Patty Mills sparked the team in that 2nd quarter.

12 and Bogi were huge in that quarter scoring wise.

Hawks up by 6, after being down as much as 12.

 

Very good guys.  Keep it rolling.

Honestly, watching.. 2 starters down..  Embiid dominating.  But then Bogi pulled out the FIBA.  Sidiq said I will touch the ball on every rebound and Hunter said, I can't lose like this at home... and next then you know...

Spoiler

 

[Diesel]

Keep up the second quarter EFFORT!!

Sidiq has touched the ball on every offensive rebound.  Defense is defensing.  And Bogi has the FIBA...

 

[terrell]

Just feed Bogi. He is the second best offensive player on th team. The offense should run through him whenever Trae isn’t on the floor.

He can shoot, pass and dribble. He should get 15 shots a game...

[BrazilianHawk]

 Good first half. Let's see if they can keep it up. Go Hawks!

[Diesel]

If you didn't know our record and listened to every stat that they put forth about us... You'd think we were leading the league...

• Trae, first in Clutch points. 
• We're third in steals. 
• We're third in fast breaks. 
• We're second in scoring. 
• We're top 5 in something else.
• Trae 2nd in Assists. 
• Dejounte top 5 in steals.  

Damn...

Bogi is the f&@kin man.  He’s one of two Hawks in the Real Plus Minus Top 40 (Bogi 30th, Trae 37th). 
 

I won’t defend Sadiq against criticism but I just don’t do it myself.  Despite his defensive woes his grit and shooting on offense is a helluva combo.

Trent made a couple very nice passes, forced a trip to the line, and got away with a shot to Patrick Beverly as he brought the ball up lol.

The difference in the game is turnover margin, Hawks +4.  If they can continue to protect the glass and crash it they can pull this major upset.

This team is underachieving.

You ever wonder why we don't get down with what you say...

I agree that we have underachieved some.. mainly certain players... but mostly, we've been without our starting PF.   I think our fastbreak is better with JJ on the break and we've been missing that.  His rebounding is missed too.

This is what I mean about the officiating.  That foul on Clint was good defense.

I agree but we were really depending on player development and the only guy that improved so far is JJ. OO doesn't look like a starting center and AJ can't get on the court. Plus, the defense is still porous despite Trae's improvement on that side of the court. I wasn't expecting this team to have to fight to get back to .500 this season.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Murray went into Globetrotter mode there.  Had Clint under the basket for an easy 2.

Maybe he couldn't see around Embiid?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Capela . . . smh

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

!2's shot is on tonight.  Just need him to be more active on the other end.

21 again!

He might get his name back.

[Jody23]

Great effort from DeAndre!

Dre with a step back three and a hop step pull up. 

He can’t dribble worth a damn, but you can tell those 2 moves he has worked on. He pre programmed both of those at half time.. lol

[hawkman]

Late foul call on Patty.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hawks gave by 7 points that quarter, but still only down by 1 going into the 4th.

12 is shooting the ball very well, even has 7 rebs ( after having almost goose eggs in the 1st quarter )

Murray having a decent game, but needs to be more decisive on some of his possessions

Bogi had very good offense in the 2nd. Need a duplication of that in these next 5 minutes.

Solid minutes from Mills and Forrest.  Horrible minutes from the Matthews Brothers.

 

Murray, you're a top 30 player in the league.  We need to see that in this quarter.
