Charlotte is in process of blowing its lead against Milwaukee. 

This could be a profitable week for the Hawks if they can win out.

Its a close game...East is so competitive right now..

@kg01 real question.  Have you talked to your BIL about Duncan Robinson turning into a polished turd after signing that $90 million contract? 

He did it for the Kulture!

Anyone besides me think Jent  and Carlisle were separated at birth?

Actually that's Carlisle and Jim Carrey that are separated at birth.

This was a tough one.

Trae was excellent for three quarters, but he needed to be better at managing the game in the fourth. 

John Collins was the best player on the floor tonight. His defense was excellent.  I don't know who needs to hear this, but John is playing like a max player. 

Kevin played great.

We had a lot of TLC haters, but he is serviceable and Solomon Hill should remain on the bench. 

Good win!  

On to Philly!

Kevin shot well, but I don’t think he played well.  Haven’t looked at the box score yet, but I counted 5 turnovers in the first half off of a whole bunch of terrible passes.

 

I’m a TLC hater, but only on the offensive end.   He shoots way too much for a player of his standing.   There’s a reason he’s open.  Stop shooting unless it’s a wide open catch and shoot corner 3 at the end of the shot clock and I can live with him in the lineup.

sore upper arm

Did you opt for the left or right? I took it in the left since I’m a righty.  Not sure if that helps in any way.. lol.

Hopefully no more than some soreness.

He did have four turnovers, but his shooting was excellent and defense was solid.  It was a good game. His turnovers did not come at crucial points in the game. 

TLC shot 2-5 from three tonight. He only jacks up shots at the end of games. He was very solid on both ends of the floor tonight.  He's a much better shooter than Solo.

I was wearing my SAR Vancouver jersey while playing the 97/98 rosters on 2k22 on PS5. I still had it on until just now. Mrs. Sothron insisted I change out jerseys for Grandmama so we get back to our winning ways.  

I got the SAR alternate green jersey. We should wear them and be twins

There's not a PG in the league I would trade for him.  Not even for the guy in the Bay Area, if Trae is playing at this level.

I’ve never liked you as much as I do now. I’m smitten!

Just finished it. We played well, let it slip but pulled it out. These are the type of wins that good teams get and we got it despite being short handed.

JC’s effort is just awesome. 4 blocks! That’s just special. Is that a career high? TLC hit a couple big threes specially that last one. Delon balled out and had his best game as a Hawk.

And Trae, he passed Bird on 30/10 games.

JC with the blocks and Trae with the 30/10. 
 

Let’s enjoy this and get ready for Philly on Friday! 
 

Go Hawks!

Capela got worked tonight.  And Trae being 15 on that CAREER list in just over 3 years!  About to catch Air Jordan.  And way past sCurry (that’s for you )

We gotta face the facts on Clint. He's not good against offensive minded centers. His value is all rim/paint protection, defensive movement for a true center, running the court, setting screens and slipping for dunks and layups. Has he had one good game against an offensive center yet?

It's true, that's going to be a problem in the playoffs again. Hopefully OO will help.

OO played Embiid really well despite the refs whistling him for breathing on joel.  I look forward to his return

For anyone who wants to track it, Trae is on pace to climb in to the top 10 all time (and likely higher) this season passing guys like CP3, Dame, Jordan, Kevin Johnson, and DWade along the way.

He has an outside shot at catching Isiah as well who has 43. At his current pace he can totally do it, but his career pace is slightly slower than this season.

Harden, Lebron, and Russ are the only active players with some real distance between them and Trae. After them its Magic, Iverson and Isiah. Trae will be right there with those legends by the end of his 4th NBA season.

More records, more good company.
