Love beating the Spurs and Poopovich to a bloody pulp at home. LOVE IT.

We literally lost in San Antonio for like 20 years strait. Tables have finally turned. 

[Gray Mule]

The Atlanta Hawks did some bad stuff last night

BUT

The Atlanta Hawks did a lot of things right last night !

Great big win for the team!

[JayBirdHawk]

Things I liked:

Cap with 5 steals, only 9 TOs

 

 

Thinks I didn't like: We are giving up way too many Offensive rebounds. Spurs had 15.

[RedDawg#8]

Hawks now have the longest winning streak in the East (6), and the 2nd longest in the entire league behind the Sun's 14.

"Yeah ok, Tray's a superstar ..... but he's no Derrick White " - Pop

Seriously when does Popo get heat for his team being hot trassh?  No he doesn't have the horses, but they also play like boodee.

One-a you nerds compile his coaching record with Duncan not being on the roster or staff.   It's gotta be abysmal.

Well, nerds?  We're waiting.  Why y'all lookin at me?  Ohhhh, the 'Georgia Tech' thing.  Hey, I was more an 'ideas' nerd not an 'implementation' nerd.

It sounds like Pop agrees.

Update on the Trae/Bogi/Kev/JC/Capela lineup after tonight’s game…

123 minutes played

Offensive rating -128.6

Defensive rating -95.3

Net rating of +33.3 which is TWICE as high as the second best 5 man lineup in the NBA that has played at least 100 minutes together..

So you're saying that's our best line up?

I wonder how DeAndre is going to fit into everything. He was slated as our wing of future not too long ago.

He and Cam strive to become the best bench duo in the league.  And hopefully, Nate never plays him at the 4 ever again.

[swanlee]

Good game, hope we keep up this pace and start winning more on the road

It's great but who you played has meaning too.

Yep.....I've been saying it...That's the lineup that drove the run last year, and it's the reason why I don't think it's a coincidence that they've gone on another run after Hunter went down.  Love Hunter, but he needs to learn to keep the ball moving.

[Diesel]

I am glad that we're beating the teams that we should beat.  I'm also glad that we beat the marginally better teams too.    We got to get in shape to face the best in the league.  I'm not so quick to claim that it was all lineup change seeing that Nate did change the speed in which we play at the same time.   We got to be ready to play teams that can execute and can hit the outside shot.

I don’t expect to see this group with a net < +30 come February, because they don’t look like an elite defensive group. Ball ain’t lying about the offense, though.

I had us 7-13 going 3 and 3 at home and losing to Memphis....And that was before going back to the Playoff starting lineup which Ive been endorsing from the start....But yall carry on.....

Werent you the one that wanted to start Dre and Cam and bring Huerter and Bogi off the bench?

Not with the way he's playing in College Park.

Then the Hawks still need a backup point guard.  There is nothing that Wright does that impresses me.
