That's the problem of having players from a tanking team in your fantasy roster, you never know what will happen, if they will play... :-?


But he was playing so many minutes recently :(

In the games Bud tested him and let him play, to see his potential, but it also cost us a Win Vs PHO, instead of having a worst record.
Now that we know what he can do, why letting him win more games and ruin the first year of tanking in more than a decade ? :wink:

Fair enough! But hey...can someone have Bud get in touch with me to let me know if he's gonna keep restricting his minutes? ;)

We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Orlando won so the 1.5 game 'lead' is back. I believe Phoenix and Memphis play each other 2 more times before the end of the season? We can get that number 2 spot. It's right there.

:D

Couldn't do it better! With only seconds left in the game, Miami has the ball and a one point lead. Hawks
foul, Miami now has a three point lead with a fraction of a second left. They block the desperation heave.

Miami guaranteed a playoff spot with the victory and Hawks record looks pretty good for the draft. With
so many Hawks out for various reasons, they still keep the game "right there" until the end.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR OWN BAY HAWKS !!!!

Braves win! Bay Hawks win! Hawks tank wins! Life is good!

If we get Doncic in this draft, I want this guy as my vet PG playing alongside him.

My congrats to Jamaal as well. He repped the Hawks board well out there (much better than I did).

As for the game, it looks like the Heat saw our warning shot last night and just weren't messing around tonight. Resident Hawk killer Kelly Olynik put them on his back in that crucial stretch in the 2nd quarter.

Much obliged, old friends. I did so much studying on this year's potential draft lottery picks, I was slightly more prepared for the NCAA Tourney than usual.

Drinks on me in the J. A. Adande lounge after the final game of the season. :beer:
