    We are winning too much we need to get our tank commanders back to finish in top 3.

    WHAT. A. COMEBACK! Kudos tonight goes to:

    Eric FREAKING Gordon and David FREAKING Nwaba! Unbelievable minutes for them both. Augustin was unbelievable all game. Really thought he was off on both defense and offense vs. the Grizz, at times was playing lethargic. Tonight was just unreal, even with his hustle. I LOVED what I saw from Christopher. A rookie getting cooked the way he was early by Trae would not have bounced back. I was worried he wasn't going to recover having to get moved off Trae. But he stuck with, hustling on the boards and finding other ways to contribute.

    Huge growth tonight from Silas. Ending with Sengun who was far and away better than Wood on the court. Wood didn't have it tonight. Didn't force Matthews or Brooks back in the game. Just stuck with the hot hand and let them get the W. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

    The problem with EG turnover play was the screen setter. EG is not a good ball handler and he should have gotten the strong pick from Sengun.

    With no true pg, the last plays should be played off of Sengun, either with a pick, or passing through him. He sets the pick right, threat to pass or drive inside or roll inside. His 3pt is not a threat but i think he has more than enough other stuff to make up for it. The other one on one plays are much weaker and has a higher probability of a turnover.

    Some of the lineups were wacky this game but I loved the effort from the whole squad. KJ had some key moments
    Segun continues to develop game by game.

    Can't wait for the back court to get back to continue their development

    Imagine if we had a Rubio or even Dragic. Do u know how good some of the others would be?

    this game made kpj look like a lost cause.

    Cant wait for Wood to come out and say he wants to be involved in the offense and should be closing out games.

    Nwaba and Augustin won this one. Hustle, timely shooting and BBIQ = W.

    Hawks can suck it, the refs handed them that win and they managed to bungle it anyway.

    Watching this team develop and learn to win is a lot of fun. Very nice win.

    The bench was amazing.

    It just shows you how deadly having so many 3 point shooters can do. When Brooks and Matthew went completely cold, DJ and Gordon were scorching. Hell even Nwaba and Tate were swishing 3's lmao

    I cant wait to rewatch and slowly listen to the Hawks announcers go from cocky assholes to contemplating retirement lol Judging by tonight they are the worst most homerific commentators in the league. "This team will give you anything you want" **** you sincerely, Houston.
