Hawks will happily take that bonus. Done did.

IT's putting on his warm-ups so his night is likely over at 19 points. His 43-game streak with 20+ points should end vs. Hawks.

  

 

@Spud2Nique I think you asked about the previous record, it was Havlicek 1971-72.

Just want to say, and happily so Prince had better stats than Al. Different position but a rookie making a positive statement against a problematic thorn of a team for for us.

So we lose by double digits in three straight games including at home...then go and blow a team out by double digits on the road.

Hated Hondo and his Hawks killing bank shot decades ago almost as much as IT's charging/ref loving ass these days. But then Hondo avoided the media compared to the all mighty midget who I want to see knocked cross eyed permanently. Thinking this gives Hondo a human decency pass on this one. But then again he did wear Green so I still do hate him as well.

Isaiah Thomas is crying that he didn't get any calls lmfao.

Really tough to figure this Hawks team out this year. Have looked great and terrible from game to game all year. I liked the rotation today though, I hope Prince can get 25 mins consistantly from here on out. He may lack some quickness and touch but he plays with great toughness. 

Al Horford's last five games: 7ppg 5rbg 3apg 35% Shooting.... Glad he is no longer a Hawk, too bad we couldn't trade him for a wing while he was here.

At this point, let's just see what happens in the playoffs. I was ready to write this team off (and that's saying something, I'm a mad homer), but this game showed what a motivated Dwight can do. Keep your cool, Dwight!

We need Ersan and Prince to play well down the stretch, then we've got a punchers chance.

Edit: Also, told y'all Prince is a baller! I've been his biggest fan from day one, I seen bright things for him. Love the way he passes, has a real feel for the game.

Also, Prince, I'd dump the GF if you gave me a call. K thx.

Sometimes launching yourself into a defender is not considered a defensive violation. Hard to believe, right?

[Guest]

Why can't we get this type of defensive effort more often than not.

Good win, must ein against the Seltics on their floor.

Dennis manned up tonight, kept his emotions in check and was a leader. Solid defense on IT - streak busted, aahaaa.

Taurean Prince filled the stat sheet - more minutes please.

Dwight was feasting until he got ejected.

Moment of the night - here Al..... take this shove. Lololololol.

"Excuse me, Celtics... you guys, I'm sorry, no... There's a mistake... Atlanta Hawks, YOU were the team that won by 16 tonight."

Uuuuuuuuummmmmm.....kaaaay

Would like to say even with flaws the strategy this summer was on full display tonight. A win using an overpowering glass ownership game. And gee whiz Prince was pretty damn good himself for a low minute rookie. Bud does have some good/great ideas, just need to bring his coaching up to par to match. 

[Guest]

Oh, we still need a backup PG.
