Official Game Thread: Hawks at Wizards (2 of 2)

[benhillboy]

Trae marinating these dudes in jerk sauce, time to go in the oven

[Peoriabird]

Hawks need a center!

[JayBirdHawk]

Improved defense in the latter half of thev2nd quarter.

[benhillboy]

Dre kinda look like D’Angelo.  “How does it feeeeellll!”

[Peoriabird]

The 2nd unit plays better than the starters because of Okungwu on defense even though he is a mediocre rebounder.  Capela can't protect the rim anymore

[benhillboy]

Delon picked Trae clean as hell to close the half lol.  Gotta be elite to do so.

Checking in before I leave work and go home.  Saw the last 3 minutes of the 2nd quarter, and the Hawks looked very good on defense.  Forcing a lot of turnovers but the Wiz are still shooting 50%.

Let's get that down to 42% FG by the end of the game, and get out of DC with a win.

[benhillboy]

Dre out there trying to make @NBASupes proud lol.

[Peoriabird]

But paring Okungwu with Johnson is genius because Johnson can rebound his azz off

[terrell]

Up 6 on the road.. I'll take it..

If we get a legit big to play with Jalen we might set in the frontcourt in the future... 

JC, CC, and OO are underwhelming for way too many games.

OO did nothing out there. I like his D versatility though..

And what happened to JC rebounding?

At least OO and JC are playing good defense

Let's hope he can keep up this production in the 2nd half.  That's been his issue - disappearing after a strong first half. 5/8 fro 11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block.

We went from 32% shooting (with the Wiz at 63%) to 44% Hawks and 50% Wiz.
Nice turnaround.  

[terrell]

DJM since his career best game against Portland is 2 for his last 17 (12%) from 3 and is shooting 34% overall from the field in that span.. 

[Peoriabird]

Capela can't stop sh-t

[benhillboy]

Beal got the biggest calves of any non-dunker.  That said that bastard can shoot that ball.

[JayBirdHawk]

DJ, stop getting picked off and fight thru the screens.

[Peoriabird]

DJ is killing us!

[benhillboy]

Uh-oh Quinn is pissed.

[JayBirdHawk]

And just Like that, smh. Quin with the quick timeout
