OO makes me realize what Bruno could have been.

I mean….it’s like people forget Okongwu was the 6th pick in the draft, and for a reason lol

What a 4th quarter. Shitty refs, Monk's lucky miracle game, doesn't matter. Another L for the fakers.

Its just not smart basketball...I'm sorry

 

I'm sorry that you watching the 3rd best basketball player this franchise has ever had ( Petit and Nique ), makes you so miserable.  I absolutely love watching that kid play. 

Flaws and all.

They aren't flaws...What I'm talking about are choices

Huge win today. I am most impressed by Nate. He went with that kinda screwball lineup in the 4th but by God did it pan out. OO is the truth. If we have a trade in the offseason to get a star player and lose Capela in the process so OO can start I hope we do it.

By the end of it I expect him to be the best Hawk of all time.

Need more of this 4th quarter Bogi. We always play better when he looks to facilitate instead of just selfishly hunting out shots

I like that Nate changed things up today, going guard heavy in the second half, and leaving OO out there during critical minutes.

Okongwu is truly special. Completely changes the tenor of the defense when he’s in.

Bucks, Wolves, Heats, HorCats, Celtocs, Lakers.  

They still have a lot to learn.

A couple of the Trae Young "TOs" were fouls that weren't called or made up traveling calls. Outside of that stretch I think it was in the second quarter where he was clearly getting into it with the Refs Trae had a good game. A lot of iso stuff in the 4th quarter, but you could tell he was feeling it so I have no problem letting the starting All Star 30ppg player take shots when he has it going.

[benhillboy]

Back to playoff form: low turnovers, winning the glass, shooting more FTs.  How in the hell do we not record a block with the maniacs we have paroling the paint I don’t know.

Anyway Let’s Muthaf&@kin Go.  I haven’t felt like saying that all year until now lol.

They didn't play like this in previous games they won.  They actually played to great defense especially last game

[Q45T]

A dub is a dub especially when it’s the seventh in a row… lmao @ spinning this negatively because the team didn’t play the way you wanted them to. Every game ain’t gonna be perfect. Stop nitpicking… it’s pathetic.

Even when he's fouling, it's still making an impact because at just there are no easy buckets.

[Diesel]

OO is learning that when he sees Trae breaking, Break towards the rim and expect the ball. 

[bleachkit]

I'd like to see us run a few more plays for D Hunter. He's great from the midrange.
