter, but it's surprising how the narrative changes when these people actually watch Trae play. The NBA did us a disservice by not giving the Hawks more national exposure, that should change in the second half of the season though.

Some jr. exec, who recommended a bunch of warriors tv games that got rubber stamped based on history (that's not gonna repeat itself), is trying not to make eye contact with his bosses right now.

I can't be the only one that chuckled at the Grizzlies losing control of their emotions after the fouls we got, right?

Seeing Ja go full-on tantrum mode made my heart sing. 

I know it's wrong ..... but if it’s wrong, do I wanna be right?

Look, I know you got the Warrior hate, but the REAL disservice is the New Orleans Pelicans, they didn't even get this much National TV with AD.

Knight is a good interview. Sounds like a smart dude.

Warriors are in big trouble. Steph, Klay and Draymond are a trinty. You need all three.

New Orleans just is not a basketball town for some reason.

How amazing does it feel to have a team that still has a shot even when part of the starting 5 struggle or are out? 

(Knock on wood) the ghost of last season is slowly disappearing.

My biggest takeaways today:

1.  Our depth is real.  Seeing Brandon Knight contribute in a meaningful way and the bench play as well as they did was really nice.
2.  Everyone that was giving up on Huerter needs to give him time.  He had a great game and shot well, but I feel like he plays really well off ball and his gravity is underrated, which leads me to...
3.  Watching Trae work with the amount of space our shooters are providing him is amazing.  He finishes so well at the rim with his layup touch and floaters, and I've noticed he's getting better at using his body to finish as well.  Teams have to respect the rest of our guys this year, so I expect Trae's bad nights (shot not falling) to still be moderately efficient scoring and his good nights will be closer to game 1.  Loving watching the offense this season.

Yep, we saw it on the floor tonight as well. Not gonna slander any Hawks players but it was very refreshing.

Bruno with 10 boards in only 17 minutes.

That means the Hawks perimeter defense was forcing a lot of misses, and Bruno had little issue clearing the boards.

Also 3 assists from Bruno.

Trae used Memphis' aggressiveness against them in the fourth.  

[terrell]

RJ Barrett is 1-14..Yikes

Bulls are getting blown out again...

Killian Hayes is a few years away..Hali is clearly better..

OKC beat Charlotte..lol

This is true!

Loved seeing Nathan Knight provide a major boost when we were so thin in the first half with JC’s quick two fouls.  Loved his poise, moves, and especially, postgame interview.

 

One thing that might be easy to forget - he (and Skylar Mays) are both older than our Core 5 of Trae/Kev/Cam/Dre/JC.  Although it is a matter of days between Nate and JC

It's not my money. But if we paid him let's play him. He looked far from washed in the bubble.

Pretty sure he's gonna play..
