I think we need to consider the weight of this victory.   This team was on a 5 game win streak with wins over GS, WAS, and NY  and there last lost was to the Lakers in Overtime.   Good Win Hawks.   We're getting back to business.   Looking forward to us streaking up the charts!!

I 100% agree with this.

Trae needs to master staying hot while letting other shine. That part of his game will unlock once he starts to move without the ball and gets easy shots like Steph.

His shot selection is so poor that he can't sustain shooting at a high percentage

Trae's shot selection is almost as bad as Baron Davis' was lol

Hey, Soth.  Is Clint also on the ‘Squawk?  Because it looks like he’s mad at those “bad contract” posts.

I was told several current players. And Cam was mad specifically at me and a few other posters that said we were willing to trade him for an established guy. He has playing much better since he saw those posts.

Steph got that great shot selection through maturity. 

Trae is going to have to do the same thing.   He's going to have to get to the place where he understands the game and understands that you don't get several attempts to win it all.

I said pregame we need to stop dropping these games. Hope this is a corner turned toward no longer continuously losing to these teams we're supposed to be better than.

Well they are a young talented team like us.   I believe that we have much more talent, but they have talent.   They have been more serious than we have thus far but we took them behind the woodshed tonight.

Feel free to go to realgm.com and talk about this on the Hawks are 5-9 what is happening? thread where all these clowns were pure hating on us and now won't show up to talk about us.

Was this Trae's best defensive game of the season?  He played like a true point guard tonight, except about 4 shots tonight.

I stay away from there. It's like talking to ESPN. Can't talk about our team without Dallas boy being brought up.

Yeah Trae played good overall tonight. Too many hero ball bombs for me, but he'll learn that the team has grown and he doesn't need to do that all the time.

It's weird that Dre had to go down for us to start playing more team ball.

 

Guys simply started to make shots.  And I think having 2 shooters like Kevin and Bogi alongside Trae to start games, is best for the team.  DeAndre just isn't a sniper.  He's a solid all around player, but he doesn't do one thing well above average at this point in his career.  And that's OK.

[NBASupes]

As I said last game, I love this team again

Defensively he does a number of things at a very high level but offensively, he has some limitations.

Those clowns on RealGM will never admit they're wrong about anything. They just hide when they are clearly wrong and only revisit a topic if it looks like they're "right" again. They did that with Trae for three seasons straight. I can't respect that.

We are so much better at home.  We really gotta try to get one of the top 4 seeds. Home court is very important.

When?  This is year 4 of the same stuff game after game?

He is the best wing defender on the team by a wide margin

[Sothron]

I know we are all seeing this but in case he sees this: welcome back Clint Capela. Your play the last several games has been excellent. It looks like you are finally over the heel issue.
