Lowry just got his elbow drained, and is playing hurt. Toronto is coming into this one not having done so well lately, while the Hawks come in hot. This is a must win if we want to remain top 3 throughout the rest of the season.

I will feel real good about our chances of hitting the 50 win mark and holding on to the 3rd seed if we can win tonight and head home for a 4 game home stand.
I hope to see Teague come out with a vengeance after being abused by Lowry in the 4th qtr of our game at Philips earlier in the year.

This game looks like it'll be a grind all the way through.

Has Paul Millsap taken a turn sleeping with every ref's sister, in the NBA? He must lead the league in times hit with no foul call.

We just can't beat Toronto. It's like how they can't beat Chicago and Chicago can't beat us. Our best hope in the playoffs, if we do remain in 3rd, is to hope for them to choke in the first round like every year.

These refs are worse than Joey Crawford.

Let's just apply the mercy rule and forgo the 4th quarter. Raptors 25 free throws to Atlanta's 6. Raptors shooting 11-20 from 3. They literally play at their best whenever they see Atlanta on the schedule.

Seems like we have a trinity going on. Luckily for us, Chicago isn't likely to make the playoffs.

Why don't we have the closing unit out there to match Toronto's starters??

I came in late at the beginning of the 4th quarter. Why did Bud leave all of our end of the bench guys out there after we cut it to 9? Have our starters been playing like garbage this game or something?

Toronto took a 20 point lead with our starters in there. I don't blame Bud for riding the hot hand.
A terrible call from Lauren Holgcamp, bailing DeRozen out at the end of the shotclock, is what ended our 15-0 run, and starting Toronto's 6-0. Refs were never gonna let us have this one.

Still want Toronto in the second round. Playoff referees won't be this bad and DeRozan won't get his calls.

Tough game to watch. Raptors have our number and they get special treatment from the refs against us.

Any chance Demarre is sharing some of the tendencies and principles of our system with the TOR coaching staff?

Yeah, he must have just rode the hot hand. Still, Hinrich over Teague at the very least was not smart. If anything Teague and Horford should have been in over Hinrich and Moose.

Is it me or are the Heat always playing an awful team? Looks like they'll be in 3rd place after tonight.

I heard that Teague might have hurt his wrist.

It's not this. It's refusing to remove Kyle Korver from the starting lineup against this team. It has to happen or Atlanta has NO SHOT against them. If the playoff series happens, it'll be 2010 Orlando bad and may finally open some eyes.
The matchup problem here is the three ball handler lineup that drives and slashes constantly, and Atlanta has made ZERO adjustments for it.
