[MaceCase]

Never take the turnover, they’ll blame Trae.

Good win..

The one game that I don’t watch and we up by 20+…

 

We got up as much as 26 in the first half.

Then had a disaster of a 3rd quarter that saw the lead get cut to 2 at one point.

Hawks, led by Trae, Bogi, and Frank, took us home in the 4th.

Good win in spite of the 3rd quarter debacle. We needed that one. 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

12 turnovers total for the game . . . despite 7 in the 3rd quarter alone.

[terrell]

Keep hanging around .500 until we can get some guys healthy.

A winning streak would be nice though.. lol

[Sothron]

I wish we could play the Hornets every game. We needed this win tonight.

I have a feeling tonight's game is going to be like watching a car wreck.  You feel sorry for whomever is involved... but you just have to look to see if there's any blood or bodies.  

Oh ME of little faith...

The Hornets are good enough to make the game exciting but not good enough to win. 

That's a perfect tank.

Damn... We got to play Orlando next....

They are not tanking.

Someone said, "The next steal Big Frank gets will be his first."

Well, well!  Tonight he got one!

He was one of the big three for the Hawks.  His very best game for Atlanta!  AJ Griffin had a nice game.  Scary way to open the 3rd quarter.  Glad we survived that.

Oubre always struck me as a Turkish League player, and not even an elite one.  Rozier should get dual citizenship and only be seen every 4 years with the Senegalese National Team.

i had a feeling that they would win... even after coming in the first quarter looking young.

They are fundamental.   They play good defense. They rebound.  And they go for threes and when that's not working, they go for twos.   Fultz is a bully (and a bit of a dirty player)... and when they put Fultz and Cole on the floor together, they shut down the Celtics.   It was no Luck. 

They play Boston again Sunday.. and we catch them on the 2nd night of a BTB...

Should be interesting.

I don't think he was in shape at the start of the season

He was not. He was coming off a serious injury last season. He also had reason to play well tonight as it was his old team that drafted him we were playing against. That was by far the most animated and into a game we have seen Frank as a Hawk.

I can't help but notice how when we win a game the game thread is like 8 pages. When we lose it is like 21 pages and 70% of the posts are from three negative Nancies.
