Trae never even moved just watched.  That's BS.  Superstars don't do that chit.  

They all do that when there's no chance at catching a guy.

A win is a win. I'll take it. Whatever it takes to get over .500.

Yeah, but this win pisses me off. Such a lack of fundamental basketball.

Gave the fans something to complain about at the end, but glad to come out with the win.

Hats off to the bench, who was +20 tonight

[terrell]

Good win. Great game from Trae.. Murray defense closed it out...

Why does Nate to continue to have Bogi on the floor in closing D units?

[Guest]

Trae only scored one point in the fourth quarter and we still won.  Interesting.

The RARE win by the Hawks, when Trae is ( -11 ) for the game.  I don't know if that's ever happened.

Great job by the bench on defense.

[Q45T]

Glad we got the dub but they did everything in their power to lose that game… way too many turnovers in crucial moments.

[JayBirdHawk]

JC with the 2 clutch freethrows.

Talking about after that steal?  Do people want him to give up a sure and-1?

If Trae had done what SGA did on that last play?  Going hero-bawl 1-on-3?  Just to get blocked?  Shiiiiiii ........

Regular season is boring I heard

[NBASupes]

Hawks got stops late and that's what matters most. Some of those SGA misses were barely misses

True. But the ugly basketball stings a lot less when they win as opposed to some of the soul crushing losses I've witnessed this season. This absolutely feels better than that loss to Charlotte.

Shai was eating Murray’s lunch all night until Murray decided to pack that ish for him. 

[terrell]

Trae plays a near perfect 3rd quarter and gets rewarded by sitting 6 straight minutes to start the 4th....

A win is a win but Nate gonna Nate...

Exactly.  Like Trae was going to get a chase down block or strip vs a guy who is 6-7.

SGA didn't have time and situation in his head.  You either go hard to get the 2, or make sure you get fouled.  Can't do in between.  After he got blocked the 1st time, he should've been looking to pass it out to a shooter.

And you're right.  If Trae did that and doesn't convert, the fan base destroys him.

This was way too close but we won. That's all that matters. I expect our usual "not trolls" to be oddly quiet in this thread. Funny how a Hawks win is 6-8 pages, Hawks loss is like War and Peace extended version...
