That's where I'm at.  

I mean - you got OO doing this, why gripe about JC's touches.

I believe that Nate has been doing an excellent Job of Coaching since he came back from COVID. 

If we make it to the top 3,  Nate deserves COY  and Trae should get some MVP votes.

On that first dunk, you have to see the VINCE and NIQUE Camera.

I think Vince almost ran out on the floor.

Tense game, glad we pulled through.

I like how JC dominated the first and OO the 4th. Need Dre to get back to form and have him do his thing.

when have those guys ever played the entire 4th in a similar circumstance.

Bogi played the entire 4th quarter in this game and Trae came back in with 9 minutes and 30 seconds to go in the 4th! My point is that those players would have been prioritized by Nate but John never is.

Matchups man matchups. LAL was playing AD plus 4 guards, Hawks had OO plus 3 guards and Gallo.  Bogi and Gallo can handle and make plays when teams doubled Trae.  Bogi hit some big shots and had some timely assists.  Nothing worth complaining about in regards to JC in this one....absolutely NOTHING

Yeah it does.  Y'all act like this team is the #1 seed.  Currently the team is still under .500

Okongwu is truly special. Completely changes the tenor of the defense when he’s in. 

He was the Real MVP of those Chino Hills squads..His instincts on defense are insane....

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

I’d rather spend that time looking at pictures of Andy Enfield’s wife.

So why Gallo?  What did he contribute?  Both Gallo and Bogi were +2  John was +10.  Ok never mind

I've been seriously under the weather today but glad to see the boys won based on the stats

You're right.  I'm a fan of good basketball not just a win against a bad team

They are on a 7 game win streak. They are playing better. Happy with an ugly win than a pretty lose. 

They have been playing excellently lately. You act like AD is chop liver and the Hawks should play perfect every game.

 

Not the Hawks . . . just Trae . . . and Bogi.
