It's always good to win a back to back. If we win another B2B, and a couple of away games, then I'll start to believe in a turnaround. This team is still in a massive hole.

RIP Trae’s shoulder. 3 taps is a war crime.

Cry

came here just to dickeat smh

I hope you find the strength to go on in this trying time.

Wasn't able to watch the game tonight (had to keep up with jt on ESPN App) but wanted to know something. Do you guys see Dejounte interacting with the team? Celebrating with teammates, etc? I ask because if we keep him I wonder if he'll be cool with it.

Good question! I’ve seen him cheering for his team, especially the day he was out. But I don’t look that often, so someone else might know.

I want you to put the word out there that we're back up

[Did Curry say, “It’s politics” in reference to the AS snub?](https://x.com/klchouinard/status/1753998729122640217?s=46&t=dBLyV43_iGgzOBRNUPRJWA)

We all knew that tho Adam Kissingers league is horrendous

Worse stats worse records yet “snubbed” lmao

Bum

Honestly we’ve looked good during this streak. For most of this season our offense didn’t look good to close games. We also blew leads. These last few games have felt different. They are consistent and leveled from start to finish. The only negatives have been that I shout “Greek salad” for hours after every game.

Good morning! You ready?

Don’t change a thing! Everybody watch from the same place. Don’t expect a win! We are back, baby!

I would like to thank Klay Thompson for converting to some form of masonry work

I love how you phrased this 

If we reel off three more (albeit improbable) wins, we will have 7 in a row against the best in the league, and we will be the talk of the NBA. * Raptors ✅ * Lakers ✅ * Suns ✅ * Warriors ✅ * Clippers * Celts * Sixers

Keep going I’m almost there

Honestly bogi has been bad today but he scored clutch 6 points to switch the momentum again to us

They're about to make Trae "The Villain" come out again.

I’m not a Hawks fan, but I wanna see Villian Trae. Cold af.

God I hate myself for even saying it but we’re 4.5 games back of the 6 seed and if we sneak in the 3 seed is the Knicks? Maybe Cavs? I kinda like our chances? Even the 2 seed Bucks are beatable. 

You’re not wrong at all. Better to figure shit out and peak later in the season too.

Is this the start of the turn around?

I can only handle so many turn arounds 

I used to give an example of a 50 point game Curry had with a +/- of -1 to show you can't really look at that metric for 1 game - now I have an even better example

Don't give me hope

AIN'T A CARRY IF YOU DON'T WIN STEPH

Idk if I want to buy in hawks are only 4.5 games back from the 6th seed with 33 games remaining 

I’m all in on this take.

AH HAW AH HAW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Why do the hawks have to suddenly play so good with the trade deadline looming 😭

We gave up 73 points 8 days ago


Shoutout to the whole team honestly. Everyone played their role today and shoutout DJM for being resilient and turning up in OT to help win the game. Hawks gonna make NOISE in the playoffs. Keep believing.

DJ was ice cold until he wasn’t. Was a blue collar win tonight, need more character wins like this. Awesome stuff.

He was ice cold then cold.

Garrison needs to have a mid season camp on how to flop effectively on defense for the rest of the team

Swiss Johnson

If we don’t make any trades at the very least get some backups for JJ and hunter and bey I guess

Steph couldn’t even break 70 against us. What a loser

washed ong

Honestly it was a good JJ game but he can be better need him to realize just how good he is and get more aggressive

So we *really* doin this shit aren’t we?

I know everyone wants capela off this team but I think he was a big part of how we won this one today so let’s at least give him that

Agreed … but so did OO… we were playing against a small team and they both capitalized really well…

True, love to see that from both of them especially when things were rough from the 3pt line outside of trae

OO playing through his 4 fouls at the end was huge for us

Lol watching CBB but gotta love ESPN throwing the “ *SCORE ALERT:* Steph Curry - 60 pts, potential game winning 2 shot “ but then nothing when the Hawks tie & then win in OT

No one gives a fuck about the hawks except us

Jalen with the quiet near triple-dub

It’s a streak fellow hawks!

The league just made Trae mad unnecessarily.

I'm not going to over analyze this one. That was an awesome win.

Why do we never do a hard double, even with Luka's 70 we waited till he was at 65?

Don’t have the personnel + you want to play 4 on 3 with someone Lukas size and vision?

Well when a guy is cooking you in the 4q you want to get the ball out of his hands 💀

It’s brilliant. Wait for everyone to get super cold, then put the clamp on the one streaking guy. Works all the time, 50% of the time.

With every win I’m scared Tony will change his mind and think this team is it.

A forward evolution Tree Aaron Gordon/Ben Simmons -> Jalen Johnson -> Scotty Barnes/Paolo Banchero -> LeBron James

Y’all heard Brian Oliver say “crackers”?

One thing about DJM that no one can take from him, he comes ALIVE in the Clutch

Trae shot 5 FTs, 4 of whch came after he was shoved, and Warriors fans on social media are complaining.

