Maybe its time to have another conversation about Capela.  Boy was he bad tonight.  Dude was barbecue chicken city, Hand of stone, Clumsy, slow.  I mean wow!

He struggled in the 1st half. Played well on defense in the 3rd with 2 big blocks.

Trae played really well IMO, his shot is just still broken.  Its early in the season though, he just needs a big game hitting from deep.  Keep leading the team with his playmaking it will come around.

Well, he shot 40%.  His three pointer is not there... but his floater is starting to come back.  He had some Nasty passes though.   The fake pass....then the wrap around...  yeah.

Patience... it will come.

Like I said earlier today.  I like that DJ knows what he can do and plays in that place and if the three ball starts to open up... take it.

Jesus, how good can this team be if Trae starts hitting more than 20% of his threes?

He's hitting 20% of his 3's?

He had JJ for a wide open dunk but took the dagger three which he bricked

Mrs. Sothron yelled "don't be selfish!" when that happened.

That was one of the most incredible games on a back to back that I have ever seen.  Congrats to the Hawks!!!

Get some rest and try to build on this one.

This was one of those games you'll talk about years from now. Hawks literally could not stop Minn at all in the first half. I think they shot like 70% in the first half? It was insane. And then....the basketball gods laughed. Unreal. It was like two separate games rolled into one. So glad we won this game. 

Sometimes, you get popped in the mouth... you get up mad.  

You don't have to do like Tyson Fury and wait for the judges to bail you out.

Just one game but tonite was huge.  Shows we're a different team.  Not the fact that we won, the fact that we stayed with it.  That's unusual for us but it's a fantastic sign.

Heyul, even the NYK game was a positive sign.  They made fang near 20+ 3's but we fought back to make it a 1 possession game .. that got fumbled by ham-hands.  Positive early signs, folx.

If you look at Capela's stat line, you'd think he sucked.   He actually played good positionally.  Start of the 2nd half, he was holding it down on defense for us.

It's a trap for all those who just stat watch.

I didn't want to say this since ppl think I want to derail threads about our ex coach but who else believes we could have had that comeback tonight if Nate was still here? Quin has made this team really buy in.

Well, in the end, Nate did lose the team.

However, don't act like we didn't make comebacks like this in our playoff run.   Did you forget so soon?

Did we really have 20+ point comebacks in that season?  Once we made the switch Bogi went ballistic and we didn't really trail in games that season from what I remember.
