Only you would complain about our star player who has 28 pts - 11 assists, - ( +4 ) for the game, and is giving effort on defense.

It's expected though.

Yeah Im over the turnovers.. lol.. Trae is a risky/Flashy passer. That's just how he plays.. As long as he tries on Defense Im happy. It feeds off on everyone else.... You know he's gonna give us offense...

Who’s the best player in the NBA who went to USC?  Whoever it is OO coming.

Did not know both Derozan and Vucevic went to USC.

I’m certainly no expert on Covid, but anyone have an idea why the rash of positives for the NBA has seemingly come to a halt?  I’m so pissed it delayed the chemistry we see now for a couple weeks.

I’m guessing it has to do with them stopping daily testing. You aren’t getting all of the asymptomatic cases we saw earlier in the season.

Well that's a fine! LOL

 

Trae: "Tony Brothers said to me, "do you know how many years I've been calling this league?" and I said, "I don't give a damn!".

Wonderful!  We are now solid in 10th place.  Imagine, a brag because we're under .500 by one game and we are 10th.  Consider where we had to come from to get this high.  Just think of how good he would be if he learned to make his free throws.  Yeah, him.  Our all star.

We can always play better.  But, it's a win and I'll take it!

Tomorrow we do this again.  Rest in a hurry team.

Don't care about individual wins except playoff wins.  I care about how the team plays.  If they play well and get beat, I'm not upset. the other team just got them but if they continue to play dumb and their opponent is just too sorry to take advantage of it or someone hits some luck shots they normally don't hit to win then I'm not impressed.

This post is completely nonsensical…

Eta .... but OkongWOW is indeed coming. 

It ain’t gonna take OO 13 years to peak lol.  More like a 4-5 year peak period.

Did anybody else hear Nique say  " Wow that bankshot is going to be very hard from that spot"..  Nique talking about Westbrook bricking a shot..

I've noticed that Uncle Nique is very nice to everybody.

He’s got a ways to go to get to Vuc overall.  Vuc couldn’t dream of reaching OO defensively though even being generally underrated.

John Collins was 10-13 early in the game...Did not get another shot opportunity.  zero shots in the 4th. SMH

Do care about every win.  Only care about playoff wins.  John Collins didn't not get a shot the last 16 minutes of the game.  I find that very strange.

Don't make this a thing man!

JC had 3 shot attempts during his stint in the 3rd quarter.  He left the game with 3:55 left in the 3rd. Hawks dug themselves a hole to start the 4th down 10. The bench plus Trae did Yeomans work getting us back in the game.

JC returned with 3:58 left in the 4th Hawks up 3.  It was the OO Show and well deserved.

Because you don't understand basketball and how to win consistently because you are just a fan.

Happens to John a lot.  A lot more than any other player on this team.  If Trae, Gallo or Bogi for that matter were 10-13, they may have played the entire 4th quarter and put up 10 more shots.  That doesn't happen to John and he has complained about it to no avail

As @JayBirdHawk mentioned, Nate did an EXCELLENT coaching job.  We have a back to back tomorrow and the only starter to play more than 26 minutes was Trae who had 37. 

Great job.  Toronto's starters played 50+ minutes last night so they may feel like they are coming off a back to back.

Oh yeah.  Got me reading Andy Enfield’s Wikipedia page.  He’s clearly a PF Whisperer lol.

There's another opportunity to move up in the standings with a win tomorrow. Would have been nice if Miami beat Toronto last night.

We can be the 8th seed by the end of tomorrow if the Hawks can beat Toronto and Maimi beats Boston.
