You never know what a title-favorite is capable of on any given night

Not happy to see all these starters till on the court with a 60 point lead.

Good time out, lead's dwindled to 53. Time to regroup.

I'll go a step further. I wonder if Atlanta is regretting the Trae deal. I get that Jake is emerging, but he might be as difficult to build around as Trae. A primary ballhandler with no J is easy to gameplan for in the post season. I don't see as more than a secondary or tertiary initiator on a serious team until he can be at least respectable from the perimeter.

Spirit of Thibs is alive and well

Thibs would have kept the starters in until 90 seconds left in the game

Hawks: *cut lead to 51*

Get the starters the fuck outta there. More chance of us getting 150 than losing this game right now.

Jalen, Jake whatever

He doesn't deserve for you to get his name right, lol.

I think Jalen Johnson is a decent complimentary player but will never be core to anything of consequence. He'd be perfect with a high usage guard like Tyrese Maxey
