It’ll be very interesting to see how the players approach this potential play-in matchup

[UCFJayBird]

This is the definition of a trap game. second night of a back to back (including a one hour later start time for last night) on the road after an emotional win. However, Trae being out is obviously a very big deal and hit for Atlanta.

If Trae was playing I'd go in expecting us to lose. Instead i'm expecting a tough fight. Will need the bench to continue to bring energy as I expect the starters to be a bit sluggish.

Fultz is back. Harris is out.

BTW... just wondering if everyone forgow Covid already? Why did the league allow Paolo to play while sick? Dude is hugging breathing spitting woth the team, next week its probably Paolo and whoever bums we pull from the street to play while everyone gets the flu

He was sick earlier in the season and I suspect he got everyone else sick. I don’t know why he is playing sick. Seriously take it easy and let your body get well.

Because it's a common cold.

I don’t care if it is a stomach bug, the point is to stay home so you can get better and so others don’t get sick.

To me this hurts us more then helps. The spacing Gary provides jjst makes everything click more. I think this incoming lineup change will be the deal breaker tonight for an L.

big win incoming for the boys

[RichCollab]

Fultz is back. Now, we have at least one PG tonight.

Obviously. This is the 3rd time this year from injury against the Hawks.

Crazy pattern. Can't be something meaningful but really odd if it's just random.

[eyriq]

Black/Cole/Ingles/JI/Moe has been a great bench unit.

7 GP
43 MIN
122.5 OFFRTG
101.1 DEFRTG
21.4 NETRG

[Residual-Heat]

Trae out 4 weeks after hand surgery. We need this win tonight.

[DiplomaticMagic]

Dude, we have a golden opportunity to solidify a top 6 seed with the rest of the season. We have to play well and not let up. We need to avoid the play-in at all costs.

I dont like substituting Fultz for Gary Harris. I dont like Fultz playing at all actually. I think Suggs and Gary should be the default starting lineup going forward.

Paolo out tonight which is 100% the right move he can’t fight off the bug if he is exhausting himself on the court.

Paolo out tonight

Right move to rest Paolo

Curious to see who starts

Curious to see who starts

Moe makes sense but it is probably Chuma as coach doesn't like to mess with rotations which I guess it's fine as long as whomever is playing best gets more minutes. Goga should get playing time tonight as well.

Start Goga and play Wendell in Paolo's role.

Well the playing field was just leveled a bit with Paolo now out resting. Probably a smart move to give him a rest. With Harris out too though it's definitely next man up tonight. Chuma and Houstan need to be ready to go. I would probably go ahead and start Chuma and have Houstan backing up Suggs.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the move. Him or mo w. We will see! Bet Fultz gets a lil extra usage on this night. Let's go.... we still got this one.
