Capela's playing well and they want spacing when Capela's not on the floor.  

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it wasn't due to injury.

Collins off the glass my word

Only nine turnovers for the Hawks.

Kurucs followed the airball three with the airball bunny

We were all so excited about cam, and with good reason, but Hunter is becoming the best wing in Atlanta.

Write this down and take it to the bank:

Once we get reasonably healthy, no team in the East can hang with us in a series if we learn to consistently defend. I'm not saying a top 5 defense or anything, I'm saying an average to better defense. If that happens, with our offensive firepower, we are going to be scary good. Like real scary.

Pretty sure Collins took his wang out midair.  Hide the kids, Brooklyn.

I love the enthusiasm

Much better performance tonight on the defensive end ... I am hoping last game was an anomaly 

[DS5]

What a game by the Hawks!! So pumped right now!

I say they both are great.  Hunter super efficient.  Cam came in and saved the second unit whenever we needed him the most. 

But I'm not going to downgrade Hunter's potential.  Looking like the number 4 pick. 

We got a squad y'all!!!!!

What a game..Deandre Hunter is the truth...Capela might be getting his legs back....Trae and Cam shot like shit, but played well overall..Go Hawks!!

Best defensive performance of the year. Excellent job by the entire squad.

I wasn't trying to play down Cam at all. I still think he has the highest potential. I'm just really excited about Hunter's improvement.

Good to see the site back up. This was a huge win. Blowing out the Nets on the road is huge for this young team's confidence. This team is legit. 

[NBASupes]

Won every quarter. 

Capela was massive

True but Redd did lockup the Durantula (to the extent you can) quite a few times these past 2 games.

[TheTruth]

I'm thinking Hunter said the following before tonight's game after missing that WIDE-OPEN 3 that would have tied the last game with a shade over a minute remaining with us down 3:

"Give me the rock and I'll make the Nets pay this time - I promise."

If he said anything of the sort, he SURELY backed it up tonight - and then some!

[terrell]

Hawks won EVERY quarter!!

With Kyrie and KD playing!  League on Notice!  Should have swept their asses!
