Battle of the Birds: Hawks vs Pelicans

Another double double for Trae. I don't know what's happened to his scoring touch though.

He's ice cold. Nothing is falling for him.

Seems like that ejection killed his mojo. Hasn't been the same since.

Yea, probably just a coincidence though. The shot he really needs to fall is that floater in the lane. If he's not getting that to go he's off.

This was a good game for the squad. Trae shot was off but a complete team win. Kevin was alive and well

This was the most encouraging win for me. Even though Trae didn't score efficiently, he rebounded and was a great playmaker. His defensive effort was also much improved. John was just John. Effort and Amazing! Kevin Heurter! This guy has A LOT of potential. Cant' wait for coach Pierce to get him in his off season program. Tauren Prince has played MUCH better lately. His defense is much improved and his playmaking and rebounding are much better. THAT Tauren is the one I want to see going forward. Alex Len - Still has a few issues finishing gimmies, but he's been playing well lately too. Bembry is actually finishing around the rim much better.

The Hawks have a really bright future with this young core. Again, I'm just excited about our future.

Not much to glean from beating the Pels at home, they’re a mess top to bottom. It is encouraging to see the team win going away with Trae shooting poorly. Clearly he was still engaged with a 5:1 assist:turn with 5 boards and 6 FT attempts. Dedmon +26 godd@mn. I can’t front Jaylen Adams gives you good minutes every now and then. I know Bembry can’t be too pleased playing fewer minutes than him after he was very efficient tonight.

Adam's wasn't good or bad, just part of a 2nd unit that was on fire.

It's very exciting to be a fan of the team right now. While I enjoy watch the guys play I'm excited for the off season, the draft, and free agency.

Kiss #4 in the lottery goodbye!!!

Throw it down, John

Should've created in-game situations in the dunk contest. Would've win it, hands down.

Lol. Should’ve let the fake Tuskegee Airmen chill in the crowd and just brought Trae and the Hornets out. The backwards alley oop he caught about a week ago was so cold but the spin and tomahawk from last year versus the Nets might be his best.

[Spud2nique]

We are growing up fast, we are even winning the ugly games that young team usually end up losing. Trae was off but Huerter was absolutely on fire and Collins is busting people and shutting down the haters. I love us!

We have some time off till Wednesday. Great job by the guys to get this team win!

AD gave some of the most half assed effort I’ve ever seen. He was playing like he was in the AllStar game.

I always knew his intangibles weren’t there. With all that damn talent I can’t see him winning anything even as a secondary leader. If he’s an add-on to complete a Big 3 you’re probably sweeping the playoffs.

In his defense, he doesn't exactly have a lot to play for the remainder of the year.

Last place team. Hoping for a trade. Minutes restriction.

He's literally just waiting for the moratorium to pass, so he can move to a better situation.

Nah, he's a winning ball player. He just doesn't have the team around him to do anything significant. He was coasting throughout the game, but he was easily the best player on the court (or maybe behind Huerter) when he put in some effort. He and the Pelicans need to move on.
