Road trip continues in Atlanta against a Hawks squad that will be missing a couple key pieces due to injury. Need to continue to take care of business and get the win. Jalen Johnson vs Keegan is a matchup I'm very interested in keeping an eye on tonight.

Big shots by fox and derozan to calm it down!

We definitely lose this game last year when Atlanta made that run to tie it up in the fourth, we would have folded for sure. Good sign of improvement that we can compose ourselves and come out with the win.

Derozan's ability to get to the line can seriously bring tears to my eyes. We have not had this for so long and it is a glorious wrinkle to have.

Great game from Keegan as well.

Starters again looked good as a unit, and I'm starting to dislike Lyles big time and the bench struggled. Fox's best game despite the turnovers, more of that from him and the team will be tough. What can be said about Deebo at his age? I wanted a younger player this summer but that was a good move by monte. Keon has been starting to come up off the bench as well

Curious what's there to dislike about Lyles? He's a bench player making 8 million a year. Hes been very active this year and the shot just hasn't fallen, but he's taking good open looks and eventually they will.

well, thats enough. how many wins do we have this year if he's not shooting like booty?

I agree he's been solid defensively on the bench unit tonight, but I wouldn't say thats put him in positive territory. This is the first time we've been able to give Domas a rest

Between our starting 5 and Monk, I'm not really banking on the other guys scoring much. If Keon and Lyles can hover around 35-40% from 3 during the year while playing defense ill be happy.

Now we have a serious backup center problem. Len has always been borderline unplayable, early this season hasn't been pretty. Mike's finally going with lyles there, but that means playing small a lot.

This is another reason I'm big on moving huerter with carter coming back. Roster is unbalanced. Adding another 4-5 fixes that.
