Bro, have you seen us play all year?  That was the easiest prediction since I predicted the coaches wouldn't vote Trae an allstar. 

Yeah, they've blown their share of double digit leads in the 2nd half. It makes it hard to know if they've really turned the corner. That Charlotte loss still stings.

Low page count.  Ho-hum, must be a Hawks win.

And thanks to the Hawks, I win my first bet of the year.

Nice modest windfall for the night.

Two dubs in a row against two west coast playoff contenders… I’ll take it.  

[terrell]

Good job by Dre and OO tonight.

It's kinda crazy how JC always disappears on O in the second half...

Good job by Nate for sitting him when he did...

Yeah for whatever reason JC can’t hit his open shots in one the halves. Either first or second. Crazy how we use to refer to him as Mr. Efficient. We really do live in a “what have you done for me lately?” Kind of world.

He's efficient in the paint. He took 10 shots, 7 of them 3s...any gane where he has twice as many 3s as 2s  is not the best use of his skillset.

More than a little worried about our legs for tomorrow night.

[Atlantaholic]

Haven't been able to watch the games but looks like the last two wins may be the most impressive back to back wins all year. Clobbering of Phoenix and a fairly comfortable win against the Jazz on the road while our team is starting to string together some good health is something to build on. At least looking just at the box score seems the ball is moving around a lot more with the team averaging around 27 assists the last five games.

That last point is definitely true and Nique was harping on it all night. "When we get to 30 assists" was heard at least 10 times tonight I think.

We've been putting things together for a while.

We just ran into a good shooting Clipper team.  We let one get away in PTL.  I can't tell you what happened against Charlotte. 

We have to do away with dumb mistakes and turnovers... and we need to continue to rebound and play uptempo. 

 

 

[RedDawg#8]

Just win baby

[Sothron]

Two big wins in a row. Hopefully we get another big one tomorrow. 

[Spud2nique]

Wow what an encore to the Suns game! We came out with the intensity and energy from the tip. The energy on d is for sure turnt up and we been playing with pace on offense…FINALLY! We are built to run teams off the floor and play with a fast pace. 
 

Hats off to my boi Okongwu, coming through with a double double 15/11 off the pine. Capela active as well. 
 

Hunter may have had his best overall game as a Hawk. He was hitting everything including the game clinching 3 to put us up 7 and essentially end it.

Enjoy this win and on to Denver to face the joker ! 
 

GO HAWKS!!!!!

Collins has been regressing as a player for years. In almost every category.

Not now it isn't since he lost his shooting ability.

Some good wins. Hopefully they don't offset them with a string of losses like before.

[Final_quest]

In our last 9 road games we have gone 7-2.
