Herro should be coached to do the Rip Hamilton/ Reggie Miller thing of running his defender into screens and circling the court until he gets space.

Lowry/Butler should in turn be on the ball and feeding Herro when he's open.

I see you, OP, putting Play-in “Rd 1” in the title because you know we’re playing Play-in Rd 2 on Friday.

I agree. He has much better off-ball potential than on-ball.

I'm pretty confident that we'll win. But with this team ... you know that's what I was thinking. :lol:

Literally no reason to lose this game

I can't get hyped for this. The real playoffs get me hyped. It's shameful to even be in this position. From 1st to 7th, 9 less wins, 12/15 players returning with the departing being 37 year old PJ Tucker, Dedmon, and Morris.

Nonsense, El Alonzo scowl, a lot of teams would like to be in our position. I like our chances against the Hawks, and failing that, against the Raptors or Bulls.

Great OP too! We're fine.

Get the dub.

Once we’re in, I don’t really care what seed we are. We’re either good enough to win or we aren’t. We’ll find out soon enough.

Hawks are in a bad place right now. Don't be surprised if we look unstoppable and beat them by 20+ pts. We also know how to play them real well. Also don't get too confidant after that dominant win we won't look as good vs Boston.

Get the win, I’ve wanted Boston since the ASB

You know Trae is going to try to score 50 after the report that he's available.

The way Miami forces the ball out of his hands and picks him up the moment he crosses half court, i think its doubtful. However you cannot count on this Miami Heat team this year like weve done in the past.

I don't think he'll score 50, I just think he's going to try. I actually think that helps us.

meh.

We're really not good enough.

not a huge difference between losing to Hawks to losing 4-1 to Celtics.

Just more embarrassing, but would be far from surprising to me.

Really hard to find reasons to get hyped
