Good Win Hawks.   Even before I looked, I knew that there would be less than 10 pages....   But I would never have expected just 4...

Oh Well, winning kills the moaning.

Yeah, but even the present complainers stopped complaining. 

However, you got a good point.

I think it was just me and @TheNorthCydeRises posting during the game.. lol

We out rebounded them 58-42, that was good. JJ is a baller and is back, that's great.

But fans probably dont have many other good feelings about narrowly beating a 6-26 team.

Especially after watching the Falcons stink up the joint.. smh

Well shucks....I didn't know we had an early game. 

We ended 2023 with a win! Now let's keep winning to begin 2024!

There was a lot to feel good about.   We came back from 14 down.  [] The point is .. IN the NBA.. Nothing comes easy.  Ask Toronto.

Same Washington team beat Mikal Bridges and Brooklyn on Friday.  And Brooklyn had everybody.  Nothing easy.

Thought those FT’s were gonna bite him.

In other news….Looks like it’s going to be 17-13 going in to half.  3 critical hours down…2 to go.  Hang on!

Offense failed them in the 2nd half.  Not sure what the Chiefs did to shut down Browning's short passing game.  But when they did, he started holding onto the ball way too long.

I agree with them going for it on that 4th down inside the 5.  I just hated the play call.

I tend to agree with you.  I didn't feel good about this win because we showed the same lackadaisical attention to detail.  We just outlasted it.  If 4 more minutes were on the clock, who knows....

And I'll take my panties off if I want to.

I never said I didnt feel good about the win.. We need all the wins we can get..  Dude just making up shit as usual.. lol.. But yeah that was a trash ass finish. We almost fkd it up like always..

I was just responding to @JeffS17 as to why the board was probably quiet...

And here comes Diesel like

Way too long.  Started to look like G Mat out there chasing ghosts, lol.

The play call…I know.  Trayveon Williams in there.  Maybe they hoped KC would think he wasn’t getting the ball.    Man that yard looked like it was even longer once they lined up.  Line looked way over loaded like there was gonna be no chance if they ran it.

Very nice end to the quarter.

We survied the "death quarter".

 

Now close this out going away.

And get Bruno and easy basket.  ( +11 for Bruno )

 

Trae with 24 pts - DJ with 25 pts - JJ with 20 pts ( only 1 basket this half ).

 

@benhillboy

 

Delon Wright ( -11 ) today so far

Yeah not his best day.  But Patty was +17 and Trae was -11, I’ll side with the +/- detractors today and call it bullsh*t

I was watching.  I just can't watch and post here and read posts all at the same time.  Falcons got blown away in the Chicago snow- storm.  Koo missed a bunch of field goals and Atlanta QB threw interceptions.

Hawks had to overcome a slow start when they couldn't score.  A carryover from their previous loss.  Then, late in the 4th quarter they had a nice, comfortable lead which they preceded to blow.  The score became really uncomfortable before the clock ran out, saving the Hawk's victory.

Hawks were both good and bad.  Terrible opening and closing.  Great in between.  I'll take the win with the end of the losing streak to end the year on a good note.

[GameTime]

Jalen Johnson is that dude

Guys he is capable of averaging:

20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.5 blocks on 60% FG shooting 40% from 3.

These numbers don't grow on trees.

KEEP HIM AT ALL COSTS

I watched the game but as usual I don't really post a lot in the game thread until after the game is over.

Why?

I'm old and my desktop PC is in another room from the living room TV. I'm not going back and forth to yell "why is Trae shooting 30 foot jumpers?" or "does Bey know how to pick up his man?"

Time for a laptop or a new phone that you can use to Squawk in game
