Official Game Thread: Warriors at Hawks

[Chrimturn]

Team stepped up big in OT.  Could’ve collapsed after feeling like they should've won in regulation but they held it together and came out on top.  Stay the course!

Hawks have to make this work. The backcourt isn't the problem.

Unless you got an obvious trade like KAT that would clearly help Trae, Murray is the best option based on the bullshit teams want to offer.

Yep. JJ, OO, Capela all came through. 

The question is, can they be consistent? JJ is where he needs to be at this point in his development, but OO needs to be this active every game.

Way to go Hawks.  Front court showed up tonight.

Don't believe the hype of the Negatories. 

There are Negatories with an agenda....  Trae and DJ can work.

Honestly love DJ, we need to stop dangling him in the market unless a team is willing to give us a huge package.  
 

Great win, to beat the Warriors on a back to back when Steph drops 60 is nuts.  We couldve easily folded and lost but we didnt give up.

[ABH]

Focused !!!

[Nash]

Man, we need more Capela/ Okongwu minutes. They looked great tonight. 39 points and 31 rebound on 70% fg

Feels like OO starting to figure out what Quin wants from him

Who the hell is going to pay Klay 40 million a season? He is done!! Our frontcourt combined for 44 rebounds. I watched the game and didn't realize that JJ had 21 points.

Our biggest weakness this year by a mile has been the production from Clint and OO but recently, OO has stepped up and Clint had a good game today.

4 wins in a row.  Funny how certain posters never have internet access during these wins.

Great win, also love DJ, but we still need to move him if we can get good value back.  He's not bought in at all -- sold out a ton of possessions that game... might need to wait until the offseason though.

Yup! …I think an aggressive lengthy front court fixes a lot of issues.

easier said then done but put some aggressive bodies around these two and I would bet anyone shit changes.

tonight we got some good aggression out of the front court but it need to be consistent.

He's starting to look like what a lot of us were projecting towards the back end of his rookie year

I hope so. Maybe him overthinking while he was trying to figure things out slowed him down. He has to play with a high motor to be effective. 

[bird_dirt]

OO was like a Hoover sucking up those boards man. So good to see it, hope he recognizes what he’s capable. 

[LucastheThird]

This team is pulling me back in from the ledge. Let's all hope they can be consistent going forward.

 

[TheTruth]

Excellent win! Kept their composure and won it in bonus time.

Great game OO - but man are you such a tease! Gain some consistency and you truly could be an integral part of a winning Hawks team in the future instead of being a major disappointment so far this year.

A historic night from Steph just wasn't enough. Let's keep it pushing!
