[hawkman]

Digging a really deep hole early.

[kg01]

[Dnice]

They are getting their  ass kicked tonight

Gonna still be under 500  for another week.

[JayBirdHawk]

Still hungover from the Suns win I see, smh.

[Dnice]

Pump ya breaks on this team.

[hawkman]

Needed that 3 from Bogi. Now play some defense.

[Atlantaholic]

Ooook. I don't know wtf that was from Siakam, but safe to say he won't go for 80.... right?

Yea God forbid with Trae and Collins, Hunter playing with injuries having to travel 5 hours to Toronoto overnight and having Siakam go 10/10 that the Hawks struggle for one quartyer.

The Hawks are playing like they're hung over or something. There's no time to coast. They're still under .500. This game is a must win.

 

No.  They won a big national TV game against the #1 team in the league and had to travel to Canada soon after.  They probably arrived in TDOT at 2 - 3 am this morning.

Meanwhile, the Raptors also played the night before, beat Chicago, and got to rest in their own beds.

In a game like this, it helps if you have a great bench.  We do, but Gallo is out tonight.  Someone else will have to fill that void, or the starters will really have to start playing well.

 

Game will be difficult, but it looks like we've gotten our groove back a little.

[hawkman]

Okongwu doing WORK.

[JayBirdHawk]

Here comes the bench.

[hylndr11]

raptors are us last year, apparently u dont need a superstar

[kg01]

Yall gave up too early. 

[terrell]

Bogi!

[Atlantaholic]

Raptors are good... but don't have much depth.

[kg01]

Yall thought Siakim was gonna drop 60?

Pump the breaks on the haters.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Bogi likes this role off the bench, because he gets to be a main offensive option.  And if he's still getting 28 - 30 minutes a game AND is on the floor with the closing lineup, he probably could care less if he starts.

Hope he keeps playing well.

We had a superstar last year.
