in his career, he will figure it out... I just hope he does before he becomes Taurean Prince. 

Cam wishes with all of his being that his 3rd season was as good as TPs.

 

Prince 3rd season:

Reddish 3rd season

Onyeka OKongwo - 7 of 9 from the FREETHROW LINE.

If OO develops a shot lookout..

He started off good this year and then hit a dry spell but hopefully he has regained his form

[NekiEcko]

Trae, OO and Hunter can stay, everybody else can be traded.  Good Win tonight

Y'all still want to give up the farm for Towns?

 

If the "farm" is JC + Bogi + a few 1st rounders . . . you have to do that deal.

Id give up Collins and Bogi easy.. 

Did he even out play Collins tonight?

I actually think he will he has a solid shooting stroke in general and has nice touch.  Don't think he will ever be a good 3 point shooter but maybe 14 to 15 ft i think he will be above avg at it.

Cam was the 4th most productive Hawk in our rotation behind Young, Capela, and JC. Haters gonna hate

There were 2 game where he went 0-4, then 1-3.

I think OO will be an all star in this league

Stepped up defensive intensity. Outrebounded them in the 2nd half. Fewer TOs in the 2nd half. Outscored them in the paint in the 2nd half.

Oh. And MV-Trae made an appearance.

Shoutout to soon-to-be 2nd option D Hunter + Future DPOY OO (who I admit in underrating his talent). 

 

That's game. [INSERT WE'RE GOING STREAKING .GIF]

His defense is so freaking good. 

 

He will never have the defensive stat impact that Capela has because Capela is an elite weak side and paint protector because of his game. Okongwu defense actually helps us when we are in the playoffs.

Im ready to send CC to the bench.. lol

Imagine when Trae and OO get that chemistry..

Nah let’s just trade Trae he had 5 turnovers that were more impactful than his 37 points and 14 assist.

Its so refreshing not to worry about your center screwing up the offense i.e. blown bunnies, forced shots, missed free throws, no vision etc.

[NBASupes]

I'll trade the entire roster for a star. As long as it's not Okongwu or Trae. Those are the two who are untouchable. I love JC and Hunter but we can upgrade the 4 or 5. 

Okongwu like Horford can play everywhere.

Trae was dominant offensively and OO was dominant defensively.

You love to see.  OO is becoming my favorite Hawk.  To shutdown KAT the way he did was fantastic. 

I was wondering why Nate didn't let him guard KAT the first quarter. I guess he didn't want OO to get in foul trouble. He played foul free defense tonight.

The refs need to stop calling him like a rookie. 

Glad to get two in a row.  Tough matchup next game.
