I think we'll play better, but I don't expect a win here. Luckily the Hawks are on a B2B as well. Would be nice to get some revenge though.

Al Horford would be prudent to shoot 3s here against Gortat since that seems to be our Achilles heel at the 5 position.

Another L

Hawks will score 110+

[WallToWall]

at this moment, we're the 4th worst rebounding team. Our offensive rebounding is in the bottom 10, and because of that our bigs dont get easy put-backs. 5 more offensive rebounds that resulted in points would have swung the previous Celtics game in our favor. From a shooting perspective, we are right there with the Hawks. We could win this game if we can rebound better.

[Illmatic12]

We can win this game if Blair finds a nice spot on the bench and keeps it warm all night


Other things have to happen of course, but that is priority #1 for me

[AFM]

I hope Blair drops 40 tonight

We officially have a crap defense. We will have to score 115+ to have a decent chance at winning this one.

About the only positive I can say about this season is our young core of Wall, Beal, and Porter have generally played well. Beal of course has been fantastic and Porter has been good on the offensive side outside of 3pt shooting. Wall's TOs are out of hand and he is also struggling with his shot, but I'm not too worried as hes a proven all-star, I expect him to get it going soon.

The rest of the team is complete garbo. There is so much roster rot on this team its embarrassing, and its not just the big situation. Sessions is not a good backup and neither is Neal. Duds may never be in shape this year, so his production will be limited. Webster, Blair, Temple are all unplayable and Oubre and Gooden are only effective on one side of the court. Hump is a decent enough backup, but just doesn't cut it as a starter.

I don't even want to think about how bad this team will be when one of our big 3 go down.

[TheBabyMaker]

loss. Book it. Our bigs are horrible (sans Gortat) and he is playing below average. They let Boston clown them, no reason Atlanta should not do the same.

This could get ugly

The latter is my job. And yours too, but they probably only serve Sex On The Beach's at your local sports bar (with little umbrellas in them)

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

A girl I dated way back in the day (who if I had it all over to do again I would have married) mentioned that drink in conversation. Her dad was none too pleased.

Sex on the Beach

[Ruggedd]

This board kinda sucks now, lol. Most Wiz fans are over at Bulletsforever, that's where the best content is

If I wasn't currently suspended from the General forum for using a 'filtered curse word' I probably wouldn't post on this section of RGM much

[WizKid25]

Not a lot of confidence here tonight. I'm optimistic. But we can't turn it over like last night. And we've got to close out defensive possessions with a board to limit those guys to one shot. Don't do those two things well and this could get ugly.

No no no no no no no no NO.
That site is ASS.

The reason I registered for this site is because I was banned from BulletsForever (even though I had thousands of posts over 2 or 3 years) for using the phrase "butt buddy". Prada banned me, sent me a PM, made me promise to never use the phrase again, and Sent me the TOS to look over while I was forced to re-register.
Mike Prada is the biggest pussy ever, and I hope he reads this.

[Illmatic12]

Haha seriously? Hilarious

Prada's gone now btw, he does stuff on the main SBNation site.

[pineappleheadindc]

Dang, this game is gonna be really hard (cue AFM).

We have to address the 4. Hump starting is not really a productive thing to my eye.

[DANNYLANDOVER]

6 TOs already and it's not even midway through the 1st qtr!!!!
