Does Bruno have on Trae's Cotton Candy shoes on?

Hawks should've done a tribute video for Bruno tonight.

Cam's three point percentage bouta take a dive after tonight. Good game regardless. 

Trae too...

Kind of odd that Huerter didn't score in the second half.  I don't know if he even took a shot, after being so hot in the first half.  Hmmm...

Trae being aggressive is what's giving guy's these opportunities. Depends on the defense and his ability to adjust. Tonight's adjustment is using everyone else to alleviate the pressure.

They act like the guy isn't averaging 26ppg and 9apg on good efficiency for the season. The Celtics focused on stopping him for a reason. The other Hawks made them pay for that.

Huerter was ridiculous tonight! @hazer your boy HUERTAS! Where you at? Cam was just pretty tonight. Bogi on as well. Nice team win. 
 

GO HAWKS!!!!

The Celtics are doubling him and taking the ball out of his hands, to keep him from going off.

His assist total is high, and very valuable, because Trae is finding wide open 3 point shooters.  If the shooters shoot like this, we don't need Trae to be All-Pro.  

But these types of games come maybe once every 6 games.

This^.

When these guys come out hot and stay hot, Trae will find them, the trouble was they weren't playing the way they did tonight.

I think this is the first game where our 3 wings had a really good games in the same game.

Love seeing Mr. Intangible come back to Atlanta and leave with a loss.

Hawks lowballed JC, and they know it.

To be fair... J.C has never looked like this complete a player even going to back last season. Aside from taking defenders off the dribble, he's doing everything you can ask & more.

That's been his "thing" for a while now. He'll be hot in the first half and vanish in the second. Not a big deal. He made them pay for doubling Trae. He did his job.

Capela was running hard tonight.

Also our over passing on that one play with 2:40 left in the 3rd put a smile on my face and made me feel warm. (Despite not scoring there).

Annnnnnd Trae's teammates got into a rhythm becuz he was being forced to give it up

 

U have to actually get touches to get into a rhythm u know. That's my whole point. U get it now?

I am back to loving the kids again. Keep up the great work!

Good solid team win!  I was super nervous about this game.

The offensive woes are a thing of the past.  Could it be because Kevin's the starter now? 

The defense is improving, but still has a ways to go as far as communication.

I'll take this win though.  Glad to see we are righting the ship.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Nice win by the squad.  3 in a row.  Keep it rolling.

He honestly had more than I thought left in the tank. He was actually going inside tonight, wasn’t perimeter average Al.

This JC is the JC that didn't exist last year. He is just uppin his game levels at this point
