Just saw the highlights. Damn... this is why you box out your man after every shot. Fundamental basketball.

Just got home to see the highlights, nice to see the rebounders just stand there and watch Smith make a move

If our starters played mediocre we would have won easily.. Atlanta has no bench at all.. Crawford is the only one who does anything. they are only playing with 6 players..

freaking starters.. sigh...

It's surprising how bitter/ignorant some people can be. Atlanta is easily one of the deepest teams in the league. Teague has tremendous upside, Evans is a solid defender/shooter, Joe Smith and Pachulia are solid big bodies who can crash the boards and play physical, and Crawford is the leading candidate for 6th man of the year. They're probably not as deep as Houston simply because Houston has so many role players, but they are far from having no bench.

Of course I'm probably preaching to a fervent fan off a loss, so I'm going to assume bitterness got the better part of you.
