We actually have a chance, only due to the Hawks also playing this afternoon.

This should be a W. The team will have to show up after what happened in Memphis.

Hawks having a positive W-L record even with Trae playing like complete ass is kinda impressive.

Trae Young is one of the greatest shooters and passers we’ve ever seen

This might be one of those close L’s we used to have. Expect a competitive game.

Capela/Okongwu should feast in this one. Otherwise, will be interesting to see how Jalen Johnson/Dyson Daniels fare against our young crop.

I thought DeAndre Hunter would have been a great buy low candidate... dude has been balling and a huge reason why they went on their current run.

It will be very bad for Scottie's confidence if they stick Dyson on him.

Hawks are the definition of mid

They are currently 16-15 so of course they'll lose and become 16-16

His scoring has been poor but his playmaking ability is still top 0.1%.

Jalen Johnson is arguably better than Scottie at this point. Lots of wings surrounding Trae too. Their Gm did a good job.

They are very well constructed now. Their starting 5 looks great for the next 5 years with the rise of Jalen Johnson. Good to see.
Curious to see how SF Barnes looks against another power forward in Jalen.

Damn good starting 5, but who's the second All-NBA level player with Trae? u need that to win a ring
