Official Game Thread: Hawks at Rockets

[Lurker]

Didn't realize until today that the Houston Rockets had been on a long losing streak.

Holy cow. Definitely would've been a "so Hawks" or "so Atlanta" to let them break it. 

Maybe they can make it 7 vs the Thunder heading into that brutal stretch that could be a crusher.

Sixers up 3 with 8.4 seconds left. Sixers ball.

GAME, BLOUSES SIXERS. I totally meant Sixers.

I won’t kid.  I figured we would pull it out but was getting worried at the end of the third.  Got ugly for a bit.

Are you starting to believe in that 4th quarter defense yet?

[RedDawg#8]

Lets Go!!

7 seed- moving on up

[JayBirdHawk]

Sixers win! Boston loses. 5-8 seeds all with 20 wins.

[NBASupes]

7th seed bitches!

[RedDawg#8]

Anybody mention JC collecting 4 blocks tonight too? I guess the C in JC might actually stand for Capela lol

You know the feeling the Falcons gave you EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. in 2016? Yeah, that's what I was feeling starting with the 3rd. You knew we were better and would likely win, but damnit, they were going to make their fans sweat it out to the end!

Before Trae would have started his hero ball act and started launching long 3's but this is a new day!

[JayBirdHawk]

Read it and weep boyzzzz!    mwhahaha!!!

Now the Hawks have to hold on to the 7th spot or better. Capela should be back for the game against the Thunder. If Hunter becomes available during the West coast trip, Hawks will be fine.

That west coast trip will be brutal. Probably lose some ground, so good we are banking the easy wins now.

Some payback for OKC next game. Their guards were getting into the paint at will.

If he had, we probably win by 30, instead of having to battle until the end of the game.

I'll take tonight's win.

Did I call it Bird?  5-0 if we beat OKC?

[RedDawg#8]

OKC, LAL, LAC, and SAC

Got to go at least 2-2 these next 4 to keep pace.

Yeah we always win by 30!  LOL!

I didn't realize we were only 1 game back from the Celtics. Gave me a good chuckle

We are winning games we are suppose to win even though they ain't pretty. Hell the Hawks shot 51.2 from the field and 45.9 from three. I love what Knight did. Two straight good games with Capela and Okongwu out.

Balanced scoring across the board and Gallinari looking like a great get at 20 million a year. For the Rockets, Oladipo looks like he is about ready to start making all star games again.

 

Go Hawks!
