Hornets on a B2B should give us the edge for sure. Caruso is back tonight as well I believe.

Patented Westbrook pullup brick.

Edit-He's playing well just noting the really bad miss.

Hawks looking for 7 in a row and sole possession of the 6th seed. If the Lakers beat the Hornets later tonight, they could have sole possession of the 5th seed.

Capela playing after missing two games is great to see.

Geez Utah has not looked good in a minute.

Trae with the steal and layup. Instead he passed up two of the easiest points he will see tonight; and setup Collins for a jam.

Mitchell can look sooooo bad at times.

The Jazz are really going through it right now. Bogey-Mitchell has got to be one of the worst two way combos in the league right now. Massive liabilities on both ends of the floor.

Since McMillan took over, the Hawks have the 4th best defensive rating in the league. Tonight they are holding OKC to 30.8% from the field.

I think Trae and Nate are trying to change the lazy narrative that Trae can never be a part of a great defensive team.

Hawks just needed an average coach for them to start winning. Pierce had to be one of the worst coaches in recent memory.

I think Nate is better than average. Of the available coaches. I have him, D'Antoni, and Atkinson as the best three available in no particular order. You can keep the promising assistants. I want a proven coach.

Jazz have been slumping for a few weeks. Anyone thinks this is the best team in the league needs to get mental help. I can think of atleast 8 teams off the top of my head better.

The Hawks are trying to get Bogi going. 4/7 from the field, 2/4 from three. and 10 points in the first half. Trae with 17 points and 7 assist against 2 turn overs.

The Hawks pretty much put on a 1st half clinic on both ends of the floor.

People who say Westbrook's rebounding doesn't matter or that it is manufactured need to stop and start watching the games. The best rebounding point guard all time (maybe even guard period). Constantly outrebounding 6-7 inches taller players, starting constant fast break opportunities.
