The Hawks 2 losses to Washington were in the first week of the season, games 4 and 5. Their 2 wins against the Cavs were within the last week so I give that more credence.

First of the three games I still go in on with my season ticket holder group. Hope Giannis plays. $300 for two tickets (that we used to pay $120 for), $100 for a sitter and who knows how much for food and drink.

What if an opposing fan said we don't know which Milwaukee's going to show up, the one who lost to Chicago & Brooklyn, or has won 7/10 straight with a victory over Houston?

Regardless, Atlanta's 19th in RPI & Detroit's 24th. You are a combo of your averages & trends. Atlanta's trend is up, Detroit's down. So the disparity's even bigger. Of course Atlanta's tougher, to some degree. They have 2-3 stars to Detroit's 1. More quality vets.

Yep, and if we want to be a true title contender you need to be able to handle teams like this. We finally took a team we were crunching and continued to dominate them for a full game. Felt like a Budenholzer game. Hopefully that is something we can build upon and start blowing out bad playoff bound teams.

Thought the same thing re: Bud last night. Felt like a game during the Covid season prior to the shutdown.

Bogdan and Hunter missed a bunch of games to start the year which partially explains their better play as of late now that they're back. Hunter especially is at like 19 a night on elite efficiency since he returned and was really good in their wins against Cleveland. This is gonna be a tough one and if they put up another wire to wire win it'll be really impressive imo.

Who's guarding Trae? Ajax? Green? Rollins?

kinda feels like we are due for a clunker. white hot shooting last night. back to back. haven't really lost a game in 10 tries. Trae usually has his way with us, at least from a playmaking standpoint.

these aren't your old roommate from 4 years ago's Hawks. these Hawks play defense, sort of.

Have probably the best seats of my Fiserv life tonight.

Hoping for some exciting dunk shots and maybe a Brook Block.

Dunks are the best, man! Have fun!

I've wanted to add Dyson Daniels for years, so tonight will be rough for me if The Great Barrier Thief notches a few steals, or gives Dame a rough shooting night.

So Giannis is for real with these mid range jumpers?

If so, we automatically vault to the 2nd best team in the east behind only Boston.

Speaking of vaulting, I wonder if Giannis might vault ahead of AD and move to #3 on the MVP ladder if he puts up 67/25 tonight.

It’s hard to understand why Atlanta is so bad. On paper that starting five looks great.

They're 11-11 and 1 game behind us. Not that bad.