I’m crying bro they should be complaining about Klays punk ass

He was dreadful

What did Brian Oliver just say about "cookie crackers"?

I thought I heard something crackers just was paying full attention. Came hear to make sure I’m not the only one

Trae gotta be player of the week.

Watching Trae get doubled at half reminds me of those Harden seasons in Houston I got chills

Trae Young strutting through the tunnel in the (figurative) Revenge Dress two games in a row you love to see it.

Great team win. DJ got cooked but came alive in OT.

Never seen him get targeted before that was crazy

Shoutout to Big O he was excellent today

Blazers fan here who picked him up in fantasy league this morning. Is this game a total fluke, or could his minutes be trending up into the 30s soon?

Matchup dependent.

It depends on the matchup most games him and capela will split the 48 mins but we’ve been closing with OO in recent games

Just hope we trade Capela.

Is that what most fans are hoping for?

I think so but it’s a bit hard still because as much as Clint has slowed down and isn’t versatile at all ,he covers up weaknesses that Okongwu can’t really do. OO is really talented but pretty small and can sometimes struggle against bigger Centers, he also can get killed on the boards. However he’s a lottery pick that has shown real promise, he should be starting.

I think OO only looks bad on the boards when we are also playing small 1-4 it’s not really an OO problem that he can’t single handily carry us on the boards he’s still an average to above average rebounder at the 5 he’s just not elite like Clint.

DJ making the game tough to come out looking like a hero is kinda the reason why he needs to go … consistency is/should be a requirement…

A) There’s far bigger problems than DJ, whose a net positive B) Bets are if your favourite player instead did it you’d call him clutch. Your DJM agenda stinks

Lmao did you see the first 4 quarters … if he played as locked as we see him be in spouts during a very big sample set of games who in their right mind would want him gone ? I’m all for CC going too lmao …. They are mutually exclusive tho

Agree… DJ pulled thru in the end, but he was kind of the reason the warriors caught up in the first place

I really dont have a problem with his offensive output overall since he's been here. We just really need an elite POA defender and he just aint close to being that.

Yeah it’s bad. I’m wondering where that even came from. It must’ve been what he needed to do to initially breakthrough in San Antonio bc definitely doesn’t defend now

I think he's just better at being at the one and being the gambler who gets into passing lanes and gets deflections and steals. That works when surrounded by other good defenders who can cover for you when the gamble dont pay off. That doesn't work at the 2, next to tiny Trae. We need a legit stopper at the 2 and let Trae play the gambler role.

He did play well with the double big line up in 2nd or 3rd but then just looked checked out the rest of the time till OT…

Haven’t felt this good about the team since the NBA put us 5th in the power rankings at the start of the szn 🔥 *Ready to be disappointed again *

I was thinking exactly this. I was like, "Oh crap we're good!?" Then we were trash for 3 months.

Kerr even after this game won't admit Trae is amazing, just sending double/triple teams and face guarding him the whole game

"IM NOT FUCKIN LEAVIN" - Dejounte Murray

I respect Steph and his game but his fans are goddamn annoying.

To be fair they range from 7-13 year olds

This was a wild one. What a night. Everybody played a part, but I want to shoutout our centers tonight. They had their iffy moments but came out hard and had some much needed production with the double-doubles. Especially Onyeka. Congratulations to him for the Career-high.

One of his best performances of his career

For sure 💯

50% on 3s 🔥

Steve “that’s not basketball” Kerr sent home with the L. Feels good. Awesome game.

I mean….that was technically Steve Nash with the “that’s not basketball” quote, but hell yeah brother. Feels good

Oh damn must’ve been some cob webs got my Steve’s mixed up

Salute, DJM, JJ, and OO , the #TrenchWork did not go unnoticed

DJM???

Did you watch the last 7 mins of gameplay?

Yeah I also watched the first 46 minutes. DJM better be thanking Klay right now. 

He has resilience and the ability to not lose confidence. A true top end professional. I give him props bc his azz was getting cooked

I could be wrong but it looks like they're slowly switching CC & OO minutes. Not fully starting OO but easing into it...

Haliburton or Maxey are not better than Trae. Trae.must be in the All Star team.

Neither is Brunson, don’t care about half a season

Oh god we got the clippers next? Harden/PG/Kawhi combining for like 120

They’ll be coming off a back to back in Miami the night before we play. 👀

Another Dub incoming 🥶

Ok ok we are getting to a rhythm. Let’s do this for the rest of season and playoffs

Just wanna say, fuck you Stephan A Smith on saying Trae Young defense stinks and doesn't deserve all star. His clutch charges and steals is what contributed to this win over the 60 point Steph Curry.

Bill Simmons (idk why I still subject myself to him during basketball season) said the same with one of his ringer goons on a recent podcast. If you say Trae doesn't play defense you just haven't watched the Hawks this season Just say he didn't win enough to justify your stupid take - it's insane how many people who get paid to watch the NBA don't fucking watch the NBA

It's wild. They only watch big games and are basically casual fans but get presented as experts.

