If we can hold it in the road

Seriously. Going to be so very tested in these days leading up to the trade deadline. Not a lot of time in the friendly confines. But then again, this is a team that's occasionally shown some seeming preference to have drunk and insane people yelling at them when they're trying to win a game, right Knicks fans?

Looking like contenders at the trade deadline.  Classic Hawks.  Eh.  I like these guys.  Weould like to pick up a sniper off the bench somehow.

JJ is capable and should be playing more minutes. Trae, DJM, Hunter, JC, Cap, Bogi. OO. AJ. and JJ, 9.

His play has looked more under control recently.

Since no one has mentioned it, I will.

Hawks have a four game winning streak after signing Favors !!

GO ATL HAWKS !

I'm doing a deep dive to figure out if the win streak is a result of signing Favors or Korver becoming Asst. GM.  Will let you know once I've run through all the potential causals.

I was speaking just in general.  I refuse to look at the actual schedule in my assessment.  As I'm sure you know, that's a futile exercise for this team which has shown the ability to beat the '96 Bulls one night and lose to the 8th grade girls JV team the next night.

I want JJ to get minutes too but last night it was 22, 24, 33 for CC, OO, JC.   Who are  you taking minutes from ?

You know what the answer is.

I'm going with : JC trade rumors heating up.

It is the year to year consistent factor in our trade deadline season turn arounds.

Funny (?) thing.

The pledge ended, and actual assessment of this season began as of last Wednesday's game vs. MIL.

You don't think that maybe that had anything to do with it (???).

[macdaddy]

Let's tell the guys that the trade deadline is extended to May 1 and everyone is on the block. 

[QuantumHawkz]

On this four game winning streak the Hawks have dominated the paint, not force three's and played with more energy on defense.....this is the formula for the rest of the year.

Hanging my hat on Capela.

He matters. A lot.

Yeah he does.  it's interesting since he came back he seems to be playing more relaxed and under control than normal.  Like having to watch out for re-injury is actually helping him.  No more of these panic'd shots at the rim.

Of course it's JC... they want to make sure that JJ can escort more people to the goal so that they can get a monster dunk on a rebound. 

JJ and OO has got to get into a Boxing Out Course soon.  The offseason may not be soon enough.   Can somebody give them an override.

Bogi, he was struggling in the 2nd quarter.  Hunter and OO were in foul trouble all game.

I'm on the @TheNorthCydeRises  train from last year about sometimes playing big with Gallo at SF.  I think JJ is capable of playing SF in certain instances.  He played SF against Brandon Ingram early in the season and did well on defense.

Ha! And you guys made fun of Nick Ressler for using 2k as his guiding beacon for how to run the team! It obviously knows all.

Hadn't seen that, and, well, of course, that's out of my control.
