We traded two scrubs and got three high quality backup rotation pieces. 

Cant wait to see what Bey can do.. We need some offense in the 4th qtr..

A much needed win. It was too close for comfort with how many times we could stretch the lead to around 20 points but kept letting them come right back into the game.

We 100% need this level of Trae the rest of the season and into the playoffs. He was a stone cold killer out there with his shooting, his passing and yes his defense and rebounding. He had too many turnovers but I'll take that every game if I get more of everything else he did tonight.

Why does that Wainwright guy have tattoos of Garbage Pail Kids on his shoulders?

Hunter really needs to work on his handle.  Get a coach already.

Dre been working on his handle for years.. Even when his knee was bad he could work on ballhandling..... It is what it is..

We was too wild tonight with some of the turnovers from Griffin, Dre, Murray, and Trae. Shooting was inconsistent but I felt the effort was there and we communicated well. Maybe @TheNorthCydeRises is right about us being able to have a great record in this stretch.

Lol. The last four tweets from the Hawks are all about JC. Think they feel guilty about trading/not trading him?

Thanks lw3! Hawks by 10!

Welcome Bey the 2 way! 

@LongTimeFan off by 1 point. Did you know that Fox from the Kings learned the game by playing 2K! True story.

Ayton is just a good rebounder at best whereas Capela is a great rebounder.

Ayton is not a good rebounder.  
Ayton is an area rebounder.  Which means, he gets the rebounds if they fall in his hands.   Sorta like Dre. 

 

[Spud2nique]

Great game just finished watching. We did what we had to and came in an took care of it. Hunter looked good, Trae was hitting his deep ones (which they said on the telecast will dramatically increase % wise in the 2nd half of the year and I agree). JC killed Landale with that dunk. 
 

By the way, WHERE ARE THE FOLKS WHO KEEP PUSHING LANDALE? He blows! 
 

They also kept harping on Ayton and his 1 board through 3.5 quarters. How does he not rebound the ball, meanwhile Capela was OWNING him on the glass and everywhere else. 

 

Great win. Now everybody can chill and play loose nobody is getting dealt. 
 

Welcome Saddiq! 
 

GO HAWKS!!!!

That's what he looks like!  A garbage pail kid.  Couldn't figure it out but that's what it is.

Thank you!  Who were all the folks lamenting us letting him go.  Dude sucks.

Amazing to catch Phoenix without Booker, KD, and all the other guys involved with the trade.  Call it the Capela vs Ayton case study game.  Team Ayton took a serious hit.   

Trae brings 55 points of offense on average, yet not an allstar.  Let's start the revenge tour.

Indeed.

[Spud2nique]

My boy doubled doubled 11/11, I love his rebounding prowess he yanks those rebounds down old school style like a MAN! Grrrrr!!! Reeeaar! 

[Gray Mule]

UGLY WIN!

Why do I say this?  Very short handed Suns Played hard to the end despite the unexpected great rebounding of the Hawks.  Atlanta had 19 turnovers.  Ugh.  They missed 7 free throws!  Ugly stuff.

Suns are really gonna shine now with everything that has happened before the trade deadline.

I am really excited about our new Hawk players.  Perhaps we will dress them out for our next game,  Nate might let them on the floor before the season ends!

[Spud2nique]

You gave up the keys to the city to a snake named KD.

 

My city.. GTFO YOUNGUN ITS CONNIE HAWKINS CITY ITS KJ’S CITY, it ain’t YOUR CITY. Book a fool.

 

Message to Booker:

Folks will be in your city and will prolly trash the dickens out of it. If it’s your city, pick up a broom and sweep the fcker after the Super Bowl. Until then, shut up and sit on the bench.
