Haven't watched the recording yet, but wanted to stop by and say we've clinched home court in round 1. Next goal is to clinch 3rd place.

Solid on the boards, but still the occasional brain fart that needs to be avoided. Als midrange game came back down to earth. Hopefully that was just a bad game. He still had an overall nice game. Why dont we run more pick and rolls with Josh? It seems that he either scores or finds someone open for a jumper. He always makes a pass that wows you, and a pass that makes you yell. He attempts passes from impossible angles sometimes. Bad offensive game. Jerekbo did a solid job. Craw had a nice game, but sometimes goes to the well too many times.

Even for us this game thread is really poor, it's New Orleans & San Antonio calibur as far as discussion. Ouch!

With All due respect though it was Detroit on a Final 4 Night so i guess you really can't be exactly surprised at this.

Jonas Jerebko has been our brightspot this season. Most of us didn't expect his to see much time beside the occassional D-league stint. But he's started most of the season and has done very well. I don't think he'll ever be a star in the league, but he could be a solid starter for many years if he can add some strength and work on his stroke a little.

Congrats to the Hawks on the win and their incredible season. Good luck in the playoffs. I'm rooting for you guys.

We needed this type of rebounding against Cleveland, but Jason Maxiell, and Ben Wallace (done for the season) sat this one out. Atlanta 50 to 34 on the boards.

Detroit:
Fast Break Pts 14
Points in the Paint 34
Biggest Lead 6

Atlanta:
Fast Break Pts 14
Points in the Paint 42
Biggest Lead 14

Attendance - 18729

Im not gonna lie. I struggled to care. After that Cavs loss I was pissed.
