Atlanta Hawks top Los Angeles Lakers in overtime, Trae Young, De'Andre Hunter, 6-game winning streak

[@HammerHeadBubba]

DeAndre hunter has gone super saiyan

[@AndrewPolander]

Hope his knees hold up....starting to wonder if it might be a sell high on him!!!

[@majestyzx9081]

Haven't always been the highest on Hunter, but the dude's been amazing this season.

[@treymatthews3353]

Honestly the vibes for the Hawks right now might be the best they’ve been in a very long time, and I’m including 2020-21 when I say that. Even if we were better then, that team wasn’t all that fun to watch from a basketball standpoint as our offense was 90% Trae/Capela PnRs. Right now our offense has so much more versatility and movement even if it’s not as good as it once was. It’s a breath of fresh air and Quinn deserves a lot of credit. Also having a bunch of young athletes and defenders is always nice.

[@tjsatori]

This is different than 2020-21 because of the faith in the head coach. Now that everyone can believe in the players and the coach the vibes are peaking.

[@rufushenderson1762]

I totally agree with you; they are playing in beast mode.

[@boondockbwoy14]

FACTS!

[@topdawg78]

Not to mention we play great effort defense. This is a fun team to watch.... I'm loving it

[@topdawg78]

Plus I honestly think that dejounte Murray was killing the vibe. He wasn't happy

[@jumbokevin]

Dyson with the 5 clutch consecutive points in the dying minutes of the 4th quarter with that timely steal changed the game entirely

[@LockedOnHawks]

Was a huge swing for sure

[@geraldadams8084]

I thought we were cooked

[@Theeastsideoasis]

That guy is a crucial part of the future!

[@Spencetenor]

I swear the bar is different for Trae for some reason. This was an ALL TIME game. The 30 point 20 assist club is very exclusive. And yet, everyone is talking about the lakers struggles and havent given Trae his flowers. Just ridiculous.

[@majestyzx9081]

65 from the bench is wild.

[@loustarski420]

The atlanta hawks are fun again

[@eliratcliff44]

The assist from Trae to bogi when Trae turned around before bogi shot it was how you knew he was back

[@boondockbwoy14]

That moment was COLD af! Indeed that's exactly when we all knew Bogi was back 🏀🔥👀

[@ellieswagaye]

dyson and bogi are my Australian and Serbian kings

[@William_Stephens]

Travis Schlenk had a cult following amongst the fans but it’s time to put some respect on Landry Fields. Idk how many time Schlenk was overruled by ownership but Landry has done an outstanding job digging us out of what looked like a hole and building a deep roster. We essentially traded pick swaps for Dyson Daniels. He went Risacher over Sarr and the field which I love. We have Jalen, O, Vit, Bogi, and even Hunter now on what look like team friendly deals. Hiring a coach that finally put his arm around our best player. Outside of Clint, all of out of our top 10 rotation guys are on the books next year. Keep it together and use the lakers pick to draft a 7ft defensive rim runner

[@majestyzx9081]

T.I.T.S.

[@William_Stephens]

LONG LIVE TRAE YOUNG 🙌

[@dguy2hawks2]

Hawks defense is a difference maker this year.

[@rhodmany6406]

Anytime you can beat the best versions of LeBron,AD, AND the refs you’re doing something right. Let’s go hawks!!

[@camkillen3754]

The bench have been outstanding the reason the teams moving so well taking a huge load off Trea has been huge

[@seki0123]

You don’t see Brad smiling much during his podcast, but we’ve been seeing it. Hope this streak continues.

[@ivvv24]

hey brad ik you said the offense was better with onyeka but man it is just so frustrating to watch us try and guard 7 foot elite post up bigs with a 6'8 player, he just offers no resistance against guys like AD, so for that reason i feel like on nights like tonight against elite offensive bigs as long as clint isnt disastrous on offense (which he wasnt) he should play more than onyeka. jokic will embarrass us if we try to stick onyeka on him for 30 minutes on sunday lol

[@LockedOnHawks]

There were definitely times it was rough on defense with Okongwu against Davis. I thought he got better as the game went at least. But they missed Clint several times on D

[@geraldadams8084]

And yes joker will cook either way. But I see we won the game by out rebounding the lakers. Relentless rebounding and defensive new formula

[@majestyzx9081]

Hawks sequence in the last possession of regulation was terrible. It's not like they were rushed.

