Official Game Thread: Kings at Hawks

[Atlantaholic]

Everybody outside of Trae and Capella in the starting lineup has been a major disappointment. I mean I guess Hunter has been Hunter but most of us probably expected for him to look more like the sophomore version but looks like we may never get that version. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

I kid you not.  Trae is literally 4 - 4 from that exact location on the floor.

Them damn coaches shirts ain’t it.  They look like AKAs posing for a picture 

[NBASupes]

We needed every point from Trae.

[Atlantaholic]

Pretty remarkable we are 11-7 with how much key pieces are struggling. Goes to show what playing defense can do. Last year we needed every single player hitting on all cylanders to guarantee a dub. 

[MaceCase]

Mike Brown about to unleash his super secret 10 point play.

[Peoriabird]

Ugly 2nd half on offense but a win is a win

[terrell]

Good win..

Trae might be hitting his stride...

We Gotta get DJM going somehow. He looks mid as hell on offense..

JC sabotaging any trade value he had left.

Good to see the rookies contributing...

I predicted Huerter would score 14 or less..

Got that one right.. lol

12-7 after Friday night.. 

[MaceCase]

John unleashed all his anguish from this game on that one rebound.

This is not the 90s.  A hard foul in that situation can lead to a technical foul.

I should’ve said “wrap up.”  You right tho they prolly still would call a tech smh

The defense has been good and JC has been good on D for us this year. Our defense been good this year

Yea are defense is for real. I have no doubt about that. The offense is perplexing. How has Collins become the worst offensive player at his position? Murray is playing the worst I'v ever seen him play. At least Trae has broken out of his slump and has the pep back in his step. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

And for those of you who hate the  . . . he's 12 - 2 on the season on shots behind the line that I drew, which is about 30 feet out.

Clint has been phenomenal and deserves all the praise for the first part of this season

This is the norm, when it comes to the Hawks being victorious.

If they trade CC someone needs to be kicked out of the NBA...

JC 0-7 from 3. We gotta get better 3 pt shooting from our 3 and 4 positions.

He had a very slow start but the last 10 games or so he has been the exact player he was two years ago. That is to say All Star level DPOY candidate.

Good win against a great Kings team.  We need Dejounte to get back in form. He's struggling and Collins is struggling from the field on offense, but playing great defense. 

AJ Griffin once again was the smartest player on the floor.  His defense was not the best, but it still is impressing me. 

JJ- showed us some good flashes.

A. Hol - Doesn't pass to anyone but his brother and takes difficult shots. 

CC - Has been a beast!

Glad we are at 11-7.  This was a big win to keep us at the top of the Eastern Conference.

Edit:  For all the three point watchers.  The Hawks were 11-30 tonight.

Dre made them when we needed them but JC gotta give us more. Sacramento wasn't even guarding him
