We're getting some nice help in the other games around the league tonight too!

Golden State dropping the ball right now. I fully expect them to turn it around though.

Balance at its finest.

Moving on up in the standings now. Bulls and Wiz coming back down to earth after their scorching starts, Philly and NY looking pretty weak too. Hawks continue playing like these it won't be long before we leapfrog a bunch of these teams.

It's one of his best games period. He was completely and utterly dominant and was insanely efficient both scoring and passing.

Im especially glad he did this vs Popovich.........

[Final_quest]

That was stout.  Trae showed up.  He’s gonna send Pop to his grave.

We are like 2 games back from the #2 seed in the east suddenly.

Cam up

Trae dime to Cap

Great win tonight! 

Trae was a superstar level tonight. I guess he took that Olympic snub personally and showed pop what a superstar is. 

Everyone else were great. 

We do need to figure out why teams are killing us on the offensive boards.  Our offense is so good it doesn't matter, but it needs to be addresssed.

Cam is becoming more consistent right in front of our eyes and that oop!!!!

Edit: Hawks up to the 9th seed.  We have a real shot of being the 5th seed  by the end of the week if we can take care of Memphis!

Edit 2 - Another solid defensive game from Trae.  Loved the two steals.

Bogi was pretty good tonight too.

Yeah too bad the Raptors pulled it out vs Memphis......Memphis will be hungry for a win vs Hawks.. Gonna be a tough one...But if our offense keeps playing like this, Im not worried..

[Spud2nique]

I don’t understand why people around the NBA just won’t crown Trae as the best passer? I dunno, I might be biased but pics don’t lie. He’s the best.

Collins and Capela are in heaven with Trae and his passing ability.

Trae has some bad games against Ja, but he's on fire the last couple of games and I think it carries over. Gonna be a fun matchup.

I don't remember the last time the East was so tight 2-10, wonder how long it'll stay that way.

Awhile, the East is deeper than the West this season imo.

Agreed. It's going to be a tougher road for the Hawks this season. I still see them ending up a top 4 seed and going deep into the Playoffs though.

They cut it to 9.......

There's no reason they should lose to the 76ers minus Embiid and Simmons. I expect them to end this in the 3rd.

Over night Freeze Warning in the city of San Antonio.

A Damien Jones sighting in Sacramento... lol.....Those were the days.....

[JeffS17]

For anyone like me that couldn't catch the game.  Trae put on a clinic tonight, so nice to see.  Chemistry on offense is starting to really click, love it.

One thing I find interesting is that we have had almost no close games this year.  Suns, NO, and maybe Wiz?  Feels like most games have been over by mid 4th quarter.  Not complaining when we get Ws but hasn't been too stressful watching just yet
