I don’t hate the “Volt Green”. But dude those powder blues are top 3 in the league and wouldn’t mind switching back permanently. Sounds like El-P agrees.

Best game of the season tonight, and it'll be hard to top moving forward. To put up 140 against the league's top ranked defense isn't anything to scoff at. Everyone played well, and we got a short handed win.
I may have been wrong on Spellman. I've never said anything externally about it, but I always felt that he wouldn't be someone who would crack this rotation when we get good, but he seems to have a future as a very competent backup C on a playoff team at the very least, provided that he can shed some more weight and get in shape.
Huerter did the job in the first half, then made way for the Trae in the second. John Collins may have had some extra motivation to shoot well after having one of his worst shooting nights of the season on Sunday. He started out 11/11, finished 12/14, and didn't take a single 3. I don't mind him taking the occasional 3 if he finds himself open in the corner, like Len has been doing all year, but I'd hate to see him force that shot the way he did against MIL.

Our age distribution tonight was 20-25 and 41.
And we scored the most regulation points we've scored in nearly 10 years. (the 4OT against NY a couple of years ago was also 142)

Thunder players said: "We didn't."
Hawk players said: "We did!"
Lloyd's boys brought their "A" game in this one! Like a yoyo, we're up and down. Our greatest up! When everything goes right,
this is the results. We're getter and better as the year goes along.
GO ATL HAWKS
