3/19 rockets at Hawks

7:30

Should be a good one.

Charlotte losing by 17 at the half. Miami plays the Cavs, a win here could separate us from the pack for third.

What the hell is this "swipe right night" stuff? And the "love nest"? Are the hawks promoting and pushing for singles to hook up at phillips arena? LOL

[DirtybirdGA]

Didn't know Harry had a love nest...kinda like chief knoc a homa's teepee....lol

[ATLHawksfan21]

That might have been the most blatant flop I have ever seen live. Harden is a punk

[DirtybirdGA]

Hawks can't keep up...throwing the ball away. Poor d.

[ATLHawksfan21]

That man THJr needs more PT

[Jamaaliver]

Fourth quarter. Dennis is getting penetration at will. But Houston's double teaming and he isn't recognizing it in time...leading to multiple turnovers.

But he is having his way with the Rocket's defenders one-on-one.

He needs more seasoning...but he is absolutely ready to start.

[DirtybirdGA]

^ is this January 15? Lol

Turnovers didn't cost them.

[ATLHawksfan21]

That 2nd unit is stronger than ever with dennis, thabo, thjr, Scott and humph

Great win!

I want to shoutout Korver and Schroder specifically tonight (everyone played well, though).

Korver started hitting some massive shots in the third to get us back in it. Back to back 3's, and he got a dunk on that fast break, which just caused the arena to explode (great job by Thabo for recognizing the effect of a possible Korver dunk on the home crowd, and giving it to Kyle when it was a 2 on 0 break). If not for Korver, I think Houston would've pushed the lead into the double digits.

Then there's Dennis. We got the good with the bad with Schröder, but the good far outweighed the bad. He had some very sloppy turnovers (a few straight to begin the 4th, and one in the 2nd quarter where he threw the ball to coach Bud). But he scored 11 points in a row to end the 3rd and begin the 4th, including a big 3 after a 3 min 4th quarter scoring draught, when we had nothing going.

That all world defense also clamped down at the 2:30 mark of the quarter, when we were up 100-95. They forced turnover after turnover after that point in the game, and that's what put the nail in the coffin.

So Josh Smith received his 8th straight DNP-CD tonight?

Is his career essentially over at this point?

Pretty much if beas comes in from overseas and Monte takes his place.

But he was bringing the energy on the bench like a great teammate and that honestly suprised me. But really, until he gets to a team that plays him at the 4, then he is pretty much done. Dude is simply never going to be a 3.

This was a good game, however this is the type of game that reminds me that Schroder is solid as a point but not a guy you can count on as a starter. With starter minutes he easily has 10+ turnovers tonight. And that huge three he hit...that was a horrible shot for when he took it. But he made it so all was good with the world.

People love to call Teague "passive" but his poise at the end of this game was key to the win. This is just why I would still rather move rather move Teague AND Dennis.

Ditto. Teague's been doing that throughout the little success streak we have going. Would to see him nail a game winner just for confidence sake. He's the only closer type we have.

There is a difference between Teague being passive and him playing with poise, we know the difference.
