Official Game Thread: Some Hawks at Some Pelicans

[hawkzlova123]

Kevin huerter pink a#@ just said eff u. So did lou lemon pepper willimas. Let's go Hawks keep playing caw caw

[Spud2nique]

Wow. What a night! Bogi looked incredible. I have to say I didn’t know he was capable of this. He is efficient with a laser three that looks money every time. 
 

So happy for Huerter, hopefully this night will get him going. Okongwu came through tonight and even a whack to the face by Juancho didn’t phase. I lost my seat on that oops from BG to him. One rebound shy of his first of hopefully many career double doubles. 
 

Cant forget sweet baby Lou. There is no way he should have even considered retirement. The guy has a game that can be effective till he’s 53 (no pun Warriors, ok a little). 
 

With Bogi, Lou and our superstar Trae, the sky is truly the limit. No ceiling on this team. We must still take it day by day and rep by rep to build this massive beast team that will be the envy of the league. High fives all around squawkers! 

Go Hawks! 

ps Tony Snell hasn’t missed a free throw in 2 years. Wow.

Hawks looked great tonight. Bogi is showing what he can really do lately. I so wish this team had been  healthy all season under Nate. I can't imagine how much our record would be. We are 11-4 under Nate.

I've been saying this for a while.  LP didn't know how to deploy Bogi.  He needed to have an offensive set or 2 that allows him to play at a particular pace. He is very deliberate with his approach.  He's a guy that prefers a guy to dive to the basket as he probes the D rather than having others stay on the wing for spacing. 

He doesn't have blow buy level explosiveness, rather he has a deadly jumper that is very threatening at all times. Squares up very quickly. Top 5 form on his shot in the entire NBA.  

He's still not being used to his full potential because we don't have him spotting up after running off screens yet much yet. In my mind, he's an easy 20 point scorer with defense that's a little better than you think. He sneaks a few blocks in every game with that 7 foot wingspan.  It's not even all clicking for him yet and you can see how effective he already is when he's comfortable. It's a very good thing

Great games from two maligned wings on this site in Huerter and Bogi but Lou is the guy that stood out the most to me.  I know this was a better than average game for him this season but he really had way more life to him than I was expecting.  As others have said, that trade looks like highway robbery right now.

Give Lou a max deal.

I'm praying we can get 100% healthy at some point..Nate is getting the best of out of everybody it seems..I want to see Cam and Dre under Nate..

See this old article of when the Bulls fired Doug Collins after reaching the Eastern Conference finals and turned the reigns over to Phil Jackson.  https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/bulls/ct-chicago-bulls-doug-collins-firing-20200425-2ass2omhq5gmrpi5bh7bmmbnoi-story.html

Some things I have learned about the Atlanta Hawks.  Remember that commercial, My dog is better - - -

My bench is better than your bench, My bench is better than yours, My bench is better because we have sweet Lou, My bench is better than yours.

I read where Agent 0017 had been taken over by Lou and he has been coaching him already.  I believe that they said, "Took him under his wing!"  Very Hawk like !!  Didn't they both look great!

Bogie is better than many here thought.  He's not wasted $$$$ money after all.  Bruno desperately needs the G-league.  Somewhere he can play every day and not be under so much pressure.  The NBA is killing him right now.  Like it's been said, I'm so sorry for him.

Usually, in the NBA, when a team returns home from a long trip the first game is a loser.  Don't know why.  Lets hope that our very good Hawk team can overcome this and get a home victory.

We may live o regret our latest trade but right now it looks to us like Travis pulled off a robbery.  Hawks traded Rajon Rondo to the Clippers for Lou Williams.  I feel that Atlanta gets the better end of this deal.  But, the Clippers really wanted their new PG so that's fine.  Both teams got what they wanted.

But wait, there's more.  Atlanta also received 2 future 2nd round picks and $125 million in cash plus payroll relief for next year.  Hopefully, Hawks can re sign Williams.

On top of this trade, Travis had a #6 draft pick who is looking better and better.  Way to go!

Remember the reason for the season... Have a great Easter !!

Ok I'm almost a day late but hear me, I won't call Trae out today. Kudos to him, he had zero turnovers last night and didn't shoot any ill-advised three at the start of the clock.  Also, I just realized the Hawks can't win without their superstar. 

Great win, Hawks. I wasn't aware Lou could do any good for the Hawks but man was I wrong... Bogi is red hot and he kept shooting (and making!) 3s all game long, no shortage of shots in the 2nd half. Good to see Huerter hit a lot of shots, and finally OO is starting to show why he's worth a lottery pick.  Solo and Bruno, though... 

 

4th seed, here we go.

Very injured bur just the same when the playoffs come around we will have a bench we haven't had for a good while. Am sure not everyone will be healthy because this season is just that way but we have so many parts now that we didn't have before. Nate will come up with a rotation no matter what as we just observed. Good days ahead.
