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.

I agree as long as we get a true superstar back. If we can’t do that, we should keep him. I saw DJ give up on a few plays tonight but I still don’t believe we win this game without him tonight.

Shout out to Trae putting in the work to get Kuminga to foul out in the fourth. I knew that would be big if they went into OT, and GS definitely missed him. 

he really just stood there and let kuminga slap his arms 3 times in front of the ref. funny how gsw cried about that foul

No disrespect to Jalen...

But Trae gave you 35 on 56/64/80 % shootings.  7 three pointers.  And Trae don't get no mention???

They don't want you to see Trae Cooking!!

 

 

Trae ate them alive this evening lol. When he plays like this no team in nba can beat Hawks!

Love this win. But I’d still like to know why AJ can’t get minutes. Would have loved to see him get some of Matthew’s minutes. If he isn’t going to play and needs to develop the send him to the G league at least. 

Gotta get AJ back on track. If the Hawks are going to be cheap, they have to grow from within. There's too much talent there to let it rot on the bench. Last season was not a fluke. It's obvious he needs to be 100% mentally and I think he can only get there by playing and seeing the ball go in the basket a few times. The Hawks need to get him back in the rotation even if it's only for a few minutes a game.

Trae has to be HIGH on the player of the week conversation

• 30 pts - 12 asst - 2 stls
• 26 pts - 13 asst - 1 stl
• 32 pts - 15 asst - 3 stls
• 35 pts - 6 asst - 1 stl

Total:  4 - 0 record

• 30.8 pts
• 11.5 asst
• 1.8 stls
• 51% FG
• 60% 3FG

 

If they count the week starting on Monday, it's even more ridiculous

Total:  3 - 0

• 31 ppg
• 11.3 asst
• 1.7 stls
• 57% FG
• 65% 3FG

Murray just continues to show that he's a top player in this league.  The trade offers from other teams have been embarrassing.  This current win streak probably doesn't change Murray's desire to be somewhere where he has the ball in his hands more.  But, it should expose how ridiculous the low balling has been and how stupid it would be to salary dump him to avoid the luxury tax next season.  Murray is an All Star level player.

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.

But they never played this many minutes together before. I don’t remember a single DR given up with both on the floor

Man why the refs didn't let Klay take his viagra before hitting the court?  Was he point shavin' tonite?  

[kg01]

I mean, that boy Klay looked cooked tonite.  He looked like a decorative vase.

(Who gets it?)

I would think players would prefer not to get spontaneous erections in the middle of a game. Might be a little awkward,

What a game.  @AHF I'm not gonna do it butchu know I wanna do it....

@Spud2nique how you feelin!!!

 

Wowwww!!! Loved it just finished it with the special lady. She saw us go 3-1 in her brief watching week. We only lost to Luka but tonight … My boy OO showed he’s ready to start baby! JJ is a godsend and Trae is a superstar with Murray the closer and Quin the genius architect. HAWKS SOARRRRR!!!  

@JayBirdHawk @kg01 who gets gumball TEAM or OO?

He gotta be taking some kind of performance enhancers if this is what he normally plays like.  Sheesh.  He looked like broke-knee Bogi from last year.

The swiped by Trae. Has he been watching Gary Payton videos? No joke, the way he has been swiping the last 2 games is eerily reminiscent of the glove and his steals.

Man, Superstars add to their games, it’s not a cliche and Trae did WORK and it’s showing. Kudos to this kid boy are we blessed.  

OO played like I always thought he should and could, he played BIG AND STRONG!

I called him a glorified broken shooting machine but I like vase and tide much better. Respect

I kept saying to myself, atta boy, keep shooting Klay.  

Then at the end of reg the camera caught him practicing catch and shoot motions before the inbound.  He was hiding in the far corner.  Trae took off on a hop over there when he found him.  I started shaking my head like mannnnn, if he ends up hitting this shot here….

He had a torn Achilles. They say that's one of the worst, if not the worst injuries a basketball player can have.
