Great win by the hawks last night on the road against the Washington Wizards! The Hawks are not a good road team and with the Wizards right behind the Hawks in the play IN standing the Hawks needed this victory in the worst way! With this win do I think the Hawks have turned the corner? It’s complicated imo but let’s look at the two most important reasons why the Hawks might be turning the corner.
The first reason imo is this had to be the most complete game Trae Young has ever had in a Hawks uniform! Not only was he great offensively, but he was great on defense. That’s why I said most complete game of Trae Young career because he was good on both sides of the court. It seems like Trae is finally taking some personal pride in playing some defense these days! We all hope this new Trae young is here to stay! Imo Dejounte and Coach Quin are starting to reach Trae to give more effort in the defensive side of the court. Will he ever be a great defender? Heck no but if he can start being a pesky defensive player with the effort he has given the past 15 games I can live with that!
Special shout out to coach Quin Snyder for coaching the entire game and not only at half time. Throughout the game I see coach quin communicating with all the players. In time outs and free throws Quin is always talking to trae or dejounte! Every time bro as an coach SHOULD do, but unfortunately we rarely saw that with previous coach! Arm folded and looking with that blank stare. I was against we allowing Quin to start running the team prior to next season, but I see now that this dude is a teacher type of coach and he can communicate to everyone on what he wants out of his players.
The Hawks play the Wizards again on Friday and then go to Boston to play the Celtics on a back to back on Saturday! Here’s a link to Fridays game and we hope to see you there! https://www.youtube.com/live/eVV5_iZ83S0?feature=share
