I thought he was going to be a smaller version of Brandon Roy.

Only three turnovers in the first half for the Hawks.

Excellent half of basketball.  Everybody making their open 3s.

Looks like it's going to be a quiet night on the Squawk.

I’ve never seen the lowest turnover team in the league fail to reap any dividends from it because they’re second from last in forcing them!

Nice callout! It worked, I saw Bogi with a couple steals at least. 
 

This is Hawks basketball.

5.5 points Hawks favored

 

P.S.  I forgot to credit Spud2Nique as the source (in his earlier post in this thread).

Oh I love it. Clean, sharing and bombing away from deep with smarts and taking what the D gives. Yes sirrrrs and ma’am!

To me, he's an under-athletic guard without a 'thing' to hang his hat on.  EzPass

All steals are welcome.  But this is Magic basketball as well lol

If you don't think Bogi isn't trying to get his starting job back, well, I don't know what to tell you.

I definitely take Trae for granted sometimes. Watching the game I barely reacted to that crossover and dish. I would have killed for a point guard like that on the Hawks 10 years ago.. See Acie Law, Salim Stoudemire, Schröder, etc... lol

 

Imagine Joe Johnson and Josh Smith playing with Trae.  Hell, Trae may have even gotten maximum value out of Marvin Williams.

Good, I like the all positive squawk squad. It makes my tummy feel better.

Bogi should embrace playing with the 2nd unit.  He basically gets the green light to shoot the ball anytime he wants.

If I'm Bogi, I'd be more concerned with being in the lineup to finish the game, than starting it.

Well if Nate sees him playing this well coming off the bench, his stubborn ass isnt changing.. lol

Ya this. Thank that fan in Boston that woke Bogi up!

He's already an offensive juggernaut despite not being a complete floor general as of right now. I still think this is his floor because he's been this since the second half of his first season.

Very poignant post.  That’s a floor for yo ass!

I suspect I’ll never be a fan of his overall approach but his skill set almost can’t be put into words.  I can deal with that trade off I guess.

As good of a January that I had . . . I've taken a beating in February.  Easily almost down $2K this month.  Damn near got me gun shy to even bet on the NBA now.

As for the Hawks, you can't trust them on the road.  They look great tonight though.

No worse feeling than betting on Memphis -7.5, seeing them up 35(!) on Charlotte in the second quarter, counting my money, forgetting the game, and checking the score hours later to see they won by 7.  None.

I feel like Vegas is out to get me.

You can't have it all. And if you replace our sharp shooters with defensive minded brick layers, you might live to regret that.

I'm a half hour behind. It's been my M.O. all season. DVR it and forward through the commercials and halftime. I'm usually caught up by the 3rd quarter. Main reason I rarely chat during games.
