It’ll be very interesting to see how the players approach this potential play-in matchup

This is the definition of a trap game. second night of a back to back (including a one hour later start time for last night) on the road after an emotional win. However, Trae being out is obviously a very big deal and hit for Atlanta.
If Trae was playing I'd go in expecting us to lose. Instead i'm expecting a tough fight. Will need the bench to continue to bring energy as I expect the starters to be a bit sluggish.

He was sick earlier in the season and I suspect he got everyone else sick. I don’t know why he is playing sick. Seriously take it easy and let your body get well.
Because it's a common cold.
I don’t care if it is a stomach bug, the point is to stay home so you can get better and so others don’t get sick.

To me this hurts us more then helps. The spacing Gary provides jjst makes everything click more. I think this incoming lineup change will be the deal breaker tonight for an L.

Fultz is back. Now, we have at least one PG tonight.

Obviously. This is the 3rd time this year from injury against the Hawks.

Crazy pattern. Can't be something meaningful but really odd if it's just random.basketballRob wrote:Obviously. This is the 3rd time this year from injury against the Hawks.

Black/Cole/Ingles/JI/Moe has been a great bench unit.

Trae out 4 weeks after hand surgery. We need this win tonight.

Dude, we have a golden opportunity to solidify a top 6 seed with the rest of the season. We have to play well and not let up. We need to avoid the play-in at all costs.
I dont like substituting Fultz for Gary Harris. I dont like Fultz playing at all actually. I think Suggs and Gary should be the default starting lineup going forward.

Trade for Jarret Allen

Paolo out tonight which is 100% the right move he can’t fight off the bug if he is exhausting himself on the court.

Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Moe makes sense but it is probably Chuma as coach doesn't like to mess with rotations which I guess it's fine as long as whomever is playing best gets more minutes. Goga should get playing time tonight as well.eyriq wrote:Curious to see who starts

Well the playing field was just leveled a bit with Paolo now out resting. Probably a smart move to give him a rest. With Harris out too though it's definitely next man up tonight. Chuma and Houstan need to be ready to go. I would probably go ahead and start Chuma and have Houstan backing up Suggs.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the move. Him or mo w. We will see! Bet Fultz gets a lil extra usage on this night. Let's go.... we still got this one.
