I have to disagree. The shot of the night was that Nathan Knight poster dunk.

The Bench let you down Nate and lost you the 4th quarter for the 1st time.  You're going to hear from your critics now who will say you lose 4th quarters like LP.  LOL!

Lost the 4th quarter against Boston, Denver and Sacramento too but there should be zero complaints about the way the team has played under him.  The team has clearly responded in a big way to the change and we see objectively better moves being made in a number of dimensions.  

The big test comes against the stronger group of winning teams we are about to face.  Other than Hunter and Dunn coming back, I don't think there is anything else that would put us in a better position to tackle that stretch.  Bogi and Gallo's recoveries have been big but the whole team is just playing with a focus we weren't seeing before.

Where is @kg01 @Thomas @Gray Mule @AHF comoooonnnn let’s partyyyyy Didn’t see y’all tonight! 

Was only able to watch most of the first half but was really pleased while tuned in. Everything working on the court and definitely on the sideline. As many have been saying, our last seven have been like "Nate and day". This total change is pretty incredible no matter who our opponents have been. Also, really liked the major Bogi sighting last night.

I can't watch the game and post here at the same time, therefore I watch live and post later.

Hawks are winning now.  Several reasons why.  Attitude change brought on by a new head coach.  I believe the team quit on LP.  He wasn't a great coach.  They quit listening to him.  Too bad for him.

Hawks are finally getting healthy and more to come on this terrible, bad road journey.  We will need all the help we can get and the team must be hitting on all parts at the same time.

A big thing, mostly not mentioned a lot.  The Atlanta Hawks were insulted.

First of all, we have very few national TV games.  Meaning, you are not good enough.  If we do have you on it is to showcase your opponent, not you.  Second insult.  We're having the all star game at your home but none of you are good enough to even give an invite.  That one hurts too.

What do we do?  Lay down and take it?  No.  We come out after the all star break, fighting mad.  

New coach.  New health.  Fighting, after being insulted twice.  Someone is going to pay for their under value of the Atlanta Hawks!

@Wretch I was whining about the camera man for like 20 min. I was like I GOTTA WATCH THE PLAYERS MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL!!!!! Ahhhhhh good times. That guy must have been nearsighted! 

Dude, I knew I wasn't crazy!  For about 5 minutes I couldn't figure out why I was so aggravated.  Then it hit me...why can't I see the whole play?  WTF is this guy doing? I thought it might be the cameraman in OKC or their broadcast style or something.  What a relief in the 2nd quarter when the full shot came back.

Offline taking care of family stuff during the game.  Got in a few fist pumps watching on the phone.  Loved our assertiveness on both ends of the floor really seizing control of this one and not letting go.

I kept physically moving back from my tv in hopes that the cameraman would follow suit! Like those Homer Simpson memes straight into the bushes
