I appreciate Kendra not starting her questions with “What if anything…” or “how good does it feel/how exciting is it…”.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Did they talk us up?

I can't handle listening to any broadcasters other than ours, so I get the good NBA League Pass package that lets me get our guys with every game.


The opposite

yeah... the crapped all over us. Complained about how much we fouled... and how much we missed 3s and free throws. haha

24% 3pt shooting and we missed 12 free throws. We'll absolutely take this much needed win on the road, but that just isn't going to get it done 90% of the time. Turning it over only 7 times, and poor free throw shooting from the Hawks as well, helped compensate.

When will Gary Harris score another point? I don't feel like pulling the exact numbers, but by just estimating off the top of my head, I think he's on some absurd streak right now of somewhere around 60 scoreless minutes.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

The team dug in and got you your win bro! Even after a terrible first quarter. I hope it makes your night a little more enjoyable.

remembering my playing days there would be no way my coach would continue to give minutes to a player who gives you nothing offensively and is average defensively.....4th straight 0 point performance....

He hasn't scored since the Warriors game on 2/3.

76 scoreless minutes and counting.

I honestly had a complete meltdown. Fired Mosley then I fired Weltman and finally cut Paolo.

Nice road won after what was a horrific first quarter and a half. Played much better after that. I still think we lack execution ability, attention to detail, intangibles. Felt like we should have won comfortably but lack of details and execution allowed Atl to get back to the game and tie it. Could have gone the other way. Nice win though.

Hopefully Suggs back in a week? Then we can sit Harris.

I always try to rationalize things and I can be something of an apologist for players, unless I'm just a hater (like with Vuc). But that's truly pathetic, especially since I'm pretty certain neither his rebound nor assist total during those 76 minutes eclipses 5. He's a literal bystander.

They did miss alot of layups however we contested those well, there was pressure on those attempts which lead to misses.

9 rebounds and 5 assists in those 76 minutes.

He's only attempted 5 shots, missing them all.

It's tough. He does what they tell him to do on offense. He stands in the corner and waits for passes that almost never come.
