BrunoSkull, the top of 2014 class of posters.

Can't watch this game though. Going to see American Sniper... better be worth it.

This game is crucial. Because of how we've been playing lately, people started thinking that we just got really lucky in the beginning of the season. If we win this game against the top team in the East, it would make people take us very seriously again.

The Hawks are going to force a ton of rotations. Whether it's through Teague getting to the middle (like we allow), or hitting Horford or Millsap (two mobile bigs that can pass/handle) on the short roll, we'll have to be a lot sharper than we've been in a while.

Let's hope JJ plays more than 15 minutes this game. What does this guy have to do to get minutes from Casey, the supposed defensive guru.

Eventually, the Hawks have to cool down, right?

Tough game, hawks are rolling. The difference is that the Hawks follow their system no matter what happens. While the Raptors tend to go away with things and start doing random crap. Raptors do know how to win. But it's basically discipline vs free style.

Atlanta can't kkep this clip of winning up. Maybe this is the game that starts a nice losing streak for them.

On Gerald Henderson vs Derozan:
"Yes. Hendo is quite a bit better than DeMar.
So yes, I do believe he's currently the better player and do project that will continue to be in the future. I would also take Turner over DD."

That's because they have a coach that actually holds his players accountable.
