I hate these breaks that are 4 and 5 days long. It feels like forever since the Hawks played.

As for the game, we just recently beat the Knicks in a game where we were trailing by 16 early on, and ended up winning by 19. I fully expect we win both of these games, and also beat Philly in the days leading up to the big matchup against the Bulls.

Our beloved Atlanta Hawks are favored to win this one by 4.5 points.
We have won the previous two meetings.
We are currently only one game up on Miami in the division.

Tavares as the first big off the bench?

Shelvin as the first PG off the bench?

What the heck is going on?

Hawks down by one after one quarter.

Every Hawks starter has a negative +/- while every bench player who's gotten burn is positive.

Hawks have 6 assists (yay) versus 5 turnovers (doh).

Knicks have 5 offensive rebounds.

Hawks have 7 fast break points.

Shelvin Mack can't run an offense.

Bingo!

Dude is great at nothing. Mediocre at everything. I hate the fact he is our third PG. IMO, he's a waste of a roster spot.

I have to think that Shelvin's sudden rise to #2 on the PG depth chart means one of our PGs is on the way out.

Probably Dennis.

Too many days off?

Not use to Sunday afternoon game time?

Too much partying on Saturday night in NYC?!?

What does it mean when Kent Bazemore is consistently your team's 2nd player?

Either we're great at player development, or we have a serious lack of talent across our roster.

Either way, KB has looked good today. Every other guard or wing...not so much.

Looking at some NFL, I hadn't been missing much., with Atlanta in those euro league uniforms.

Afflalo has 32. Reminds me of the Bucks game last year in December when Jared Dudley just went to work on us.

I'd rather have melo go off and we win next time, making someone else beat you didn't work today.

This sounds like coach-speak. Reciting the company line while something behind the scenes is at play.

He made similar comments about THJ a month ago when asked why HE wasn't playing.

But I have no clue what it means...

:nonono: Bud as personnel man is completely perplexing.
