    Dude, there are still like 69 (ha!) games left.

    Also, they *purposely* tanked the last 3 years and it didn't work out in their favor. Gotta lose the right way to win the lotto.

    I'd like to see us go get Isaiah Stewart to be the small ball 5 to be the complementary piece to Clingan.

    Sharpe show me a lot the last 5 minutes of game. He put this team on his shoulders to will them to a win that showed me a lot. Look like the big man had of hell of a game. Good win!

    True, but he’s not as important as Sharpe/Clingan. I loved what I saw from Barton/Sharpe.

    Feels like the team we've been robbed of seeing for the last year and a half. Can't wait for Ayton and Ant to be gone.

    There will be plenty of losses. Ok to win a couple against a strong team imho.

    I will always take wins like this where any combo of Scoot, Shae and Clingan play a huge role in why we won. But I hate meaningless wins where Ant, Ayton and Grant just play iso ball and take stupid shots that may or may not go in

    Wow, it's crazy how much better we look as a team when Simons/Ayton don't play.

    Hawks made the 7th seed in the play-in and got the #1 pick.

    Was pretty obvious.

    Aside from the 8 blocks, I thought the most telling thing was how well Clingan looked playing hedge defense on Ant Edwards. 3 games ago you couldn’t get Clingan to move past the 3 point line on defense. Dude learns quickly and is so teachable.

    Wow.

    Back to back over a really good team.

    Shae played like a star tonight. Bodes well for the future.

    What can you say about Clingan, who out-Goberted Gobert. I like his chemistry, too, with Scoot, who looks like he's close to making a step forward if he's content to let the game come to him -- his mistakes all come when he tries to be too spectacular, but, in a poised game, there aren't many PGs he can't outathlete.

    The perimeter defense, that's frustrated me all year and even into the last couple years, was on point.

    Team got a standing O and deserved it.
