Just realized I'll have to watch the Hawks feed on NBATV tonight. Dominique Wilkins is usually on a haterfest when he calls C's games lol.

Hell nah. For my money, and I've seen most games since the mid-80s, that list is:
1. Jaylen Brown
2. Tony Allen
3. Ricky Davis
Transcending all of them: Robert Williams III
Honorable mentions: Pierce, KG, Dee Brown, Sam Hauser
Nique isn't even the best washed up mid-range jump shooter from the mid-90s on the Celtics

DeCovan Kadell Brown had a put-back dunk against SAC that I'll always remember. Jumping from a crowd, he hung in midair, got it at its apex, and came straight down with it. Right up there with his 'King Kong Jam' if you ask me:)
Edit to add: ****, I was wrong -- it was against CHA, not SAC -- and you can see it via the blurry potato camera of the time here at 2:48 and then super blurry slow mo at 2:50:
Dee was NICE I should have made him #3 above Ricky Davis

Gerald Green gives a middle finger (well what would be my middle finger anyways) to both of you!

For Walsh, Queta, and Peterson fans, I'm sad to report that they won't be active today. They're assigned to the G-League. Davison is listed as QUESTIONABLE for now, I guess dependent on White's status since Holiday is already OUT.

Here's the funny thing, and it actually is sort of hilarious: The Boston Celtics are playing the Hawks in Atlanta twice this week on Monday and Thursday. Meanwhile the Maine Celtics are playing the Atlanta Hawks G League affiliate, The College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday and Thursday, just a few minutes away.
The Atlanta Hawks play in State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. The College Park Skyhawks play in Gateway Center Arena in College Park, GA. The distance between the two facilities is less than 11 miles.
In other words, Davison or Queta could could play for either Maine or Boston this week. The two teams are playing at pretty much the same time on Thursday so if it's legal, Davison could play the first half in College Park, change uniforms, take an uber, and suit up against the Atlanta Hawks for the second half of that contest. It works time-wise.

Meanwhile the Maine Celtics are playing the Atlanta Hawks G League affiliate, The College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday and Thursday right next to Atlanta.

Is this legal?
Unsure what time the deadline is for submitting the final injury report. And I don't think you can go from OUT to AVAILABLE past the deadline. At least I haven't heard that happen before. Playing in the second matchup is a real possibility.

Yeah, either Davison or Springer will be getting way more time than they usually do. Fine with it. I love to watch our developmental guys, too. We should still breeze to a win. There is video of Springer locking down Trae. I way more look forward to Springer than Davison.

He's listed as AVAILABLE for this game. Predicted right that it was contigent on White's availability. The rest of the G-Leaguers are OUT.
