I can't wait until this team has a real starting point guard again

Quese having another good game. Nice to see him starting to bounce back after a bad start to the year.

Chriss looks so much better with Booker on the court

lol Chandler told Ulis to pull the chair. He just gotta get more crafty like that.

Well, Ulis made up with that Ilyasova "pull the chair" move. That was hilarious

They'll probably say common foul, but he made no play on the ball, so I think those should be called flagrant like in FIBA too.

Better defense (and Book stepping up) after falling behind 25-15 in the first quarter.

Hawks playing well lately ... beat Blazers, Wiz, and Heat ... all playoff teams. Quite a few close games too.

Booker, TJ, and Quese all played well. Bender has done well on defense, would like to see him do a bit more with the ball on offense considering how hard they're trying to pressure the ball. Probably shouldn't be whipping passes across the lane to stone hands Len either.

Interesting to see no JJ so far, Bordow said he's available but that a lot of the team is sick, wonder if that has anything to do with it? Could also be Triano making a point of having more shooting on the floor, consider teams basically leave him unguarded right now.

Booker-Warren-Chriss playing really well.

Good decision to not play Jackson at all for a game, he needs to understand what we want from him. He wants to score the ball, and he is not efficient so he is not helping the team.

JJ needs to be a defensive force...after that he can add scoring.

Yeah what is up? Dude's lost his spot.

Dragan better watch out or he'll be next. Common thread with both of these guys is that they're not ready physically.

Booker not even thinking about passing to Ulis in space. Guess he's figured out what the rest of the league has: Tyler's not a threat. Too bad. Really thought we had something in him last year.

Took some time, but apparently the Chriss' revival is for real.
Still has a lot of fundamentals issues, but it's nice to see him w/ his true athleticism.

Triano is giving a lesson to Jackson.

In his latest interview Triano said that Jackson was focusing too much about scoring, and they want him to be an stopper.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bazemore miss a shot

Jackson hasn't seen the court. Not good.

Bender doesn't try to do too much offensively though. That's JJ's problem and it costs us. In fact, I wish Bender would do more (and he did so in spurts but it never continues for long)..Bender usually plays solid D and keeps the ball moving or shoots on offense. There is zero reason he should be benched.
