With Babbit and Muscala doubtful, is this the game Bud starts Collins, or will Illyasova or Cavanaugh start?

100% healthy - Heyword? Also both Irving and Hortford have both missed time during their winning streak. I believe they won one or two games with both out of the lineup.

Yup. On top of no Hayward all season, we beat Toronto without Irving (facial fracture), the Lakers without Horford (concussion-like symptoms), and Charlotte without both of them. Additionally, Morris (our starting PF) missed the first 9 games of the season (first couple due to his legal case, and the last couple due to knee soreness), and Smart (our 2nd string PG) missed the first two games of the win streak (ankle sprain).

We've been getting by by the skin of our teeth on some wins during this streak, admittedly, but, the one thing you can't say about us is that we haven't faced some injury adversity. I'm personally hoping we're getting it all out of the way early...

Now, all that being said, we look pretty squared away for this one, so, no excuses tonight.

Sensory program at Phillips arena is a great idea. Good to see

Bood is so stupid playing Delaney...

Might want to play better defense with the slam dunk contest going on.

Collins looks really really good. The Hawks are in a nice rebuild position and are doing it the right way.

Smart is a bigtime flopper and the refs are stupid for buying it every time. Refs need to be accountable...unacceptable.

Also, Kyrie is a lil trick for taking that last shot. Karma karma karma...the NBA gods saw that.

We played hard and fought. Collins and Prince are on my 90% untouchable list. Collins putpacks were all Shawn Kempish...like all of them! Should be a 3 way tie for play of night on ESPN ..Collins all 3.

Well, I was right about Boston having an early letdown after a big emotional win, we just couldn't parlay it into a win.

But by God I don't care that Kyrie Irving thinks the world is flat, he might legitimately be my favorite player in the NBA to watch play in person. I'm in awe of his gifts.

Good effort. Respeck for the DelaneySucks block, Collins dunk sequence. That said, DelaneySucks kills us out there.

Printz got abused by Brown. Collins played quite well.

That's all I got. Sigh, tankin sucks. If our talent level was a lil bit higher, we'd be a really good team. We play hard. Good to see.

I still believe we are tanking.

Development (of our young players) over Wins

.
That's my mantra this season.
Bud wants them playing hard and playing the right way. Hawks lack the high end talent to finish games. The hope is to get that player in the draft.

#DelaneySucksatPG.
I can tolerate him at SG, the PG experiment should be over.
Seems Bud is firmly on the tank bus when he took Collins out for Dedmon.

Dang! After watching the first quarter, this one hurts. Bad. Out rebounded, 41 to35. Not good but not terrible.

NBA is a 3 point league. LOOK: Hawks scored 27 points from downtown. Celtics scored 48. Questions?

:oops:
