Official Game Thread: Hawks at Wizards

[TheTruth]

Nice win. But man, SG is an inconsistent black hole for us right now. Hopefully when Bogi returns, he starts playing well because it looks like Cam and Heurter are going to make us do a lot of all year. Oh, and someone send Hunter a Get Well Soon card, STAT!

[terrell]

I hope Hunter is ok..

We aren't going anywhere without him.

Most impressive tonight was Trae's 2 Turnovers.

This was a good win!  Team only played down the competition when they were up 22. LP let them play threw it and  Trae took us home.  This win was critical with the upcoming schedule.  Make sure you guys go vote for the Hawks (Trae, John, Capela, Hunter) into the allstar game! 

We have a freaking good defensive team.  I was told by realgm, twitter, and nba reddit, that you could never build a solid defense around Trae because he's the worst defensive player to play the game.  Eat my shorts!

We need to play more teams with guys that Rondo has beef with. He finally played good tonight.

I think he came up gimpy last game but played through it. I remember seeing him wincing...

@NBASupes was right!  Cam really stepped up his defense when Hunter went down.  I can't wait to get Dunn out there.  This team has the potential to roll out the best defensive lineup in the NBA.  Capela, Collins, Hunter, Cam, Dunn.  Collins has been a beast on the defensive end this season.

Also, going to leave this here and let it marinate. 

Only poor efficient game was on the second end of back to back.

Hawks win!  Kings win!  Life is good !!

Nice to see Agent 0017 get a few minutes tonight.

Great team effort tonight.  This game got really chippy.  I hope De'Andre is okay.  Nice win.  On to the next one.

Why did they trade Seth Curry? And we didnt we try to get him? One of the best three point shooters in the NBA on an absolute bargain contract.

And Utah is well coached, it's ridiculous.

Who would have you traded to get him?  Matching up salaries etc?

I'm enjoying listening to ESPN mansplain why the Mavs are struggling.  They had an unbelievable offense last season, impossible to repeat that even when they are healthy

His off ball movement is extremely underrated. He reminds me of Korver with more on ball skills but worse defense and size.
