That's the perfect revenge game.

so you'd start...

Springer/JD/Svi/Jaylen/Queta?

end of last game, it was noticeable that Jaylen was doing something on the court to get Cassell's attention and maybe concern -- read that he brushed past Bogdanovic who was trying to shake his hand? Let's go on a rant/tirade about that, anyone?

Nah but seriously: when he gets rolling, Bogdanovic is seriously NICE.

Just use the regular starting unit.

Let ATL score every time they have the ball until the lead reaches 31 points.

I wish teams didn't have to announce injuries before game time (stupid gambling sites) so Jrue could run out the tunnel right before the game starts like a WWF entrance. Scal goes wild as Drew hypes him up and the game is over in under 60 seconds.

Wanna see some bird guts on the hardcourt by 8am. But this time, no putting them back!

We play some really stupid games with this team. Prefer we don’t play them in the first round because it’ll go at least one game more than necessary.

Not that there's any excuse for a championship-level team blowing a 30 point lead to a much weaker opponent missing its best player, but the fiasco did occur in the absence of two of our most intelligent and stable players: D. White and J. Holiday. The bright side: they won't be missing time in the playoffs if it's at all avoidable.

Derrick White back to break Larry's record against the Hawks.

Cliff Levingston was coaching a semi-pro team in my hometown the last several years and they make everyone very accessible to gain interest in the team and sell tickets. They marketed him as former NBA player and if they go beyond that it's "he played with MJ" to help with name recognition for the more casual fans. He and the team would eat dinner almost every Monday at the same place my parents frequent and often take my kids to dinner at. One day he's talking to my son who I think was still 9 at the time and said, "Hey I see your Jordan's on, did you know I played with Michael Jordan?". My son says, "Yeah, but I know you played on the Hawks before that and you were cheering for Larry Bird on the bench as he lit you guys up" LMAO. Cliff was great about it and he and the whole rest of the team busted out laughing. My son got embarrassed because they were laughing, but Cliff was more impressed this 9 year old knew that. The guys on the team asked him if that was true (because they're all to young to have seen it) and he said, "Yeah, it was probably the most impressive game I've ever been a part of."

So my question is who will I run into at a diner in 40 years that was on the Hawks bench that will remember the night Derrick White busted their asses? I'm going with Garrison Mathews...

So, 4 more Wins, and then we'll have 6 Games that we don't have to Win?
Wow. I wonder how Joe and the Celtics play those?

And it's actually any combination of 4 Celtics wins or Nuggets losses. Nuggets could go 8-2 over their last 10 and the C's could go 2-8 and still clinch homecourt.

But let's keep winning anyway imo.