[@marambula]

a few microBursts from from hunter, bogdan, and dyson. assists all over the place. ICE COLD

[@Theeastsideoasis]

I was wrong. I take back my Bogi comments. It’s good to see him hooping again.

[@AndrewPolander]

Happy for Trae at the very end because that last min of Reg was REALLY HARD/frustrating because of Trae!

[@William_Stephens]

Not just the last minute. Like the last 7-8 min

[@JustAnAccountLmao810]

This is the hawks I love.

[@AndrewPolander]

Hawks can definitely be a top 6 playoff team this year....Not that far behind their division rival Orlando....I think that's a possible get as well....then we could be talking about a top 4 seed!! NOT at all that CRAZY!! BOST,CAVS,NY....ATL???

[@4ktkaram395]

Rayford 🍯🍯🍯

[@4ktkaram395]

Dre huntaaaaaaa

[@hairygoat3962]

Quin has now done the throw in the back court to Trae play 3-4 times now and is 0/3-4 and then the time he didn’t do that play we won in overtime

[@Spencetenor]

Is there any word of why kobe didnt play? I really have liked what ive seen from him. I just hope we arent gonna hurt his confidence.

[@LockedOnHawks]

Discussed on the pod but think just a matchup decision

[@jbwuzhere6819]

Brad, will we ever get anything out of Mo' Gueye? Just thinking of how much the guys have improved collectively but there's still more...

[@LockedOnHawks]

Was always going to be a long term project. He’s shown some flashes in the G League and, importantly, has been healthy and getting reps.

[@AndrewPolander]

HEY BRAD....can you dedicate a show here soon at looking for a player or 2 to acquire in a trade...with F.Wagner injury...the door seems wide open for the Hawks to be potentially a top 4 seed!!! We have good players on our bench that don't even play!! Consolidation trades coming??? MAYBE!!!

[@LockedOnHawks]

Still pretty early for full trade episodes BUT it’ll be a topic for sure. Dec 15 is the unofficial opening of trade season.

[@tiffanyjackson4025]

The largest thing I see, the hawks enjoy playing with and for each other, again like in 2021-22, 😅 GO HAWKS 💖

[@anb8946]

Maybe I'm just rotted from at least 2 years of the Hawks getting a terrible shake from the referees, but I felt like the officiating was alright the whole night minus the go either way official reviews that we somehow managed to lose all 3 of.

[@ricksman4118]

Honesty- we almost lost but WE WON, WE played 2 brands of offense BEGINNING WITH DD, JJ, ZACK and WU SHARING THE BALL. WE Almost lost with trey at the helm bogi hunter JJ CAPELA. BUT WE WON

[@MikeTheMan-x9u]

Dre the hunter tre the iceman shutem down hahaha the hawks.

[@DonVaun12]

The refs were on that bs

[@garywarmerii]

Lol 😆 lebron sold now trae just punched his ticket to lakers BRon trading everybody but bronny an ad to get trae to la he on the phone right now tryna see what hawks will take for ice trae 😂

[@joshllorens4514]

Fantastic win streak, am going to laugh when all the doomers come back after Jokic, the best player on the planet, destroys us tomorrow. Fan base will go right back to pretending we're terrible

[@boondockbwoy14]

Why are you so certain nuggets will destroy us?

[@atlhawksfan9330]

MAGA!!! Make Atlanta Great Again!!!

[@commenton1]

Had me in the first half ngl lol

[@atlhawksfan9330]

@@commenton1🤣😂🤣😂

[@anb8946]

During OT, I was thinking, "If they lose this game, I really hope BTRowland skips the intro and just launches into a tirade about how bad that last possession was."

[@LockedOnHawks]

It would’ve been much earlier in the show if they had lost lol