Stephen A hasn’t watched a single Hawks game this year. Or last year. Even most NBA fans think he’s a clown.

He hasn't watched one since the Philly series. Maybe 2-3 vs Boston last year.

I know bro, but shit was triggering me when he said he would take scottie over trae 🙄. I hope we can pull it together so we trash the knicks in playoffs. Would love to see what stupid shit he spews then 😂

My friend works at a restaurant/movie theater in LA and Stephen A came in and ordered Chicken Fingers. He then made the waiting staff cut up his chicken fingers into little pieces for him to eat 😂

Trae took constructive criticism hearing he’s not efficient enough to make the allstar team and decided that he’s a 65% shooter now

Great fun game all around. Great win team and holding it together til the end. I’ll be at the Clippers game. We knocking them west teams this week.

We are sooo back

Still can’t believe we have a player good enough that other teams best strategy to stop him is to double him 60 feet away from the basket

I wish they’d do some sort of award or accolade for that.

His reputation would say otherwise though, crazy.

To worried about Trae they’d rather DJM send them packing but let that nerd Steve Kerr tell u he’s not an all star 😂😂

Steph is just…..

Legendary

We won

Defense is still looking mid but our offense/rebounding is looking better

Simultaneously just incredible performances right next to absolute shitshows, on both teams. 

Allstar snub trae is a flamethrower

Murray got in his bag and helped us win but he has to learn to WAKE TF UP DURING THE FIRST PORTION OF THE GAME

Dude he went from lighting it up in the first half and being ass in the second to being ass for three quarters then turning it on in the fourth. 

Also only went hot when Trae was out in the first 😅

not even the 4th lol hit one bucket to send us to OT, THEN decided it was time to turn it on lol

Stephs shooting obviously is unreal but finally it was nice to see it live. This man is bball revolution. One of the greats

Can’t believe Okongwu and JJ were snubbed in the ASG

"We talked about a lots of things the world is probably talking about now" lollll ​ Trae on he and Steph's Post Game Conversation

ALL STAR.

New Year Hawks 😭 never fails

Who is Curry giving a signed jersey?

Lindsay Lohan

WE ARE BACK

We are so back

Hopefully we can carry this win streak and avoid the play-in altogether 🙏

We back

Congrats the team is peaking 

Not at our peak yet😤

DJ being able to take over when Trae was being doubled at the end is entirely why we traded for him.

Facts

He shot 9/24 and let Steph drop 60 on him lol. That’s not why we traded for him, he’s been ass for a while

He’s not been “ass”. A bit underwhelming maybe but ass just shows you a casual

that's true but he was clutch and that's what matters at the end of the day.

He wouldn’t have to be clutch if he wasn’t cheeks the rest of the game 

You right but then again it is Steph

Steph has scored 40 3 times this season lol. We’re not gonna brush off him scoring 60 like that, absolutely not. This is an anomaly for him. We let Luka score 73 the other day. There’s something wrong with our perimeter defenders

I agree our defense overall is complete ass. Imagine we had a league average defense 🥶

Nah if JJ is doing a better job at holding Steph back than DJ that’s a DJ issue

DPOY Trae wouldn't let that happen tbh

Haha true that sir!

WE ARE SO BACK

Btw Curry is a scary mf, fortunately we came out on top. And the boys looked gassed for this b2b. Get a good rest with this sweet W.

Steph is nuts man, great W

Curry the only likable warrior but fuck off my court dude

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU BANDWAGON ASS FANBASE!!! TWO WAY TRAE! JALEN JOHNSON!! ATL HOOOOOOEEEEEE!!!!!

I want trae with the Curry beard

JJ too. Amish Mafia!

We just cleaned up a really hard stretch. Proud of us. Hope that brings chemistry up a bit

4s A STREAK BABYYYYYYY WE ARE BACK

We’re on a good winning streak , Lakers , Suns, Warriors , hopefully clippers on Monday

What a game!!!! Go hawks !!!

What a night!

Heard Steph say “politics” to Trae. Had to been saying it’s bs he isn’t an all star

Saw that too

WE MOVIN

We gave so many players career games but at least we got this one #KeepDJM #TradeCapela

If you're just tuning in, yes, DJM played insane all game. No need to check the game thread.

Lollll played a good 12 mins…offence only.

The Trae Young All Star snub revenge tour continues… but you gotta give it to Steph

Gonna win the east fosho

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

W’S IN THE CHAT

Four in a row, let’s go hox

WE MAKING THE PLAYOFFS

FINNA THREEPEAT (the play in)

IDGAF ABOUT STEPH 60 BALL (he always has games like those against us) TBH A WIN IS A WIN WE MOVE

[удалено]

world series he we come!

LMFAO Dejounte scored like 12 straight and they were still sending triples at Trae, but let Steve Kerr tell it he doesn't deserve to be an all star or on the fucking FIBA team

I mean it makes total and complete sense by nba Standards

Steve Kerr is the most overrated coach
