Big Al and DWhite for me, without whose heroics we wouldn't be celebrating a cigar.

Still doesn't have that elite potential like the Sixers or the Bucks.

Sixers were missing Oubre and Batum so this game doesn't count.


Middleton didn’t play either.

Clown behavior in this thread. When we bust ass in the first Q, multiple comments went flying about being great without jb. Cs start losing and a comment about JB fans wanting this game to be about JB. 4th Q rebound/win ends with JB being the drag of the team in multiple posts. Fun times when most JB comments are from people who don't like him but his supporters are the problem. Comedy without trying.

al talking about those fans, I would love that, they got their money's worth times 10! if lbj heard me trashing him all game and mentioned after the game, I'd have that video on replay any time I had a visitor. Might buy an ipad for it to be on permanent replay on the front door. :lol:

I need banton to dunk more because even in preseason he got to the bucket easily but always missed the easy layup. could give us more minutes if he could. still not into him but he was good tonight outside of shots made.

Joe is a good coach. Idc what anyone says. He got his flaws and it still improving but the man knows the game and how to bring a group together, that’s clear to me.

Nice win.

VC goes to White and Al. Both were great.

Jrue and Tatum with good games too.

Fans got it right with the voting today.

Al needs a game like this. He made that first 3 and that got me going. His defense was great on Emiid.

White did it all.

Kornet was terrible in the first half, but great in the 2nd.

Joe did a very good job coaching other than playing Hauser 35 minutes, especially when his shot was off.

In a game without Brown and KP, Tatum was our 4th best player tonight. I had White, Al and Jrue ahead of him. And it wasn't played bad. Props to guys stepping up.

There ought to be a Tony Delk award for players like Maxey who score 50 in a game and never come close to doing it again.
For the record, Chamberlain scored 50+ 113 times during his career. That is one of the few records that will never be broken.

I called him special last season. I believe in him. He did a great job coaching in the regular season last year, especially as a last second coach. He struggled a little in the playoffs but his coaching staff wasn't helping him too much. His top assistant left before the playoffs.

Brad did a really good job this off season, adding great assistants to Joe's coaching staff. Sam Cassell and Charles Lee are great.
Phil Pressey was an underrated addition too.

Maxey is definitely going to score 50 again.

Tonight was a great reminder that Al Horford is a defensive superstar.

I see you, Al!

Great win.

Yep, I've seen too many things this year that indicate he is a good coach. How good we will find out, but he is tracking very nicely.

I am happy enough to say I was wrong in wanting him gone at the end of last year.

Jrue essentially plays the 4 on this team
