SEE?   Big difference between Capela and Okongwu guarding Giannis.   

Capela is all hands and reaching trying to stay in front of Giannis.

Okongwu stands his ground and lets Giannis run into him, while staying in front of him.

Okongwu is shades of a young Horford. I might cry y'all. All my sons ballin who's available to play

Imaging what our defense will look like next year with Reddish and hunter starting at the wing position!!!

[Final_quest]

Trae Young out starting a Ewing theory.  We keep five active defenders out there at all times.  

[Carmine]

I love Trae but his long 3's were giving Bucks easy points in the transition, even without the Jrue Holiday cherry picking. Were making them earn every point tonight, love it!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LOL Shaq!!

[ATLHawks3]

The presence of Okongwu and Reddish has injected new form life into this team. Even without Trae they aren't backing down. Keep it up in the second half!

This game is even more exciting than when we are putting up 70 pt first halves.

This team will be a defensive juggernaut when Hunter gets healthy.  Cam, Dunn, OO, have been fantastic off the bench.  Nate knows defense and they are executing at a very high level.  We have a real shot here y'all.  Just got to keep playing the tough defense.

No more Dunn, though.

But he's off again tonight (2-8).  He's going to have to take better shots or find open guys.

Who cares about Bogi

That still doesn't explain why the team can't play like this when Trae goes out the game.

If that theory was true, why does the team play awful when Trae goes out?

Proud to be a Hawks fan. Big ups to the crowd, Phillie's and Knick's die hard "knowledgeable" fans out there firing up Trae Young and booing their team with the game on the line, while our "quaint" southern simpleton fans out there with the all time most effective free throw line troll in the history of the game. F the overrated N east teams and fans and the media. Let's bring it home Hawks.

Chuck!!!!!  LOL!

Idk about that but this game has been tremendous exciting!

I think he has to play, just to give Lou and Bogi a breather.

He just needs to make more of an impact on the defensive end.  I was hoping he and Cam would be causing straight havoc on that end of the floor.  Cam is bringing it.  Dunn is looking nowhere like the player he was in 2019.

TNT complaining about the Bucks as predicted

[Hawkmoor]

Maybe its the Hawks playing good Barkley. Milwaukee is playing, Atlanta has just been better.

Still wondering what was the coaching staff thinking in the 1st 3 games???

Sticking with the guys that have put together the most important playoff run in Atlanta Hawks history. Can't be too hard on Nate we are one Tonya Harding of Trae away from being up 2-1 and on our way to 3-1

[AUhawksfan]

Can I just say something?  Hasn’t this playoffs just been fun?

I’m just having a good time, enjoy it Squawkers. In the past, Hawks teams have made me nervous based on previous failures and not living up to expectations but let me tell you, I’m just enjoying this ride and you should too.
