This bench has looked bad for 3 straight games.  Really 4, but Lou got hot and saved us in our last win.

True. Gallo, Lou, and now Huerter should be enough to keep the offense going.

Who starts the 2nd half in place of Snell? Huerter or LOLomon?

Should be Kev unless he's on a restriction. 

Hawks just need Bogie to get into a rhythm and they'll be fine. Would be nice if JC decides to act like a max player instead of a role player too.

^This. Chicago has an undersized frontcourt. No excuses.

Start Dunn in the 2nd half. I want no part of Solomon

Collins has been kind of lost. Some of that is him no longer being the offensive focus behind Trae. Some of it is he tries to hard when he does get that ball. I'd really like to see him pass out of those double teams and become more of a distributor.

I'll just say this.

If we lose this game, all bets are off about the Hawks being in the top 8.  With the way the Wizards are playing, we could freefall all the way to 10th in a worst case scenario.

• vs Portland
• vs Phoenix
• @ Indiana
• vs Washington
• vs Washington
• vs Orlando
• vs Houston

You figure we could at least go 4 - 3 in a worst case scenario, but none of those next 7 games are guaranteed.  The next 5 games involve teams with something significant to play for.  Despite the very nice home schedule to end the year, nothing can be taken for granted.

Snell will be out for a few more games. Unreal.

What happened to Snell?

He was getting post touches when Nate first took over and actually looked great in the post. I don't know what has changed.

Encouraging despite the team performance..

Unexpected good news.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Looks like the Hawks have awaken.

[hawkman]

Now that's more like it. Hawks need to dominate this quarter. The bench better not screw this up.

[Dnice]

They probably will hawkman,  gallo is ok, the others, even Lou lately,   ugh.

Our medical staff must have taken a game off,

Trae's defensive effort this game has been tremendous.
