I couldn’t stop grinning that whole second half!

I think DJM’s defense and rebounding efforts are contagious to the rest of the team.

Sorry y’all it’s my job, no one else will tell you. 

Hawks full regular and playoff winning percentage with Trae starting is .432.  When he’s on the bench looking like the replacement Migo it’s .461.

I can’t debate about his impact anymore just stating facts.  Let’s go.

Could you recalculate that for the last three years only please?  Thanks.

C'mon man. This again? 

2 years of deliberate tanking for high draft picks.

No we have to count the year we played with Alex Len as our full time starting center and Prince Bembry and Bazemore as our wings. If only Trae had been injured more often in those early years the team would have been a lock for a playoff spot.

The AJ Griffin game. 

On draft night, I told y'all it was crazy this kid fell to us. 

Great team win. 

Let's freaking GOOOOO!

Jalen Johnson is a defensive beast.  The Bench Mob stepped up and won this game.

Nate has to play AJ more no matter what. 

Edit: OO came up big too. 

Dejuante with the double double.  

When this team clicks we are going to be tough to beat.

That's TWO solid games from JJ... maybe he has turned the corner. AJ needs to get 20 mins a game from here on out, anything less is just dumb. Hawks were actually pretty dynamite the first 9 games when their starting unit was on the floor and were pretty awful when either Murray or Trae was sitting on the bench. I think tonight might have given some of the depth the confidence they need to be a continuous factor.

Best win of the year by far. Complete team basketball on both ends of the court. 

[RandomFan]

BOOM. 

Go Dawgs!

Bogi is gonna have to go OFF to squeeze in some playing time once he’s healed. 
AJ can bring the heat and gives some defensive effort. 3 steals, Bogi. You hear that? And no more take fouls allowed.

Rough start but AJ got in the game and the Bucks got cold from three and it flipped. Our defense on Giannis has been incredible during both matchups and if we didn't get jobbed in game 1 we could easily be currently 2-0 this year against the Bucks, which is impressive.

Don't feed the narrative, just ignore like the rest of us.

Watching OO dunk on Giannis was just about as satisfying as watching the UGA DBs in the backfield sacking the QB everytime Tennessee went to pass.
