We just can't have nice things.

 

Yes we can.

We get something nice . . . then throw it in the trash . . . then dig it out of the trash again . . . and might throw it right back in the trash.

I feel like these guys are coming together. I know the competition isn't top tier, but I like how connected they look.

There you go Dre..

Tanking teams and teams sitting out players.

Excellent defensive sequence by Trae around the 1:50 mark that culminated in his on ball deflection leading to the DJ dunk.  John pointed his switch out from the corner and he got on it, hedged very well with jab steps, floated around some weak screen attempts, and flat out shoved the Sixers out of targeting him.  

@JayBirdHawk  $100 Glen Willis gonna tweet the clip lol.

After 1 quarter

 

Bey - 2 threes 

Collins - 1 three 

Murray - 1 assist 

The Murray stat might make this one impossible

Washington was a different story but the BUs for a good team are never a pushover, anything can happen in a game obviously.  A blowout win here and a solid victory versus Boston’s BUs are quality wins.

A little Mitten action leading to a highlight reel lob and dunk. I like it.

[terrell]

Come on Trae.. The turnovers....

And I need a .50 fg % game from you..

Korkmaz is truly one of the worst players in the league my god.

McClung sighting wtf?!  Deadass tho his performance at the dunk contest was legendary.

Such a great inbounds lob pass by Jalen.  Bogi got off a decent look

The Hawks are trying to put me to sleep.  Let's start the fourth quarter strong and make some space please.

Trae brick mason.. Geez.. Will I ever get a .50%Fg game from this dude again?

Gonna need him to hit some of those 3's vs Miami..

Playing well other than shooting and turnovers..

With the Raptors on their way to a large margin loss, the Hawks winning or losing this game no longer matters.  
Heat just lost and Nets are about to win.
So, we'll be the 8th seed playing the Heat.

Jalen is a f&@kin amoeba man.  One play he slashes like Peak Rudy Gay.  Next play he’s fronting and pushing Ded into a bad shot.  So hyped for him and AJ next year with an additional 500 minutes or so.

We shouldnt want it any other way.. We have to get that Heat monkey off of our back....

I cant believe this game is this close..

Yes I can..............................

 

[benhillboy]

Then Jalen drives from the wing and hits OO on the middle cut.  There are some PGs who can’t do that lol.

Next play, gets lost on assignment and gives up open 3 to Niang. The talent is there, it's getting the mental mistakes to a min.

Would still like to win these last 2 games. Losing to 76ers backups and whatever G league team the Celtics will trot out on Sunday would be a bad look. Go into the Play In with some momentum.
