  1. They need to make DD the leader of this team. His defense is infectious, and the rest of the Hawks played some of the best defense of the year. Trae drags the rest of them down. DD proved that they need HIM running the show.

  4. Dyson’s offense is raw and relies on floaters more than shooting, but i definitely see the potential! Defense is so much better than we could’ve hoped for.

    Larry nance definitely needs to be the backup PF to Jalen Johnson like we all were expecting.

    Jalen Johnson is a future triple double machine😩 definitely thrives next to a PG that can pass and create like Trae, but his own playmaking is definitely improving

    Okongwu finally having that big final moment today hopefully boosts his confidence to be more aggressive on both ends of the floor!

    Risacher is 2/3 years younger than Jalen Johnson and Daniels, but we all saw his scoring and defense potential a couple games ago. Future is so bright.

    All I keep thinking about is what Jalen Johnson apparently said on the way to the locker room after risachers big game : “WE GOT A SQUAD NOW, WE GOT A SQUAD NOW”😂😂😂

  14. This game displayed everything I have been saying about Boston. You don't beat Boston by shooting threes with them. They are small and they struggle to protect the rim. Destroy them on the glass, and berate the rim. They also have only one offensive engine and that's Pritchard. Late in the game, Bostons offense was stagnant and almost unwatchable. I love the win for the Hawks, but I think it says more about Boston's roster deficiencies that no one is talking about in the national media.

  15. HOPE that QUIN finally gets it…PLAY NANCE.!……..I've been saying it from the start…as a CAVS fan..he is a very good player…he has worked his tail off on his 3 ball…He'a a winner!! A team first efficient player! Hope you understand QUIN!!!!!!

  16. Play Dyson more at the point and have him out there with GM and NANCE…and our WINGS!!! JJ ZR..and Okongwu!!! PACE and SPACE….can't wait for Boggie to get back…WOW!!! could really be fun!!!
