I'm going to call it now: trade Hunter for lottery pick(s) and start AJ. This kid is going to be special. It is night and day watching him versus Hunter.

Hunter has been apart of this 7-3 start. If we are going to trade a wing it should be Bogi not Hunter.

but this of course is all too early. AJ looked great but I need to see more before giving the kid the full green light.

I fell asleep during the 2nd quarter, only to wake up this morning and check the reolay. 

Now THAT's a quality win! Great game by the young fellas, loved every single minute of the second half.

aj is and can be a real problem for everyone. he can shoot over most anyone and guard anyone with those condor wings.

Not sure which win I like better making every Knick’s fan cry real tears or seeing our past three draft picks beat down the undefeated Bucks.  
We got two stars in the back court.  Then you have Capela, JC and Hunter who are backed up by the guys we drafted recently.  AJ looks like a potential star.

Give Hunter credit for the good defense in the first half. He gets called for the softest fouls.

Exactly. We still need talent and depth to win at a high level.

I think the case with the Bucks is not that they thought that they could coast.  I think the case with them is really they are front runners.   You saw the breakdown in the third.   This is a team that doesn't play from behind well.   When they got behind, they desperately started trying to do the things that worked for them before.   Give the ball to Giannis and see what he could do... shoot a three.   That's something that Bud is going to have to work on because they panicked and gave up. 

Whereas our guys were never scared.   We went into a search and destroy mode.  WE ARE STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT WE'RE GETTING THERE...  12 MORE GAMES.

Love this, such confidence.

I wished he played more minutes vs Giannis Last game.

He got more minutes this game and brought the energy.

Hunter can still have his role (look at his defense against BI the other day). AJ on his rookie deal so no need to gut our depth. Down the line though...

Give me a reason why J Holiday (AKA Rodman Holiday) is getting minutes over Griffin? And don't say defense.

found you a reason, lol

Would Chicago be ignorant enough to trade Vucevic to the Hawks for Okgonwu and Capela to prevent paying him the max next season?

Why would the Hawks do this? We'd be the ignorant ones!

Vucevic is 32. Age is everything in sports, especially with trade value.

Glen Willis is one of my favorite follows when it comes to the Hawks.  He is always breaking down the action.  Actually, is there anyone else who analyzes our play at the level he does?  Most everyone else reports on the game outcomes and general news.  Seeing the Knicks and Philly fan TV and podcasts during the playoffs made me really jealous for more and better coverage on the Hawks.  

Jhol has shown up with a good game just when you are ready to give up on him.  Hoping he starts to play better consistently and still gets replaced by AJ and Bogi because they are studs.

This is a big, big win.  Glad me and @Spud2nique were all over this AJ kid in the draft 

And clearly, when OO sees Giannis, he turns into the Incredible Hulk.

Love, love, love this Deonte Mary guy ()

The scrap last night was off the charts.  Hoping we become one of those teams other folx don't wanna face.

[kg01]

I'm surprised how down people are on Hunter.  As is the case with Jollins, he's impactful although he's not being Tatum out there.

[Final_quest]

Largest hands in his draft class.  Putting that claw to work.

That was a quick foul for Giannis in Milwaukee.
