I had to sit thru the west coast broadcast and their announcers cried and moaned anytime we got a call…

Kings fans are crying on Twitter that DJM pushed off on Fox on that game winning breakaway layup. That was a flop.............

Your boy with the tip of Fox . HUGE! 
 

Ps Huerter fans.. he messed up a couple times late. 4:44 to go in the 4th with a bad pass as well as again with a couple min left.

DM with the beautiful rip. Before that the AND 1! 
 

Kudos to Hunter he stepped up. JC was a mad. OO battled Sabonis in a fun physical matchup. 
 

Here is DM with the rip again.

Notice what happens when JC's usage goes up and he's involved in the offense. There's a lot more space on the perimeter with pick and roll, allowing our guards to work. The fact it took a Capela injury for Nate to make this change is all the evidence needed to let him walk after this season.

How do we incorporate this JC when CC returns from injury?
He is averaging 20.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks in his last 5 games.
Shooting 56/33/72% with 63.9 TS% and 117.9 Offensive Rating
Maybe stagger their minutes with JC/OO and JJ/CC

I mean...I think we know this answer to this question, but it's a hard pill to swallow. I personally just try to forget about it. Wait for something to happen or maybe we go on a run like we did 2 seasons ago.

 CC clogs the paint on offense...... But he helps us so much defensively.. Rock and a hard place.... lol

So I was looking through some All-Time Hawks leaders after Trae crossed 8,000 points tonight.

Fun fact, JC and Clint have the top 2 FG% seasons in Hawks history

Field Goal Pct
1.    Clint Capela    .608
2.    John Collins    .554
3.    Mike Glenn    .553
4.    Al Horford    .535
5.    Tree Rollins    .529
6.    Dikembe Mutombo*    .529
7.    Cliff Levingston    .528
8.    Josh Childress    .522
9.    Antoine Carr    .516
10.    Walt Bellamy*    .508

 

2-Pt Field Goal Pct
1.    John Collins    .611
2.    Clint Capela    .608
3.    Dewayne Dedmon    .579
4.    DeMarre Carroll    .557
5.    Mike Glenn    .554
6.    Mike Muscala    .547
7.    Al Horford    .545
8.    Josh Childress    .543
9.    Tim Hardaway Jr.    .537
10.    Cliff Levingston    .530

 

Thought that was pretty neat and a testament to them playing with an All-Time great passer.

Thought he would have been higher on the list. Surprised JC is that high, CC not so much all he does is dunk with JC bunnies and treys a bit.

True, but I was thinking even before tonight, if our defense (and subsequently winning) is so tied to 1 player, it sucks that it's a guy that seems pretty brittle at this stage of his career.

We need a 3rd defensive big man to compensate for Clint's wear and tear.

Deke would probably have a higher % in this era.

Yeah I just looked in to it and I read these wrong, these are not their Hawk's season high percentages but their Hawk's career avg. FG%.

Your point still remains though!

Lord,

Give us the ability to play well enough in this 4th quarter to get a win tonight.  We need this for our sanity Lord.

In Jesus name I pray

Amen

 

The fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  Go Northcyde!!!

Great win! It's all about closing the deal, and we finally made the cruicial plays to win the game.

[BrazilianHawk]

Good game. We finally found a team that would play as miserable a defense as the Hawks sans Clint. 

 

It doesn't matter, a win is a win and we needed it badly.

Trae shot less with better efficiency, it's a good thing that JC, 3ogi and Dre were able to score a lot. I'll gladly have more of that, thank you.

Has anybody noticed that Nate has put some more plays inthe offense????

I recognize that we have the double staggered PNR back!!!

It hasn't been hella successful yet but it's good to see it back.  It will work.

Yeah, I thought it was actually well done question-wise.  All the questions were the 'right' ones.  It just kinda felt misplaced, for lack of a better word.

Those tend to be lighter interactions, especially after a win.  Ask about the big play he made, congrats on the W, move it back to Bawb.

She did a good job.  I just started to cringe a little by the 3rd probing question.

Don't get me wrong, this sounds like criticism but on a scale of 1-10, I'm at like a 2.  I like lil' Lauren.
