Inside the paint is ours If we want it.

We average 52.8 points in the paint yo the Spurs 44.4

The Spurs have been focusing on their point shooting as of late. Averaging 13.9 made per game but in their last three games 16.

Daniels is to blame for Trae's first turnover.

Quin has to stop playing Nance: Hawks are -12 in 11min with him, like at least 3 games out of 4
It would have been great to get him some years ago, but it looks like this season is his first bad one.
We will lose the game just because he was asked to play

PS: after saying this, I'm about to bet on a big 4th quarter from him and a Hawks win

Nance is on the court before the trade deadline. He's not doing enough to improve his value. We will end up buying him out.

So, Nance played a bit more in the 4th, ending up at 17min played, for -13 Plus/Minus
In a game lost by 1pt, that's what I said, they should not play him, or not more than 5min

Hawks are now 7W-14L when he's on the floor, including:
- lost by 2pts with him at -8
- lost by 4pts with him at -18
- lost by 16 with him at -21
- lost by 4 with him at -15
- lost by 5 with him at -10
- lost by 1pt with him at -13

TOs and missed freethrows and no bench production.
$39 million away from team waiting on a trade.
I'll be annoyed if they're still on the team as we have been losing games without them.

This was a good loss. Team struggled with turnovers, but battled and competed against a more talented squad.

Refs bailed out the stick figure that is wemby at the end. (Also, that dude flops...which is insane.)

I can see the vision of this team. I really can.
